Awards

The EPEPS conference recognizes the excellence in research through the following prestigious awards:

    1. “Best Paper Award” – All accepted papers will be considered for this Award.
    2. “Best Poster Paper Award” – All accepted poster papers will be considered for this Award.
    3. “Best Student Paper Award” – All accepted papers that meet the requirements for this award will be considered.
    4. “Best Benchmark Paper Award” – All accepted papers that utilize at least one of the benchmarks published by the IEEE TC-EDMS Packaging Benchmarks Committee will be considered for this Award. The benchmarks are publicly available.

The technical program committee will select the above awards based on the following criteria:

    • Novelty
    • Advancement of the theory and application
    • Practicality and industrial relevance of the presented work
    • Quality of the presented results
    • Quality of the written manuscript
    • Quality of the oral/poster presentation

For the “Best benchmark paper award”, the committee will also consider the following criteria:

    • Does the paper use a released benchmark to show the benefit of the proposed method?
    • Does the proposed method have some advantages with respect to existing methods?
    • Does the paper compare and quantify the differences between the reference results from the benchmark problem and the proposed method?
    • Does the paper make sound technical arguments to justify differences in the results between the paper proposed method and the released problem?
    • Is the method proposed by the paper generalizable to other problems?
