[Tccc] Nominations for ACM Sigcomm Rising Start Award needed

SIGCOMM Rising Star Award

Each year, ACM SIGCOMM will present a "Rising Star" Award, recognizing a
young researcher - an individual no older than 35 - who has made outstanding
research contributions to the field of communication networks during this
early part of their career. Depth, impact, and novelty of the researcher's
contributions will be key criteria upon which the Rising Star Award
Committee will evaluate the nominees. Also of particular interest are strong
research contributions made independently from the nominee's PhD advisor.

The award will be presented at the annual ACM CoNEXT conference, where the
award-winner will deliver a keynote address. Conference registration,
travel, and lodging for the awardee will be paid by ACM SIGCOMM.

Nominations

The nominee must be 35 years of age or younger as of December 31st of the
year in which the award is made.

The Rising Star Award Committee solicits nominations for deserving
candidates.

The nominator should solicit recommendations from colleagues in the field
who are most familiar with the nominee's achievements.

Copies of published work should not be sent.

The nominator is responsible for ensuring that all nomination materials
reach the Rising Star Award Committee Chair, by email, by the submission
deadline.

Nominations that arrive after the deadline will be held over to the
following year for consideration. Nominations that did not result in an
award can be resubmitted or updated in subsequent years.

Self-nominations are not accepted.


Material to be included in the nomination:

* Curriculum Vitae, including publications of nominee.
* A statement, of maximum two pages, documenting the nominee's research
accomplishments.
* A letter from the nominator, of maximum two pages, justifying the
nomination, the significance of the work and the nominee's role in the
work.
* A maximum of four endorsement letters of recommendation from others,
which identify the rationale for the nomination and by what means the
recommender knows of the nominee's work.

Nominations must be sent to rstar-nominations@net.t-labs.tu-berlin.de by
October 15, 2009, 11:59pm CET.
