Paper Award Selection

We will recognize outstanding contributions with the following awards: Best Student Paper Award and Best Paper Award. This ensures a diverse distribution of recognitions and encourages the submission of a variety of high-quality papers.

  • Best Student Paper Award: Only papers with a student as the first author are eligible for this award. The student must be enrolled in an academic institution at the time of submission. Co-authors can include faculty members and other researchers, but the primary contribution should come from the student.
  • Best Paper Award: All submitted papers to the conference are eligible for this award. This includes papers authored by professionals, researchers, faculty members, industry practitioners, and students.

We will primarily rely on the review reports for the award selection. As a supplemental channel, we also accept nominations for the awards. The Award Committee will generate a shortlist by selecting the top papers in each category. More details will be outlined later.
