This proposed project is to support the third annual programming contest to be held at SIGMOD 2011 conference in Greece. The funding is to sponsor travel for the contest participants to the conference and staffing for running the contest at MIT. The contest is open to graduate and undergraduate teams from degree-granting institutions. This year's contest task is to build a system that stores (key, value) pairs sorted in key order, durably on a Flash disk. As with previous years, 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 where students can excel, and (e) present a forum where excellent students can get noticed without writing papers. This contest will stimulate the database community to develop robust open source implementations of challenging research software. Such implementations have intellectual merit in that they provide a base upon which other researchers can build tools and students can learn how others have architected large data management systems. The contest will attract young, eager, students with enthusiasm for building real systems to the database community. It will emphasize that the community values real implementations in addition to academic papers, and will potentially lead to open source software that will be used by researchers outside of the community. To promote participation from under-represented groups, participants from such groups will be especially encouraged.

拟议项目将支持在希腊SIGMOD 2011年会议期间举行的第三次年度方案编制竞赛。资金是赞助旅行的比赛参与者的会议和工作人员运行的比赛在麻省理工学院。比赛对来自学位授予机构的研究生和本科生团队开放。今年的竞赛任务是建立一个系统，将（键，值）对按键顺序排序，持久地存储在闪存盘上。与往年一样，竞赛的目标是：（a）激发学生对DBMS领域的兴趣，（B）提出研究挑战，（c）促进创建可共享的开源代码模块，（d）通过创建一个学生可以脱颖而出的论坛来促进计算机科学教育，以及（e）提供一个论坛，优秀的学生可以在不写论文的情况下得到关注。该竞赛将激励数据库社区为具有挑战性的研究软件开发强大的开源实现。这样的实现具有智力价值，因为它们提供了一个基础，其他研究人员可以在此基础上构建工具，学生可以学习其他人如何构建大型数据管理系统。竞赛将吸引年轻的、渴望的、对构建真实的系统充满热情的学生加入数据库社区。它将强调社区除了学术论文之外还重视真实的实现，并可能导致社区以外的研究人员使用的开源软件。为了促进代表性不足的群体的参与，将特别鼓励这些群体的与会者。
