MODELS 2025 will host an ACM Student Research Competition (SRC). The ACM SRC is a forum for undergraduate and graduate students to present their original research, exchange ideas, and improve their communication skills while competing for prizes at MODELS 2025. The Student Research Competition has the following goals (for general information on the ACM SRC see https://src.acm.org/):

To give undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to share their research ideas and results at MODELS in a special forum that provides visibility for their work.
To give students the opportunity to meet with and interact with MODELS attendees to share ideas, gain new insights, and understand possible practical applications.
To give students an opportunity to sharpen their communication skills, including visual, organizational, oral, and aural modalities.
To provide detailed feedback to students about their research and presentation, from a panel of distinguished judges.
To recognize and reward outstanding student research.

There are related opportunities for students attending MODELS 2025, which could be combined well with participation in the ACM SRC:

The Doctoral Symposium is an opportunity for PhD students to present their research plan and get feedback from experts in the field.
The Student Volunteer route is an opportunity for students to get involved in MODELS behind the scenes, helping to ensure the conference runs efficiently. It’s also a great way of making new friends.

Submission Guidelines

To participate in the competition, students should submit electronically an extended abstract through the ACM SRC@MODELS 2025 submission web page. - Submissions should be related to the MODELS main topics of interest (see the call for conference papers for a list of the conference topics). - The submissions should describe: research problem and motivation, background and related work, approach and uniqueness, results, and contributions. - Abstracts should not exceed 4 pages, including all figures, tables, appendices, etc. - All submissions must be in PDF. - Formatting instructions are available at https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template for both LaTeX and Word users. LaTeX users must use the provided acmart.cls and ACM-Reference-Format.bst without modification, enable the conference format in the preamble of the document (i.e., \documentclass[sigconf,review]{acmart}), and use the ACM reference format for the bibliography (i.e., \bibliographystyle{ACM-Reference-Format}). The review option adds line numbers, thereby allowing referees to refer to specific lines in their comments. - The review process will be single-blind. Thus, the authors must indicate their name and affiliation in their submissions. - By submitting to the MODELS ACM SRC, authors acknowledge that they are aware of and agree to be bound by the ACM Policy and Procedures on Plagiarism. In particular, papers submitted to the MODELS 2025 ACM SRC must not have been published elsewhere and must not be under review or submitted for review elsewhere while under consideration for MODELS 2025 ACM SRC. - By submitting your article to an ACM Publication, you are acknowledging that you are subject to all ACM Publications Policies, including ACM’s new Publications Policy on Research Involving Human Participants and Subjects. Alleged violations of this policy or any ACM Publications Policy will be investigated by ACM and may result in a full retraction of your paper, in addition to other potential penalties, as per ACM Publications Policy. - Please ensure that you obtain an ORCID ID, so you can complete the publishing process for your accepted paper. ACM has been involved in ORCID from the start and has recently made a commitment to collect ORCID IDs from all published authors. ACM are committed to improve author discoverability, ensure proper attribution and contribute to ongoing community efforts around name normalization; your ORCID ID will help in these efforts. Submissions that do not adhere to these topics and limits, or that violate the formatting guidelines will be desk-rejected without review. A panel of experts will review the submissions and select the students to participate in the first round of the competition (Poster Round), which will be held at MODELS 2025. Submissions that are accepted to the competition will be published in the MODELS companion proceedings.
