Starting Comments
Many groups talked about competitions. The committee thought that it was important that the competition by decided by an objective measure, not a beauty contest that could leave many irritated. The Architecture community, for example, recently had a branch prediction competition decided by testing branch predictors on traces not provided while competitors were developing their entries.
SIGKDD
- We introduced KDD Cup whose goal was to provide competition which would practically evaluate many approaches to the same problem.
DAC
- DAC has a student design contest, with the best submissions going to the technical program.
SIGecom
- The annual Trading Agent Competition is an open-invitation international event in which researchers test ideas about trading strategy in several market games. This typically includes a final tournament held in conjunction with a technical conference (ACM EC-01, AAMAS-04, AAMAS-06, other non-ACM conferences). This provides an intensive interchange among the participants, and general awareness/exposure among the broader technical community. EC-06 is hosting a related competition, on bidding in sponsored search keyword auctions.
