Starting in 2012, the Steering Committee of the Latin American
Theoretical Informatics (LATIN) symposium instituted the Imre Simon
Test-of-Time Award, given to LATIN papers deemed to be the highly
significant and lasting influence, as judged by an Award Selection
Committee -- the eligible papers should have been published at least ten
years prior to the current edition of the conference.
Papers published in LATIN proceedings up to and including 2010 are
eligible for the 2020 award. All such papers shall be considered,
except those already awarded or co-authored by members of the Award
Selection Committee.
Past recipients of the Imre Simon Test-of-Time Award are:
2012: Michael Bender and Martin Farach-Colton.
"The level ancestor problem simplified" (LATIN 2002)
2014: Graham Cormode and S. Muthukrishnan.
"An improved data stream summary: The count-min sketch and its
applications" (LATIN 2004)
2016: Alistair Sinclair.
Mixing rates of Markov chains and multicommodity flow"
(LATIN 1992)
2018: Marie-France Sagot.
"Spelling approximate repeated or common motifs using a
suffix tree" (LATIN 2002)
Nomination letters are being sought in order to receive input from the
research community and to identify and gather relevant information for
potential awardees. Nomination letters should name an eligible paper
and summarize the reasons for which the proponent(s) think it should
be awarded. All nominations should be sent by email to
** award-committee@dim.uchile.cl **
not later than
** October 31st, 2019 **
All received letters will be acknowledged.
The committee will take into account, among others, the following
criteria: general impact on the field, including the influence on
existing or new lines of research originating from the work, number of
citations, applicability, and impact on other research and the real
world.
The Award Selection Committee members for the 2020 edition are:
Marcos Kiwi (U. Chile -- Chair)
Conrado Martínez (U. Politècnica de Catalunya)
Jacques Sakarovitch (CNRS/U. Paris Diderot & Telecom Paris)
The next Imre Simon Test-of-Time Award will be delivered at the 2020
LATIN Symposium in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The award shall consist of a
plaque and, if funds are available, a travel stipend to LATIN for an
author of the paper, who will be invited to give a presentation.
