Call for Nominations
Deadline: December 31st, 2014
Starting in 2010, the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science
(EATCS) established the Presburger Award. The Award is conferred annually
at the International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming
(ICALP) to a young scientist (in exceptional cases to several young
scientists)
for outstanding contributions in theoretical computer science,
documented by a
published paper or a series of published papers. The Award is named after
Mojzesz Presburger who accomplished his path-breaking work on
decidability of the
theory of addition (which today is called Presburger arithmetic) as a
student in
1929.
Nominations for the Presburger Award can be submitted by any member or
group of members of the theoretical computer science community except
the nominee
and his/her advisors for the master thesis and the doctoral
dissertation. Nominated
scientists have to be at most 35 years at the time of the deadline of
nomination
(i.e., for the Presburger Award of 2015 the date of birth should be in 1979
or later). The Presburger Award Committee of 2015 consists of Zoltan
Esik (Szeged),
Claire Mathieu (Paris), and Peter Widmayer (Zürich, chair). Nominations,
consisting of a
two page justification and (links to) the respective papers, as well as
additional
supporting letters, should be sent by e-mail to:
Peter Widmayer
widmayer@inf.ethz.ch <mailto:widmayer@inf.ethz.ch>
The subject line of every nomination should start with Presburger Award
2015,
and the message must be received before December 31st, 2014.
The award includes an amount of 1000 Euro and an invitation to ICALP 2015
for a lecture.
