Student Volunteer Program

Student Volunteer Program

The Student Volunteer program is a great opportunity for students interested in topics of advanced modularity and Aspect-Oriented Software Development (AOSD) to stay tuned on the cutting edge scientific and technical advances in this area. This is also an opportunity for the interested grad and undergrad students to engage with their peers: both students and senior researchers and practitioners. As ever, the AOSD 2013 Student Volunteer program will strive to provide an active and interactive environment for the students to benefit from the research program of the conference, as well as to develop their professional network and enjoy the social events.

  • The AOSD 2013 Student Volunteer program will provide 10 dedicated spots for graduate students.
  • The applications will be prioritized based on the relevance of the student work to AOSD, the potential extension of the AOSD community via integration of related work from new/underrepresented research groups, and the circumstances of individual students.
