STUDENT SCHOLARSHIPS for SOSP '05

The ACM Symposium on Operating Systems, to be held on October 23-26 in Brighton, UK, will be offering a limited number of scholarships to enable students to attend the conference.

Each scholarship covers the SOSP conference registration, including meals and proceedings, and a shared hotel room during the conference. Additional funding may be awarded toward the cost of travel. Scholarships will be awarded by the scholarship committee based on a combination of need and merit. Students receiving scholarships must agree to serve as a session scribe (if required) during the conference. Applicants are encouraged to participate in the poster session and work-in-progress presentations.

Funding is available to all students at educational institutions, world-wide. Members of groups historically under-represented at SOSP are especially encouraged to apply. Although most applicants in past years have been graduate students, undergraduates who are actively involved in systems research projects are welcome to apply.

Applications are due on August 30, 2005. Information on how to apply can be found by following the link off of the SOSP web page, available at the following URL: http://www.sosp-20.com/scholarships.htm

Please forward this announcement to any student interested in attending the conference.
