                  The undergraduate SRC submission deadline has been

                    Yang, the winner of the Student Research Competition at 
                    MobiCom '05, placed 2nd in this year's ACM 
                    SRC Grand Final. She is a Ph.D. candidate at the Dept. of 
                    Computer Science, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. 
                    Her advisor is Prof. Robin Kravets.  
                  The ACM Student Research Competition (sponsored by Microsoft 
                    Research) held at MobiCom 2006 will consist of two categories: 
                    undergraduate and graduate. Students whose submissions 
                    are accepted by the SRC committee will receive up to $500 
                    for their conference travel, depending on need and eligibility. 
                    Selected abstracts will be published at ACM 
                    Mobile Computing and Communications Review, Special Section 
                    on MobiCom'06 posters. The top three winners from each category 
                    will receive plaques with their names engraved and the prizes 
                    of $500, $300, and $200, respectively. Winners are also automatically advanced to the ACM SRC Grand 
                    Finals to compete with the winners from other ACM SIG conferences. 
                    The winners of the Grand Finals will be recognized at the 
                    annual ACM Awards Banquet.   
                   SRC submissions should describe recent research conducted 
                    primarily by students or a recent development that involves 
                    a substantial amount of work achieved primarily by students. 
                    Research and development projects that fall in the general 
                    area of wireless networking and mobile computing are acceptable. 
                    Please refer to the MobiCom CFP for a detailed list of interest 
                    areas. Each submission should include the authors' names, 
                    affiliations, email addresses, research advisors' names, ACM 
                    student member number, SRC category (undergraduate or graduate), 
                    and an extended abstract. Note that if any member of the team 
                    is a graduate student the submission must be classified into 
                    the graduate category. The extended abstract should be formatted 
                    the same way as other regular student poster submissions. The submissions are first reviewed by the SRC committee. 
                    Based on their research quality and significance, the SRC 
                    committee accepts SRC candidates to enter the first round 
                    of competition during the poster session at the conference. 
                    The SRC committee then evaluates the SRC poster presentations, 
                    with the additional criteria of oral and visual clarity, and 
                    selects three finalists from each category. Each finalist 
                    will give a formal presentation, in the same style as the 
                    regular conference paper presentations. The SRC committee 
                    finally votes and ranks the finalists. The winners will be 
                    announced at the conference banquet.   
                   Complete a submission to the Student Poster Program by June 
                    30, 2006 August 25, 2006, and indicate that you 
                    would like to participate in the SRC. Candidates accepted 
                    by the SRC committee should be prepared to attend the poster 
                    session and, if selected for further competition, give a formal 
                    presentation about their research at the conference. Current 
                    ACM student membership and student status as of the submission 
                    deadline are required for the lead student.   
                   
                   
                    Will the $500, $300, $200 received by the winners in each 
                      of the two categories be *in addition* to the $500 travel 
                      grant? 
 A: Yes, the cash prizes are in addition to the travel grants. 
                      Travel grants are awarded to all accepted SRC poster presenters, 
                      but prizes are only awarded to the top three from each category.
 
 Is the submission of "extended abstracts" a "dual-submission" 
                      to the Student Poster Program? 
 A: Yes, SRC posters are considered parts of the Student 
                      Poster Program. However, there will be regular student posters 
                      that do not compete in SRC.
 
 How will a candidate know he/she has won the $500 conference 
                      travel grant, and then to attend the conference using the 
                      $500? 
 A: We will send out the notification of the acceptance to 
                      the SRC program around the end of July. The travel grant 
                      checks will be distributed at the conference.
 
 "Selected abstracts" will be published in MC2R; 
                      but are these the winners of the first round (or the finalists)? 
                      
 A: Not exactly. We usually publish more poster abstracts 
                      than the SRC finalists, depending on the quality of the 
                      student posters and the page budget from MC2R. 
                      We select poster abstracts from the pool of all student 
                      posters, including both SRC posters and regular student 
                      posters.
 
 I am a PhD student. Can I participate? 
 A: Yes, as a PhD student you qualify for the graduate students 
                      category.
 
 Is the ACM student membership required for SRC?
 A: Yes, the lead author of an SRC submission must be a student 
                      with ACM membership. If the student is not an ACM member 
                      yet, he/she can join ACM before the submission deadline 
                      to be eligible. ACM membership is not required for regular 
                      student poster submissions.
