Congratulations to Sylvia!

Each year, ACM SIGCOMM presents a "Rising Star" Award, recognizing a young researcher – an individual no older than 35 – who has made outstanding research contributions to the field of communication networks during this early part of his or her career. Depth, impact, and novelty of the researcher's contributions will be key criteria upon which the Rising Star award committee evaluate the nominees. Also of particular interest are strong research contributions made independently from the nominee's PhD advisor.

The award to Sylvia Ratnasamy is in recognition of outstanding research contributions, early in her career, in content addressable networks, peer-to-peer and overlay networks, and the realization of practical software routers.
