INTERNAL GRANT FOR ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES FINAL REPORT Project Title The First Computer Science Student Workshop (CSW’10) Name of the PI Esra Erdem Cooperating Programs on Project Other Personnel Cooperating on Project Amount of Funds Granted 5000 TL The Computer Science Student Workshop (CSW) series is initiated by Esra Erdem (Sabancı University) and Metin Sezgin (Koç University) to bring Computer Science and Engineering graduate students at Sabancı University, Koç University, and other universities in Istanbul in a semiformal workshop atmosphere. This workshop exposes the graduate students to the concepts of academic writing, peer review, research presentation, critical thinking as well as academic way of thinking in general. The students also establish connections in this semiformal environment via meeting each other, sharing ideas, and getting feedback on their work. The ultimate goal of this workshop series is to form a network of young researchers who will support each other and establish a core group of senior graduate student leaders, who will serve as mentors and role models for the coming generation. Therefore, the workshop is organized by graduate students and for graduate students: all organizing committee members and program committee members (including chairs) are students, and the submission is open to student papers only. Principal results (not more than 2 pages) The First Computer Science Student Workshop (CSW’10) took place at the İstinye Campus of Koç University, Istanbul, on February 21, 2010. It was sponsored by Sabancı University and Koç University. It was organized by 30 graduate students from various universities in Istanbul: 4 out of 8 Organizing Committee members and 7 out of 30 Program Committee members were SU graduate students. CSW'10 received 50 paper submissions. Each paper was reviewed by at least 3 referees. Out of 50 submissions, 16 of them were accepted for oral presentation, and 15 of them were accepted for poster presentation. There were 17 submissions from Sabancı University; 5 papers were accepted for oral presentation and 6 papers were accepted for poster presentation. The proceedings of the workshop (including only the accepted papers with publication-permissions) is nicely prepared as an e-book by Information Center, and can be found in the collections of Information Center and in Research Database: Örencik, Cengiz and Yatbaz, Mehmet Ali and Eren, Tolga Mustafa and Elmas, Tayfun and Meriçli, Tekin, eds. (2010) Proceedings of the 1st Computer Science Student Workshop: Koc University Istinye Campus, Istanbul, Turkey, February 21, 2010. Sabancı University, Istanbul, Turkey. More than 60 graduate/undergraduate students from all over Istanbul attended CSW'10; more than 20 of these participants were from Sabanci University. The workshop consisted of 4 sessions of oral presentations and 3 poster sessions. The oral presentation sessions were categorized into three main groups; namely "Artificial Intelligence", "Network and Security", and "Bioinformatics, Data Mining, and Computer Architecture". The presented papers covered a wide range of Computer Science research, from Music-Driven Choreography Synthesis to Analysis of Protein Interfaces. The workshop committee gave 11 awards to some students for their exceptional work, under the following categories: "Best Tool Paper", "Best Research Paper", "Best Work-in-Progress Paper", "Best Poster", "Best Presentation", and "Best Reviewer”. Here are the SU Awardees: Best Research Paper Award Murat Ergun, Albert Levi and Erkay Savas A Resilient Key Management Scheme for Multi-Phase Wireless Sensor Networks Best Tool Paper Award Can Yildizli Advances in malware development: Using Emulators’ Weaknesses and Cryptography Best Work-in Progress Paper Kaan C. Fidan, Ihsan Kehribar, M. Tugce Sahin, Serhan Cosar and Devrim Unay Air drums: A computer vision based drum simulator Best Reviewer Award Halit Erdogan For more details about the workshop, please visit the CSW'10 website at http://csw.sabanciuniv.edu .
