To recognize
excellence in a conference paper whose primary contributor is a Student Member
of the IEEE, the Best Student Paper Award is granted separately for each of the
three conferences. The unique eligibility criterion for the award is that the
primary contributor of a paper was a student at the time of original submission.
The basis for judging candidate papers is originality, clarity, and potential
impact on practical applications of control.
Prize
The winners
receive a certificate laminated on a plaque and travel expenses to the 2006 CCA/CACSD/ISIC,
round trip restricted (minimal) coach air fare, conference registration, and
three hotel nights. Up to five finalists will be selected for each conference.
All finalists receive certificates. The presentation of the awards will take
place at the 2006 CCA/CACSD/ISIC Conference Banquet on Thursday, October 5.
Funding
2006 CCA -
two prizes
jointly funded by the IEEE Control Systems Society and The Mathworks.
2006 ISIC -
funded by the
