OVERVIEW
Sponsored by ACM and Microsoft Research, the ACM Student Research Competition (SRC) is a forum for graduate and undergraduate students to share their research results, exchange ideas, and improve their communication skills while competing for prizes. The SRC consists of three rounds: Online abstract submission authored by the student alone. Poster session at PACT-2018 by authors selected abstracts. Presentation at PACT-2018 by authors of the top 3 posters selected by judges at the conference. 
The evaluation of round (1) will focus on the quality of the research contributions, while rounds (2) and (3) will consider that and the quality of visual and oral presentation. You can find more information on the ACM Student Research Competition at: http://src.acm.org <http://src.acm.org/>
