Best Paper Award
(formerly known as the Senior Award)
The Best Paper Award honors the author(s) of a paper of exceptional merit dealing with a subject related to the Society's technical scope, and appearing in one of the Society's solely owned Transactions, irrespective of the author's age. The prize shall be $500 per author (up to a maximum of $1500 per award) and a certificate. In the event that there are more than three authors, the maximum prize shall be divided equally among all authors and each shall receive a certificate. Eligibility is based on a five-year window: for example, for the 1993 Award, the paper must have appeared in one of the Society's Transactions between January 1, 1988 and December 31, 1992. Current members of the Signal Processing Society Awards Board are ineligible. Judging shall be on the bases of general quality, originality, subject matter, and timeliness. Up to six Best Paper Awards may be presented annually, either at the Society's Awards Ceremonies, normally held during ICASSP in the Spring or at ICIP in the Fall following selection of the winner(s). Self-nominations are not accepted or considered. Nominations may arise from any individual or a technical committee, editorial boards of the Society's publications, and shall be submitted directly to the Society's Awards Board. The Awards Board will insure that all nominations are vetted by the appropriate Society Technical Committee(s) prior to final nomination and subsequent balloting by the Awards Board.
Nominations must be received by the SPS Vice President-Awards and Membership as follows:
- Nominations from SPS Community: by 1 May
- Nominations from Technical Committees: 1 October
