The 2018 CPHC/BCS Distinguished Dissertations competition is now open for submissions https://www.bcs.org/category/5820

 The competition aims to make more visible the significant contribution made by the UK – in particular by postgraduate students – to computer science. Any dissertation is eligible that is submitted for a doctorate in the British Isles in what is commonly understood as computer science.

To be considered, a dissertation should:

• make a noteworthy contribution to the subject;
• reach a high standard of exposition;
• place its results clearly in the context of computer science as a whole; and
• enable a computer scientist with significantly different interests to grasp its essentials.

The closing date for submissions is Sunday 1 April 2018.  Further details can be found on the web at: https://www.bcs.org/category/5820 and information on the rules of submission may be found at: http://www.bcs.org/content/ConWebDoc/57887
