- A panel of referees will evaluate all

refereed). Evaluation criteria will include significance of the research, thoroughness and accuracy
of the research, as well as written expression of the work.
- The authors of all accepted
abstracts will be invited to make poster presentations during and in between the Friday afternoon
conference sessions. Invited authors will be notified by the last day of September prior to the
conference. All invited authors are expected to attend the conference to make the poster
presentation.
- Based on the poster presentation as well as the original criteria, the
referees will select five finalists. These five students will give a full presentation of their work
during Concurrent Session II on Fridayof the conference.
- The top three winners will be announced in a ceremony at the conclusion of the
conference.
- In addition to prizes arranged by the conference committee through local sponsorship, the first place
winner will receive a prize of $75, the second place winner $50 and the third place winner
$25. Cash prizes are provided through the generous sponsorship of Upsilon Pi Epsilon (UPE).
- Accepted abstracts will be published in an addendum to the conference proceedings,
and at the conference web site. They will not appear in the Journal of Computing Sciences in
Colleges, however.
Additional Benefits
Participants whose submissions are
selected for the poster display must register for the conference at the student rate, giving them
access to all sessions, exhibits and keynote addresses. In addition, they receive a Saturday luncheon
ticket and a copy of an addendum to the proceedings containing all selected abstracts. A banquet
ticket is not included for student research contest participants, but may be purchased separately upon
registration. All participants (registered for the conference) are cordially invited to a pizza party
on Friday, November 1. This event will take place in Riley Hall 204, and will run from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. (overlapping with the conference banquet).
