The second edition of the Student Contest on Software Engineering (SCORE) will be part of the 33rd International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE 2011).SCORE is a worldwide competition for undergraduate and master's level students. It emphasizes the engineering aspects of software development, not limited to programming. Student teams participating in the contest are able to choose from a number of project topics proposed by the SCORE Program Committee, which cover diverse application fields and types. To take part in the competition, teams must register and follow the contest rules as outlined on the website. Teams submit full software products, covering the whole software development process. After a careful evaluation carried out by the SCORE Program Committee, several finalist teams will be invited to ICSE 2011 in Honolulu to present their projects and receive their awards at the conference.   Project topics:A variety of project topics are proposed by the SCORE Program Committee and made available on the SCORE website.   These cover diverse application fields and types. Each project topic has one or more reference persons in the SCORE Program Committee, to whom questions regarding the desired outcome of the project can be addressed. The project topic also specifies the type and amount of interaction scheduled by the reference person. For example, one project might have well-defined requirements and limit interaction with the reference person(s) to occasional email, while another topic might have (deliberately) fuzzy requirements and require a greater degree of interaction in which the reference person acts as the "customer" or "client".     Team composition:Participating teams must be composed exclusively of students, either at the undergraduate or at the master’s level (PhD students are not allowed to participate). Every team must have no less than 2 and no more than 7 members; however, teams are strongly advised to have no more than 5 members. Teams may be formed and projects may be developed as part of a software engineering course. Also, they can be composed of students from different institutions. Every team must designate a contact person, to whom communications and enquiries will be addressed. This contact person must be a member of the team, or a faculty member supervising the students (for example if the project is carried out in the context of a software engineering course). However, the faculty member may not actively participate in the development of the project with the supervised team.     Submission and evaluation of deliverables: Summary reportTo take part in the SCORE contest, teams have to submit, before the 15 January 2011 deadline, a document of approximately 20 pages. The report should describe the various artifacts produced during the development, according to the requests formulated in the project description. These guidelines for preparing a SCORE project report may be helpful, along with the project reports of finalist teams of the 2009 edition of SCORE that are online on the SCORE project repository. Each submitted report will be evaluated by at least 2 members of the SCORE Program Committee. Evaluation will be based on standard quality criteria for software development, which will be detailed in later announcements.     For more details, visit the website and contact at the given email-id with subject line as "Information about SCORE Contest, found this opportunity on Let Me Know"
