IEEE Communications Society & Information Theory Joint Paper Award (Approved 1999; first presented 2002)

Prize A plaque and an honorarium up to US $500 for each author (total cost not exceeding US $1,000 for each paper).
Eligibility For outstanding papers published in any publication of the Communications Society or the Information Theory Society the previous calendar year. The authors do not have to be a member of IEEE. Presented annually.
Basis for Judging Quality, originality, utility, timeliness, and presentation. The paper should cover the interests and achieve the values of both the Communications Society and the Information Theory Society.
Sponsorship Jointly sponsored by IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc) and Information Theory Society (IT).
Funding Evenly funded by the two sponsoring societies.
Selection Process
  1. Every year ComSoc Awards Committee selects 1 or 2 candidate papers.
  2. Every year IT Awards Committee selects 1 or 2 candidate papers.
  3. A subcommittee of 4 people is formed with 2 members appointed from each of the Awards committees of the two societies. This subcommittee considers the 2 to 4 papers selected in (1) and (2) and selects 1 or 2 papers as the award recipients.
  4. For ComSoc, the normal Nomination Committees for paper awards organized by the publications boards nominate a short list of candidate papers, and the Awards Committee selects the 1 or 2 candidate papers out of the short list as in (1). No paper already selected for a ComSoc paper award will be eligible. The processes/timelines will be the same as all other paper awards. The two members in the subcommittee in (3) are appointed by the Awards Committee chair.
  5. For IT, the Awards Committee for paper awards will seek nominations and will submit 1 or 2 candidate papers as in (1). The processes/timelines will be the same as all other paper awards. The two members in the subcommittee in (3) are appointed by the Awards Committee Chair.
Presentation Annually at any event sponsored by either of the two sponsoring societies selected by the recipient(s)
