The SPEC Distinguished Dissertation Award (formally called SPEC Benchmarking
Research PhD Award) aims to recognize outstanding doctoral dissertations within
the scope of the SPEC Research Group in terms of scientific originality,
scientific significance, practical relevance, impact, and quality of the
presentation.
The scope of the SPEC Research Group includes computer benchmarking,
performance evaluation, and experimental system analysis in general,
considering both classical performance metrics such as response time,
throughput, scalability and efficiency, as well as other non-functional system
properties included under the term dependability, e.g., availability,
reliability, and security. Contributions of interest span the design of metrics
for system evaluation as well as the development of methodologies, techniques
and tools for measurement, load testing, profiling, workload characterization,
dependability and efficiency evaluation of computing systems.
The winner will receive $1000, which will be awarded at the ACM/SPEC ICPE 2013
International Conference.
A nomination should include:
- A nomination letter (including the name of the student, the title of the
dissertation, the institution where the dissertation was defended, and the date
of the defense).
- A 1-page report that outlines the outstanding contribution of the
dissertation.
- The dissertation itself including a 1-page extended abstract of the
dissertation. (If the dissertation is written in language other than English,
it may be accompanied by publications, in English, describing the same research
as the dissertation.)
The SPEC Distinguished Dissertation Award is open to dissertations that have
been defended between October 1, 2011, and September 30, 2012. If there are
several outstanding submissions, the committee may split the award between them.
The submission deadline is September 30, 2012.
Nominations are welcome at any time before the final submission deadline.
Nominations, or questions about the application process, should be sent by
e-mail to: Nominations at spec dot org. Self-nominations are not accepted.
