SIGCSE
2004
The
35th ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education
http://www.csc.villanova.edu/sigcse2004
Everyone interested in computer science education is invited to contribute to SIGCSE 2004. The symposium will follow SIGCSE tradition, providing a diverse selection of technical sessions and opportunities for learning and interaction. This symposium addresses problems common among educators working to develop, implement and/or evaluate computing programs, curricula, and courses, as well as syllabi, laboratories, and other elements of teaching and pedagogy, at all levels of instruction. Please consider submitting a proposal in one of the categories described below. Refer to the conference web site for specific submission details.
Norfolk is located in the mid-Atlantic region, with the beaches of the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean just minutes away. It is an old seaport city rich in history, boasting a pedestrian friendly downtown and waterfront. The Convention Center and hotels are all within walking distance of the waterfront and many fine restaurants.

Papers describe a classroom experience, teaching technique, curricular initiative, or educational research project. Papers will undergo a double-blind reviewing process. Submissions must be anonymous and have no references to the authors or institutions. Papers must not exceed 5 pages. Authors will have approximately thirty minutes for their presentation.
Panels present multiple perspectives on a specific topic. Panel submissions may not exceed two pages and should list panelists and include a description of the topic with brief position statements from panelists. A maximum of 4 participants, including moderator, may be included. Panel abstracts must not exceed 2 pages. Each panel will have approximately 90 minutes for presentation/discussion.
Special Sessions provide a flexible format for the presentation or discussion of material. Possible special sessions include tutorials, debates, or committee reports. Special session abstracts must not exceed 2 pages. Each special session will have approximately 90 minutes for presentation.
Workshops provide introductory and advanced topics to help make participants more effective teachers. Workshops are scheduled for a ½ day session (approximately 3 hours), offered separately from the technical track session times.
Birds of a Feather Sessions
provide an environment for colleagues with similar interests to meet for
informal discussions. A one page
abstract is requested to describe the informal discussion topic. Approximately 45 minutes is allocated to each
BOF topic.
Faculty Posters describe teaching materials, educational research, or works in progress. Proposals are limited to two pages. Poster demonstrations are scheduled to permit one-on-one discussion with conference attendees, typically during session breaks. Handouts are encouraged to share your work.
ACM International Student Research Contest, a joint ACM and SIGCSE activity, invites student researchers to submit an overview of their current research activity. Both undergraduate and graduate categories require a two page extended abstract. Students present research results in a poster competition, and finalists are selected for a formal presentation. Both presentations occur during the SIGCSE Symposium.
