William C. Carter Award

The William C. Carter Award has been presented annually since 1997, and was established by the IEEE Technical Committee on Fault-Tolerant Computing (TC-FTC) together with the IFIP Working Group on Dependable Computing and Fault Tolerance (WG 10.4). The award is intended to honor and carry on Dr. Carter´s legacy by recognizing an outstanding paper based on a graduate dissertation. To qualify, a paper based on a student´s dissertation must have been submitted as a regular paper to the DCC Symposium within DSN, with the student as the first author. Both current graduate students and former graduate students, no more than two years past the completion of their dissertation, are eligible. All Carter Award submissions accepted as regular DCCS papers were evaluated by the DSN Steering Committee. The winner of the 2006 William C. Carter Award is Jonathan Chang of Princeton University for the paper entitled Automatic Instruction-Level Software-Only Recovery Methods by Jonathan Chang, George Reis, and David August.
