Best Paper Awards
Best Paper and Best Student Paper awards will be given to recognize the best technical contributions of the event in terms of originality, clarity, and potential impact. To be eligible for the Best Student Paper award, the primary author of the paper and contributor of the work must have been a student(s) at the time the work was done.
Best Industry Paper award will be given to recognize the best technical contributions in an industry driven research in terms of originality, clarity, and potential impact. To be eligible for the Best Industry Paper award, the primary author of the paper and contributor of the work must have been a full-time industry employee (not a student intern) at the time the work was done.
Paper Submission Instructions
Submissions are made via EasyChair and must be in the double column standard ACM format for conference proceedings.
