The 2024 ACC is pleased to announce the Student Best Paper Award. First-listed authors of regular or invited papers who were students at the time of submission are eligible. The academic advisor must write a nomination letter (maximum of 1 page) describing the contribution of the nominee to the paper and to the state of the art. The nomination letter should also confirm that the first author is a registered student at the time of submission. Note that only a single lead author of a paper can be nominated; if two students on the same paper are nominated, both nominations will be disqualified.
To complete the nomination form, please visit PaperPlaza after submitting the paper. The nominations should be entered on PaperPlaza by October 14, 2023. Authors who submitted their paper as an LCSS ACC paper will not be able to submit their nominations directly via PaperPlaza and should contact Elisa Franco (efranco@seas.ucla.edu) to complete their submission. The selection committee for the award will identify a set of finalists, who will be required to present their paper at the conference to be eligible to receive the award. Travel expenses including hotel, transportation, and conference registration will be covered to enable the finalists to attend.
