RWS 2010
Student Paper Competition Rules

< talal_stanford@yahoo.com >

1. The purpose of the student paper contest is to reward graduate students for exceptional work, and take into account a group project atmosphere as well as individual projects. The first author must be a student (a full time or a part time).
   
   
2. Number of awards: One first place, One second place and One third place.
   
   
3. Number of authors on the paper: No limit, including outside authors. Outside authors are defined as co-authors from industry or from other institutions (government labs, other universities, etc.).
   
   The outside authors are included in order to encourage group-project submissions.
   
   The review committee will take into account the number of authors vs. the level of work presented in the paper in order not to penalize the individual project submissions.
   
   
4. Eligibility/Advisor: Letter from major advisor (Professor) stating that the first author is a registered full-time student or part-time student, and has done a substantial portion of the work.
   
   Failure to provide this letter will result in disqualification. Email responses will be accepted, but additional information on author participation may be requested.
   
   
5. All students wishing to participate in the contest are required to follow the regular Symposium submission process for papers including registration.
   
   
6. Student Paper Contest submissions are first evaluated by the Technical Program Committee (TPC), along with all other manuscript submissions, and receive no special consideration when being considered for acceptance to the Symposium.
   
   
7. Those papers that are accepted for publication, identified as Student Paper submissions, and that meet the criteria listed above become eligible for the Student Paper Contest.
   
   
8. The eligible student papers accepted for publication will be separately evaluated again by the TPC in order to select Student Paper finalists.
   
   
9. Finalists will receive email notification, and receive special recognition in the RWS 2010 Program Guide. It is expected that we will have 12 finalists in the symposium, but the final number will depend on the total number of submissions.
