SIGCOMM Rising Star Award

Each year, ACM SIGCOMM will present a "Rising Star" Award, recognizing a young researcher - an individual no older than 35 - who has made outstanding research contributions to the field of communication networks during this early part of their career. Depth, impact, and novelty of the researcher's contributions will be key criteria upon which the Rising Star Award Committee will evaluate the nominees. Also of particular interest are strong research contributions made independently from the nominee's PhD advisor.

After a rigorous and competitive selection process, following an open call for nominations, the 2009 ACM SIGCOMM Rising Star Award has been awarded to: Ratul Mahajan (Microsoft Research, USA)

The award will be presented by at the annual ACM CoNEXT conference, where the award-winner will deliver a keynote address with the title: How to build research network systems in your spare time.
