The Communications Society William R. Bennett Prize in the Field of Communications Networking

Given annually to the best original paper published in the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking in the past year

Prize
Plaque and honorarium up to $500 for each author (total awards not to exceed $1000).

Eligibility
Publication of original paper, in the category of communications networking, published in the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking in the previous calendar year; author need not be a member of IEEE.

Basis for Judging
Quality, originality, utility, timeliness, clarity of presentation.

Nominee Solicitation
Nominations solicited by Transactions Editor-in-Chief from the Editorial Board, guest Editors, and readership (through published notice).

Selection Process
Nominations screened and reduced to a short list by a committee of the Editorial Board and submitted to the Communications Society Awards Committee for final selection.

Presentation
