[Tccc] EWSN 2010/CONET Master and PhD Thesis Awards

The Chairs of the 7th European Conference on Wireless Sensor Networks (EWSN
2010) and the CONET Consortium are pleased to announce the Master and PhD
Thesis Award Competitions in the area of Cooperating Objects. The prize is
donated by CONET, the Cooperating Objects Network of Excellence, which is an
EU-funded project under ICT, Framework 7 (for more information refer to
http://www.cooperating-objects.eu).

Cooperating Objects combine the strong functional aspects of embedded
systems, pervasive computing and wireless sensor networks. Cooperating
objects entities federate themselves into dynamic and loose networks in
order to reach a common goal. This common goal will typically be related to
sensing or control.

Theses eligible for the competition have to be completed at an official
European university (EU and EFTA) between 1/DEC/2008 and 30/NOV/2009.
Candidates must submit the following materials (in English) in electronic
format until 4/DEC/2009:
. Application letter, including the name of the student, the title of
the thesis, its duration, and its date of completion, the date of the
defense, the overall grade and a report on the outstanding contributions of
the thesis.
. Letter of recommendation from Advisor.
. The thesis itself.

Submission of a single document file in PDF format must be done thru EDAS at
http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7933 .

The award will be assessed by CONET members. Criteria for selecting the
winner are scientific originality, scientific significance for the field of
Cooperating Objects, quality of the presentation and potential for practical
application. Each category of thesis (MSc or PhD) will have separate prizes
assigned by separate academic and industrial juries, for a total of 4
prizes:
. MSc Academic - 250 Euros
. MSc Industrial - 250 Euros
. PhD Academic - 500 Euros
. PhD Industrial - 500 Euros

The jury can decide not to award some of the prizes if the quality or
significance of the submitted works is not relevant. The jury will decide on
which track the thesis will be evaluated.
The winners of each category will be awarded at the EWSN 2010 dinner on
February 18th.
