Purpose
The purpose of this award is to encourage research in the science
of software/system engineering or the application of that science for
safety and/or mission critical software-intensive systems.
The Award
The award is an annual individual award consisting of up to $5000

- The award is open to all Australian citizens undertaking
research at an Australian university as a student (undergraduate or
postgraduate). Applicants must be less than 30 years old. Only one
application may be submitted in any given year.
- The term
"research" means discovery of new knowledge in the context of
software/system engineering related to safety and/or mission critical
software-intensive systems (this term includes programmable devices,
firmware etc). Work that demonstrates the pioneering practical
application of the science of software/system engineering shall also be
deemed to be research for this award.

- Only the documents supplied as part of the

the aSCSa Committee). All applicants and their research supervisors
shall agree to accept as final the decision of the aSCSa Awards
Committee as to whether or not the cited research is deemed relevant,
whether or not an award is made, and that no correspondence shall be
entered into. Applicants also shall agree that the aSCSa may make
inquiries of their University regarding the research project.
- The
aSCSa Awards Committee reserves the right not to make an award, or to
award joint prizes if the standard of nominations makes it appropriate
to do so.

eligible for this award. Where a member of the aSCSa Awards Committee
has some association with an applicant for the award, that member shall
stand down from the aSCSa Awards Committee and play no part in the

will not be accepted.

publish an abstract of the research for which the prize is awarded.
