First Annual SIGMOD Programming Contest
Providence, RI, 2009
Call for Entries
More details will be posted by December 1, 2008.
Student teams from degree granting institutions are invited to compete in a programming contest to develop an indexing system for main memory data. The winning team will be awarded a prize of $5,000. Submissions will be judged based on their overall performance on a supplied workload. The top three submissions will be invited to compete in a "bakeoff" to be held at SIGMOD; up to two students from each team will receive travel grants to attend the conference.
