Best Paper Selection Process:

The best paper selection is conducted by the conference Awards Committee through the following stages:

  1. Award finalist papers are selected from all accepted papers based on highest average review scores and reviewer best paper award nominations.
  2. 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.
  3. All remaining papers are evaluated in detail by the committee, focussing both on the paper and its presentation.
  4. 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.
  5. Awardees will be announced at the closing ceremony.
