To apply, students should submit:

• - a one-page abstract describing their current research interests, and
• - a resume,

and specify in the request for which one of the two events they apply, or whether they are interested
to the combined registration to both events.

Only full-time students can apply, and they will have to show a valid student Id at the Symposium.

The submission should be sent by e-mail, preferably in plain text, specifying "Application to MS grant"
in the subject field, to both:

• - Antonia Bertolino, ISSTA2002 chair, bertolino@iei.pi.cnr.it, and
• - Paola Inverardi, WOSP2002 chair, inverard@univaq.it

The submission must be received by May 20th, 2002.

Moreover, a separate e-mail message supporting the application should be sent by the student's
advisor or the department chair to the above addresses.

A committee formed by the two Chairs and by a representative of Microsoft will make the
selection, based on:

• Relevance of the research interests to the technical content of the events
• The scientific merits of the candidates as evidenced by the sent resume

The selected students will receive a free student registration for participation to either or both
events.

The notification will be sent by June 10th, 2002.
