The 2018 Alonzo Church Award for Outstanding Contributions to Logic and
Computation
Call for Nominations
Introduction
An annual award, called the Alonzo Church Award for Outstanding
Contributions to Logic and Computation, was established in 2015 by the ACM
Special Interest Group for Logic and Computation (SIGLOG), the European
Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS), the European
Association for Computer Science Logic (EACSL), and the Kurt G??del
Society (KGS). The award is for an outstanding contribution represented by
a paper or by a small group of papers published within the past 25 years.
This time span allows the lasting impact and depth of the contribution to
have been established. The award can be given to an individual, or to a
group of individuals who have collaborated on the research. For the rules
governing this award, see:
http://siglog.org/awards/alonzo-church-award/
The 2017 Alonzo Church Award was given jointly to Samson Abramsky, Radha
Jagadeesan, Pasquale Malacaria, Martin Hyland, Luke Ong, and Hanno Nickau
for providing a fully-abstract semantics for higher-order computation
through the introduction of game models, see:

Eligibility and Nominations
The contribution must have appeared in a paper or papers published within
the past 25 years. Thus, for the 2018 award, the cut-off date is January
1, 1993. When a paper has appeared in a conference and then in a journal,
the date of the journal publication will determine the cut-off date. In
addition, the contribution must not yet have received recognition via a
major award, such as the Turing Award, the Kanellakis Award, or the G??del
Prize. (The nominee(s) may have received such awards for other
contributions.) While the contribution can consist of conference or
journal papers, journal papers will be given a preference.
Nominations for the 2018 award are now being solicited. The nominating
letter must summarise the contribution and make the case that it is
fundamental and outstanding. The nominating letter can have multiple
co-signers. Self- nominations are excluded. Nominations must include: a
proposed citation (up to 25 words); a succinct (100-250 words) description
of the contribution; and a detailed statement (not exceeding four pages)
to justify the nomination. Nominations may also be accompanied by
supporting letters and other evidence of worthiness.
Nominations should be submitted to
catuscia@lix.polytechnique.fr
by March 1, 2018.
Presentation of the Award
The 2018 award will be presented at ICALP 2018, the International Colloquium
on Automata, Languages and Programming. The award will be accompanied by an
invited lecture by the award winner, or by one of the award winners. The
awardee(s) will receive a certificate and a cash prize of USD 2,000. If there
are multiple awardees, this amount will be shared.
Award Committee
The 2018 Alonzo Church Award Committee consists of the following five members:
Thomas Eiter, Javier Esparza, Catuscia Palamidessi (chair), Gordon Plotkin, and
Natarajan Shankar.
