Call for Abstracts: ACM SRC @ PACT 2021
The ACM Student Research Competition (SRC) is a forum for graduate and
undergraduate students to share their research results, exchange
ideas, and improve their communication skills while competing for
prizes. The SRC consists of three rounds: a) online abstract
submission authored by the student alone, b) poster session at PACT
2021 by authors for selected abstracts and c) presentation at PACT
2021 by authors of the top posters selected by judges at the
conference.
The evaluation of round (1) will focus on the quality of the research
contributions, while rounds (2) and (3) will also consider the quality
of visual and oral presentation. You can find more information on the
ACM Student Research Competition at http://src.acm.org/

A participant in the SRC must meet all of the following conditions:

the content of a poster that is going to be presented during the

the research problem, motivation and background, techniques and
results, and the prospect for clearly and concisely conveying the work
in a poster format. It should state the novelty and contributions of
the work explicitly.
- The standard self-plagiarism rules are in effect. If the research
results have already appeared in a publication, prior to the SRC

an SRC and in another session at PACT 2021. Novelty is one of the
criteria for selection.
- The participant can be from anywhere in the world, but must be an
ACM student member, and must maintain an undergraduate or graduate
student status as of the abstract deadline. Please indicate whether
you are an undergraduate or graduate student. You may join ACM prior
to entering. Basic student membership is $19 per year or less:
