The best student paper competition was introduced in 1998. Since then students participating in the SMC conference were able to submit in the best student paper award. An achievement plaque and a monetary award (200 USD) will be given to the Best Student Paper presented at SMC 2006 by the Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society. In addition, the local organizing committee of the SMC 2006 will provide each of the five finalists with an additional monetary award (150 USD).

In order for a paper to be considered for the student paper competition the following requirements should be met:

The eligibility criteria for the competition are:

  • Students must have been at least a half-time registered student at the time the work was completed.
  • The student is the primary author and research contributor of the work presented in the paper.
  • The paper must be accepted to the conference
  • The lead authors of the five semi-finalist papers are required to attend the conference and present their submission in both a special student papers session as well as in their regular sessions

This year has on-line paper submission and review procedure. Full papers are submitted and each student author has an option to identify at the submission time whether the paper is to be considered for the Best Student Paper Competition. The conference reviewers are responsible for reviewing each paper and for providing rating for the quality of the paper.

The top 12 papers will be then reviewed by the panel of six (6) judges via the Evaluation Form for the 5 semi-finalist papers. The six judges are from different countries and have expertise in areas covered by the semi-finalists. Finalists will be notified by August 8, 2006.

The panel will receive the finalist's papers prior to the conference. A special Student Papers Session will be held at which the finalists will present their papers. Based on both the submitted paper and the presentation, a panel of judges will select the Best Student Paper for SMC '06.

All finalists will be invited free-of-charge to the Awards Banquet during which the winner will be announced. Students participating in the Student Paper Competition should make their plans accordingly.

Note that all student papers will be scheduled for presentation throughout the three-day conference as part of the normal sessions. Thus, each semi-finalist will present his/her paper twice: once at the regular session and once at the Best Student Paper session.
