An ACM Award for our postgraduate student

["K. Pawlikowski" <krys@cosc.canterbury.ac.nz>]

Aun Haider, a Ph.D. student of ECE and COSC, has received an ACM Travel 
Award to attend a prestigious ACM SIGCOMM 2002 Conference, the annual 
conference of the Special Interest Group on Data Communication, to be 
held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,  between 19 and 23 August 2002.

This is the second time such an award is received by our postgraduate 
student (Carl Cook, a Ph.D. student of COSC, attended ACM SIGCOMM 2001 
Conference in San Diego, in August 2001).

ACM SIGCOMM is the annual conference of the Special Interest Group on 
Data Communication (SIGCOMM), a vital special interest group of the 
ACM). This is a single-track, highly selective conference on networking 
at which successful submissions (11.3% of all submitted papers in 2001)
typically report results firmly substantiated by experiment, 
implementation, simulation, or mathematical analysis. The technical 
program includes panel discussions of world-wide known experts on 
networking. The participants are also offered tutorials and workshops by 
noted instructors on the two days preceding the actual conference.


Aun, congratulations  !
