The 2019 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
Gödel 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:

The 2018 Alonzo Church Award was given jointly to Tomás Feder and Moshe
Y. Vardi for their fundamental contributions to the computational
complexity of constraint-satisfaction problems, see:
http://siglog.org/winners-of-the-2018-alonzo-church-award/. Previous
awardees are listed at https://www.eatcs.org/index.php/church-award.
Eligibility and Nominations
The contribution must have appeared in a paper or papers published
within the past 25 years. Thus, for the 2019 award, the cut-off date is
January 1, 1994. 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 Gödel 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 2019 award are now being solicited. The nominating
letter must summarize 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 shankar at csl.sri.com by March 1, 2019.
Presentation of the Award
The 2019 award will be presented at ICALP 2019, 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 2019 Alonzo Church Award Committee consists of the following five
members: Radha Jagadeesan, Thomas Eiter, Javier Esparza, Natarajan
Shankar (chair), and Catuscia Palamidessi.
