BEST STUDENT PAPER AWARD CONTEST

Papers authored by students are eligible for the SPI Best Student Paper Award, provided that the student is both the first author and the presenter at the conference. To qualify for the award, kindly provide along with your submission a nomination letter (only PDF files are accepted) written by the student's supervisor and certifying that the paper is primarily the work of the student.

Accepted papers will be reproduced in the Workshop proceedings and will appear in IEEE Xplore (instructions on preparation of IEEE Xplore compliant papers will be provided to Authors upon acceptance). A full registration will be required for each accepted paper to be published. A regularly registered Author will be allowed to present up to two papers at the conference.
