Even when their group had no more funds for fresh interns, they extended my stay by paying
me out of their own pockets! That stay led to the work described in the last chapter of my thesis,
without which I doubt my thesis would have been chosen for this award. I just hope I can
emulate them and contribute enough to this community in the years to come.
Prof Narendra Ahuja, Chairperson of the Jury, ACM-India Best Doctoral Dissertation
Award, said, All theses were reviewed by people who were on the cutting edge of research in
the area that the thesis contributed. Theses were collected from the reviewers and a complied
report was sent to us. We again did a cross research on all theses, trying to overcome the
differences between different areas. Theses were judged based upon the quality of contribution,
quality of presentation and potential impact on the field, which are the basic factors considered
while reviewing any technical paper. We were also looking for not only the best thesis but a
thesis that was above certain qualified thresholds and was a world class contribution. We found
that Ramprasads thesis passed all these standards, it was of high quality and was the best
among all theses.
