Abstract This grant funds a programming contest for students in the Database Management Systems (DBMS) area at the ACM SIGMOD 2010 conference. Student teams from degree-granting institutions will compete in a programming task building a query executor on top of an existing main memory index implementation. The goals of the contest are to: a) Stimulate student interest in the DBMS field; b) Present a research challenge; c) Foster the creation of sharable open source code modules; d) Foster Computer Science education by creating a forum in which students can excel; ande) Present a forum in which excellent students can get noticed, other than by writing papers. A prize of $5,000, donated by a Microsoft, Inc., will be awarded to the winning team. The NSF grant is used to provide equipment for the contest and travel support for the contestants. The winning system will be made available to the public under the MIT open source code license.

摘要这笔资金用于在ACM SIGMOD 2010会议上为数据库管理系统(DBMS)领域的学生举办编程竞赛。来自学位授予机构的学生团队将竞争一项编程任务，在现有的主内存索引实现的基础上构建查询执行器。大赛的目标是：a)激发学生对数据库管理系统领域的兴趣；b)提出研究挑战；c)促进可共享的开放源码模块的创建；d)通过创建一个学生可以出类拔萃的论坛来促进计算机科学教育；以及)提供一个论坛，在这个论坛上优秀的学生可以被注意到，而不是通过写论文。由微软公司捐赠的5000美元奖金将颁发给获胜的团队。国家科学基金会的拨款用于为比赛提供器材和为参赛者提供旅行支持。获胜的系统将根据麻省理工学院的开放源代码许可证向公众开放。
