Dear colleagues,
This is the final reminder for the INFORMS Aviation Applications Section (AAS) Best Student Presentation Competition at the 2016 INFORMS Annual Meeting. AAS is sponsoring this competition for undergraduate and graduate students who are members of the INFORMS Aviation Applications Section. A certificate of recognition and a cash prize will be awarded.
To enter the competition, the following criteria must be satisfied:
- The presenter must be an undergraduate or graduate student at the time of abstract submission deadline (i.e. on May 15th, 2016) and the presentation must be based on the research conducted while he/she was a student.
- The presenter must be a member of AAS for the year 2016.
- The presenter must submit an abstract (with 150 words or less) for presentation by email to Lavanya Marla at lavanyam@illinois.edu by 5 pm EDT on Sunday, May 15th 2016.
- Additionally, the presenter must provide an extended abstract (up to 2 pages in length) as per the Extended Abstract Template provided on the AAS website (www.informs.org/content/download/287290/2749589/file/...) by Friday, September 16th, 2016 (the deadline for presenters to register for the conference). The extended abstracts should be emailed to Lavanya Marla at lavanyam@illinois.edu 5 p.m. EDT on Friday, September 16th, 2016.
- Each presenter is allowed to submit at most one abstract for the competition.
The winner will be chosen based on both the quality of the presentation itself and the extended abstract. We look forward to an exciting set of submissions this year!
Best regards,
Lavanya Marla.
