Awards

The following two best paper awards will be given:

the Communication Systems Best Paper Award.

You will also be asked during paper submission for the type of presentation you prefer and if you want to be considered for the student paper award.

Students are encouraged to submit papers for oral or poster presentation. The best paper presentation will be awarded with "best student paper presentation" prize at the closing of the conference. A student paper presents results of a student's PhD, master or undergraduate thesis work. In order to be eligible as a student paper, the first author has to be a student (or more than one student in case of joint work) and the second author the advisor.
