SIGBED Awards

ACM SIGBED is responsible for two major awards in the area of embedded systems. Both are presented during the yearly ESWEEK series of conferences and workshops.

 

Frank Anger Memorial ACM SIGBED/SIGSOFT Student Award

Description

Recently, ACM established a student award in the name of late Dr. Frank Anger to promote cross-disciplinary research between embedded systems and software engineering. SIGBED solicits applications from qualified student members. The submission deadline is usually beginning of August each year and will be distributed to all SIGBED members well in advance.

To qualify for the SIGBED award, a student must:

  • Be author on a paper accepted for presentation at a SIGBED-sponsored conference (such as EMSOFT, IPSN, CODES/ISSS, CASES, SENSYS, LCTES, HSCC) in the current year or the year before.
  • Be undertaking research in embedded systems in a graduate program in an accredited college or university at the time of the paper presentation.
  • Be a member of SIGBED (check ACM SIGBED website on how to join, if you are not a member).

The application should be sent by email to the current SIGBED chair and should consist of:

  • A synopsis of research that the student is pursuing (2 paragraphs, with pointer to at least one publication at a SIGBED sponsored meeting during the year or year before).
  • A proposal to attend SIGSOFT conference (see http://www.sigsoft.org/) in which the student discusses the potential for crossover in ideas between the student's research and research in software (2 paragraphs limit).
  • An email from the student's research advisor confirming that the student is in good standing and pursuing the research described in the proposal.

The selection will be done by the SIGBED executive committee based on the student's research record and relevance to the cross-disciplinary spirit of the award. The award will be presented during the ESWEEK event. The award consists of a certificate and up to $2000 to cover expenses of the student to attend the chosen SIGSOFT meeting during the next year. Contact the SIGBED chair for more information.

SIGBED EMSOFT Best Paper Award

The SIGBED EMSOFT Best Paper Award will be presented to the individual(s) judged by the award committee to have written the best paper appearing in the EMSOFT conference proceedings.
