[SEWORLD] SIGSOFT Nominee for 2010 ACM-W Athena Lecturer

The ACM SIGSOFT Executive Committee welcomes advice regarding nominations for the 2010 ACM-W Athena Lectureship. To quote from the ACM-W webpages, "Athena Lectures celebrate outstanding women researchers who have made fundamental research contributions to computer science." Athena Lecturers give an invited talk at an ACM conference determined by the speaker and the nominating SIG. The award includes travel expenses to that conference and a $10,000 honorarium. Financial support for the 2010 Athena Lecturers is being provided by Google, Inc. Nominations must come from a SIG officer, but input from the SIGSOFT community would be greatly appreciated. Input can be as simple as the name of a potential nominee and a succinct description of her research contributions. (A polished letter of recommendation is not required!) Deadline: If you have suggestions for SIGSOFT nominees for this award, please send email to Joanne Atlee (jmatlee@uwaterloo.ca) by December 15, 2009. To contribute to SEWORLD, send your submission to mailto:seworld@sigsoft.org http://www.sigsoft.org/seworld provides more information on SEWORLD as well as a complete archive of messages posted to the list.
