Each year, CORE awards two student prizes. The first is awarded to the best PhD thesis in Computer Science in Australia and New Zealand. The best thesis is selected by a committee that has formerly been chaired by Norman Foo, and for the last few years by John Gough. From 2003 the committee is chaired by Michael Johnson. The second prize is awarded to the author of the best student paper at the ACSC. This prize is decided by the ACSC Program Committee.
In 2004 CORE introduced two new awards, one for Best Research Contribution
by a non-professorial academic and one for Distinguished Service to the
discipline. The winner of the inaugural Best Research Contribution award
was Dr Huaxiong Wang , Macquarie University. The inaugural
Distinguished Service Award was presented to Gopal Gupta of Monash University.
At the presentation of this award the announcement was made that the Best
Research Contribution award would be renamed in memory of the late Dr. Chris
