SIGACT Research Highlights Committee

The goal of the SIGACT Research Highlights Committee is to help promote top computer science theory research via identifying results that are of high quality and broad appeal to the general computer science audience. These results would then be recommended for consideration for the CACM Research Highlights section as well as other general-audience computer science research outlets.

Nomination and Selection Process

The committee solicits two types of nominations:

1. Conference nominations. Each year, the committee will ask the PC chairs of theoretical computer science conferences to send a selection of up to three top papers from these conferences (selected based on both their technical merit and breadth of interest to a non-theory audience) and forward them to the committee for consideration.

2. Community nominations. The committee will accept nominations from the members of the community. Each such nomination should summarize the contribution of the nominated paper and also argue why this paper is of broad interest. The nomination should be no more than a page in length and can be submitted by emailing it to sigact.highlights.2024@gmail.com. Self-nominations are not allowed. Please submit by November 1st, 2024.
