ACM SIGBED SRC is the main student research competition in the real-time, embedded, and cyber-physical systems community. There are two categories: Undergraduate and Graduate. The champions will represent SIGBED and compete against other SIGs in the ACM Grand Finals.

There are two rounds for the SIGBED SRC. In the first round, a participant submits a 2-page extended abstract describing his/her original work to be reviewed, which may or may not have been published. For the undergraduate category, the participant does not have to be the main contributor of the work, but his/her portion needs to be clearly stated. A participant accepted to the second round will make a live presentation in ESWEEK 2026.

Travel grant will be supported to attend ESWEEK 2026.

For each category, three overall winners will be recognized. Champions, first runners-up and second runners-up will receive USD $500, $300 and $200, respectively.

Submission for the first round is already open (https://sigbed26src.hotcrp.com) and will be closed on 31 July.

Questions should be directed to Prof. Wanli Chang (wanli.chang.rts@gmail.com) and Zhishan Guo (zguo32@ncsu.edu).
