2023 AP OUTSTANDING PAPER Award Application
APCC Best Paper Award
Purpose
The award is presented to the authors whose work presented at an annual Asia-Pacific Conference on Communications (APCC) is recognized to be outstanding.
Name
The name of the award is “APCC Best Paper Award”.
Award Committee
The Award Committee, organized under the guidance of APCC Steering Committee, is responsible for selecting and making the award from among all the papers presented at a specific APCC.
Members of the Award Committee
The members of the Award Committee consists of
- the representatives from CIC, IEEE COMSOC APB, IEICE-CS and KICS, which sponsor the award by donating US$500 per year
- TPC chair of the specific APCC
- ASC Chair and ASC secretary
In case a member of the committee is also the author or co-author of shortlisted papers, then a nominee of the member will represent the member in the award selection process.
Number of the Award
The Award Committee will determine the number of awards to be given out in a specific APCC. This will be limited to a maximum of four awards at any one APCC.
Award Format
Every author of an awarded paper will be presented with a certificate. Each awarded paper will also receive a cash honorarium with an amount equivalent to US$300.
As an option, conference organizers may wish to add some small local souvenir gifts as part of the award.
Selection Method
- The Award Committee requests the TPC Chair of the conference to nominate 7 to 10 papers based on their review scores. These scores will not be made known to members of the award committee prior to the final decision of the award.
- Members of the Award Committee will review and score each of the nominated papers.
- The winning papers together with a few runners-ups are selected based on the combined scores of the Award Committee members and the TPC reviews in the ratio of 1:1. It is possible that some considerations/adjustments on certain issues, such as Regional balance, (e.g., Regional balance, etc.) may be necessary in the final selection of the awarded papers.
- The members of the Award Committee will make sure that the winning papers have been orally presented at the conference. If no oral presentation is made by a winning paper, then the runner up paper, which receives the highest score and has been presented, will be chosen in its place.
Comment: Since the awards are given out during the conference banquet, normally held on the second day of the conference, it is necessary to make sure that those winning papers scheduled for the last day of the conference will in fact be presented.
Fund for the Awards
The awards are supported by the cash donations from KICS, IEICE-CS, CIC, and IEEE COMSOC APB. The ASC Secretary will receive from each organization a cash donation of US$500 per year.
(APB (ComSoc) is expected to give the APCC organization US$1000 every two years.)
