Now, if you are active on social media platforms and developer forums you might have come across Twitter polls and endless discussions on platforms like Reddit, StackOverflow, and others. No conference is complete without a little friendly competition.Developers have long debated what is the best operating system. The working group write-ups are slated for publication in one or both of ACM SIGMOBILE’s GetMobile or SIGCOMM’s Computing Communications Review.
On Day 2 of the summit, the groups met-each facilitated by a senior researcher-and later in the day, presented their thinking to the other attendees for feedback and discussion. Student participants were given five working groups to choose from in advance of the event: One of the features of the summit was an exercise in which working groups met in break-out sessions to direct their brain power at some real-world areas of research that challenge the industry. Deepak Bansal, Partner Software Engineering Manager: Engineering SDN for Scale.Sriram Rao, Partner Scientist Manager, Cloud and Information Services Lab, Cloud and Enterprise: Building a Datacenter Scale Analytics Platform.Abolade Gbadegesin, Partner Software Engineer, Operating Systems Group: Continuum: evolving the mobile experience.Vijay Narayanan, Partner Director of Software Engineering, Machine Learning & Data Science, Cloud and Enterprise: The Intelligent Cloud.Johannes Gehrke, Distinguished Engineer, Applications and Services Group: Big Data Challenges in a Product Group.To learn more about their perspective, take a look at the presentations: Senior engineering leaders from Microsoft gave talks about the systems problems they’re working on, hoping to give students a sense of the industry challenges and opportunities they’re facing. Student research, delivered as a combination of short talks and poster presentations, made up a significant portion of the summit.

Bringing together top-notch computer science PhD student researchers who are about to embark on their careers with researchers and engineers who have proven research and technology impact, clearly seemed the right thing to do. Not only does research require constant exposure to new thinking, but researchers themselves thrive when they’re surrounded by fresh ideas and perspectives. The best technologies, which require years of research and development, often start with ideas that were the result of great minds coming together. The motivation for the summit was simple: Give brilliant students and senior Microsoft researchers an opportunity to spark. Fourth- and fifth-year grad students were nominated by their advisors to participate in the event, held in Petaluma, CA. In a two-day summit in February that was as much mind meld as conference, 45 PhD candidates from the top computer science departments in the United States met with a group of Microsoft researchers and engineers for the Student Summit on Mobility, Systems, and Networking.
