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. 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 one page, 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 at net.t-labs.tu-berlin.de by October 15, 2008, 11:59pm CET.
