Doctoral Symposium
The SPLASH 2010 Doctoral Symposium provides students with useful guidance for completing their dissertation research and beginning their research careers. The Symposium will provide an interactive forum for doctoral students in one of two phases:
- Apprentices, who are just beginning their research, are not ready to actually make a research proposal, but are interested in learning about structuring research and getting some research ideas; and,
- Proposers, who have progressed far enough in their research to have a structured proposal, but will not be defending their dissertation in the next 12 months.
Posters
SPLASH Posters provide an excellent forum for authors to present their work in an informal and interactive setting. Posters are ideal to showcase speculative, late-breaking results or to introduce interesting, innovative work. Posters sessions are highly interactive. They allow authors and interested participants to connect to each other and to engage in discussions about the work presented. Posters provide authors with a unique opportunity to draw attention to their work during the conference. Therefore, authors in other SPLASH technical tracks are strongly encouraged to complement their submission with a poster about their work.
Student Research Competition
After its remarkable success in previous years, SPLASH is again hosting an ACM SIGPLAN Student Research Competition. The competition, sponsored by Microsoft Research, is an internationally-recognised venue that enables undergraduate and graduate students to experience the research world, share their research results with other students and SPLASH attendees, and compete for prizes. The ACM SIGPLAN Student Research Competition shares the Poster session's goal to facilitate students' interaction with researchers and industry practitioners; providing both sides with the opportunity to learn of ongoing, current research. Additionally, the Student Research Competition affords students with experience with both formal presentations and evaluations.
Student Volunteers
The Student Volunteer program is an opportunity for students from around the world to associate with the top people in programming languages, object-oriented technology, research, and software development. Students volunteer a few hours of their time performing tasks that help the conference run smoothly. These tasks include assisting with registration, providing information about the conference to attendees, and monitoring tutorials. In exchange for volunteering, students receive a complimentary full conference registration, free admission to tutorials on a space-available basis, and many other benefits.
We strongly encourage students to become involved with the SPLASH 2010 Student Volunteer Program.
