IEEE CSS George S. Axelby Outstanding Paper Award

To recognize outstanding papers published in the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control.

Prize:

A photo-engraved Plaque for each recipient and, for one recipient, travel expenses to the CDC (round trip restricted minimal coach air fare), conference registration, and up to 4 conference-rate hotel nights for a 3-day conference, and up to 5 conference-rate hotel nights for a 4-day conference).

Funding:

Funded by the IEEE Control Systems Society.

Presentation:

At most one (1) award presented at the Award Ceremony of the IEEE Control Systems Society.

Basis for Judgement:

Originality, potential impact on the theoretical foundations of control, importance and practical significance in applications, and clarity.

Eligibility:

Authors of papers published in the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control (IEEE TAC) during the two calendar years preceding the year of the award. The paper publication date is determined by the journal volume date (not the online publication date).

Nomination Details:

Nominations and reference letters are due by May 15 and must be submitted using the IEEE Control Systems Society Awards Nomination system at awards.paperplaza.net.

Biography

Edward J. Davison received the A.R.C.T. degree in piano in 1958, the B.A.Sc. in Engineering -Physics and the M.A. in Applied Mathematics from the University of Toronto in 1960, 1961 respectively, and the Ph.D. degree and Sc.D. degree from Cambridge University in 1964 and 1977, respectively. He was an Assistant Professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Toronto in 1964 – 1966, an Assistant Professor in the Dept of Electrical and Computer Sciences, University of California, Berkeley in 1966 – 1967, and an Assistant Professor, Associate Professor and Professor in the ECE Department, University of Toronto, in 1967 – 1968, 1968 – 1974, 1974 – 2001 respectively. He was appointed a University Professor, Dept of ECE, University of Toronto in 2001 and University Professor Emeritus, in 2004. He was inducted into the University of Toronto’s Engineering Alumni Hall of Distinction in 2003, and was awarded the Electrical and Computer Engineering Club Teaching Award in 2002. He has been a Designated Consulting Engineer of the Association of Professional Engineers of the Province of Ontario since 1979, and was President of Electrical Engineering Consociates Ltd., 1997 – 1999. His research interests are in the area of Control Systems Theory and Automation, with a particular interest in Large Scale Systems, Decentralized Control, Robustness, Controller Design of Large Flexible Space Structures, and Process Control. He has published over 500 research papers, of which one of his papers (1966) has appeared in the Citation Index of Current Contents, and two of his papers have been chosen for best paper awards in the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control (1973), (1980).
