A number of major research conferences offer “Test of Time” awards — typically conferred on the paper presented ten years previously that, in retrospect, has had the greatest impact.
UW CSE’s Magda Balazinska has probably set the record for “youngest person to receive a ‘Test of Time’ award.” Her paper “Advanced Clone-Analysis to Support Object-Oriented System Refactoring,” presented at the 2000 Working Conference on Reverse Engineering, will be recognized at the 2010 WCRE conference in October.
Congratulations Magda!
