Basis for Judging:
|
All candidates for selection must have identified themselves at the time of abstract submission. Upon notification of acceptance of the abstract, the award candidate should arrange to have his/her advisor or research supervisor provide an endorsement of the work to the awards committee (contact details will be provided at a later date). At the conference, the on-site awards committee will rank the papers for technical content and originality first. Other criteria such as graphic display and clarity of data presentation may be considered.
