CALL FOR PAPERS: ACM Student Research Competition Hypertext 2012 ----------------------------------------------------------------

Hypertext 2012 will be participating in the ACM Student Research Competition sponsored by Microsoft Research. The SRC, which is held at selected ACM conferences, will provide an opportunity for graduate and undergraduate students attending Hypertext 2012 to receive a $500 travel grant from Microsoft Research to present their research at Hypertext 2012. All invited students will compete in a conference competition for the best presentations, with the winners eligible for a spot in the SRC Grand Finals. The SRC is a valuable opportunity for students to participate in Hypertext 2012 and to receive recognition from ACM for the quality of their research.

The Hypertext 2012 SRC consists of two rounds: a poster session and a presentation session. A panel of judges will select a number of finalists from the poster session, who will be invited to the presentation session. Winners are selected from the presentation session. The top three undergraduate and graduate winners will receive prizes of $500, $300, and $200, respectively.

The Hypertext 2012 SRC winners will be invited to participate in the SRC Grand Finals, an online round of competitions among the winners of individual conference-hosted SRCs. The winners of the Grand Finals are invited to the ACM awards banquet together with their advisors, for an all-expenses-paid trip.
