Winners of CLTM 2010

We are pleased to announce the three winning Master's Thesis at Concurso Latinoamericano de Tesis de Maestra (CLTM). The work was very difficult due to large number of dissertations of very good academic quality that were sent, and their thematic variety that make more difficult the comparison between works in different areas of knowledge. It is the desire of the Evaluator Committee that all students, regardless of having received the award, continue doing good work and have the best of success in their academic or professional career.

The three winning Masters Thesis are:

FIRST PRIZE: Gustavo Soares (Federal University of Campina Grande, Brazil) "Making program refactoring safer"

SECOND PRIZE: Aldo Rene Zang (IMPA, Brazil) "Esquema Híbrido para Amostragem de Mapas de Iluminação em Renderizações Foto-realistas"

THIRD PRIZE: Facundo Dominguez (Universidad de la Republica, Uruguay) "A fusion tool based on Acid Rain plus extensions"
