One of the initiatives of the Tomsk Student Branch is the annual All-Russia Student Paper Contest and Conference on Information Security, which was successfully held for the fourth time in April 2004. This Contest was the first event in the Siberia Section with technical support from the Communications Society. SIBINFO was also supported by the YP Group and the IEEE Foundation.

The two phases of the Contest - paper and oral final - attracted many Russian participants, who discovered IEEE and its benefits. More than 50 papers from 20 universities were accepted during the first stage.

The participants did a lot of work of their computer presentations with amazing software demonstration. Sometimes the participants were so involved in discussion that they forgot about time. All papers were accompanied by elaborate discussions by the participants. Every finalists in the contest was awarded.

Another interesting result of the contest was the establishment of some close contacts between colleagues working in the field of information security.

The contest has become something of a tradition. More information about SIBINFO and another events. We look forward to meeting you at SIBINFO-2005!
