Student Events

As with previous editions of the AOSD student events, the MODULARITY: aosd•2012 consists of several events designed to engage and connect students both with other students and with domain experts including the Student Forum, the Poster Event, and the Student Research Competition. With the goal of globally connect AOSD student researchers, this year's organizer intend to initiate a virtual student research community before the conference. Register early to get connected.

Announcement

We are happy to announce that AOSD Europe will fund up to 10 grants supporting student registrations for MODULARITY: aosd•2012. We plan to select students based on received applications (not more than 250 words) and target a balanced mix of countries.

Please note: The grants are limited to students from European universities (independent of nationality). A grant includes 250 € that will only be reimbursed after a student has registered for the full conference (350 €).

Student Forum

Sunday March 25th, 2012 from 9:30 am to 6:00 pm
Room A-1.1

The Student Forum will take place on the Sunday preceding the conference to allow students to meet other students before the main conference begins. As in previous years, the Student Forum will be an interactive format that allows students to interact brainstorm innovative ways that AOSD research interests intersect. Students will also have the opportunity to hear from and ask questions of domain experts both in a panel and small group settings.

Preliminary Schedule

9:30–10:00 am	meet and greet
10:00–noon	Workshop to identify viable areas of research within AOSD Given the move to a more inclusive program of modularity, the forum will consider the evolution of AOSD research and have students identify areas of research that are inline with the new directions of this community. Students will identify viable research strategies and key research questions related to these AOSD research topics.
noon–1:30 pm	Lunch
1:30–3:30 pm	Panel of experts Each panelist will provide a basic overview of their existing research and specifically how it fits with the new directions of AOSD research and how it differs from from their first work in the area of AOSD. Results from the morning session will form the basis for the questions to the panel to elicit expert feedback student perspectives.
3:30–3:45 pm	break
3:45–5:45 pm	Group work and presentations Based on the results of the previous two sessions, students will be grouped and will work together on poster paper to outline a possible new research project.
6:00 pm	group dinner (self-pay)

Confirmed Panelists:

Dr. Christoph Bockisch, University of Twente, The Netherlands
Dr. Michael Haupt, Oracle Labs Potsdam, Germany
Prof. Dr. Olaf Spinczyk, Technical University of Dortmund, Germany
Dr. Stefan Hanenberg, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany
Walter Cazzola (PhD), University of Milan, Italy

Student Poster Session

Monday March 26th, 2012 (at the workshop reception)

The Poster Event is always one of the most exciting and well attended social events of the conference. This event, held during the workshop reception on Monday, allows students to present their research to conference attendees while mingling in a social setting. Students that participate in both the Student Forum and the Poster Event have the added advantage of already knowing other participants. Do not miss out on this opportunity to take your research to the next level, clarify problem statements, vet solutions, identify evaluation methods or just prepare for your dissertation.

Student Research Competition

First Round (Posters): Monday March 26th, 2012 (at the workshop reception)

Second Round (Presentations): Wednesday March 28th, 2012 (early afternoon)

MODULARITY: aosd•2012 is hosting an ACM SIGPLAN Student Research Competition. The competition, sponsored by Microsoft Research, is an internationally-recognized venue that enables undergraduate and graduate students to experience the research world, share their research results with other students and MODULARITY: aosd•2012 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.
