Best Paper Selection Process:
The best paper selection is conducted by the conference Awards Committee through the following stages:
- Award finalist papers are selected from all accepted papers based on highest average review scores and reviewer best paper award nominations.
- To avoid any conflict-of-interest, all finalist papers involving a conference committee member are excluded from proceeding beyond this selection stage. These papers are marked by an asterisk (*) above.
- All remaining papers are evaluated in detail by the committee, focussing both on the paper and its presentation.
- Based on the evaluation, the committee selects the awardees for best paper and best student-paper, as well as the runner-up in each category.
- Awardees will be announced at the closing ceremony.
