TC Outstanding Paper Prizes are given annually and administrated by TCs. The general guidelines and timelines include the following: Papers published in CDC and CCTA in year N are eligible for the prize in year N+1. TC chairs call for nominations from TC members (January-March) TC chairs form the selection committee and send the committee rosters to VPTA (or CSS Award Committee Chair in case of conflict of interest) for approval (January-March) The committee selects the winner (April-May) TC chairs inform VPTA of the results (May-June) CSS issues the certificates, TC chairs announce the results, and present the certificate to the winners VPTA submits a column to CSM in July, announcing all winners. The column will appear in the December issue Application Details: The following TCs are currently awarding TC-OSPAs: Aerospace Controls Discrete Event Systems Distributed Parameter Systems Energy Systems Healthcare and Medical Systems Systems and Synthetic Biology Hybrid Systems Networks and Communication Systems Process Control Quantum Computing, Systems and Control Robust and Complex Systems Security and Privacy Smart Cities System Identification and Adaptive Control For more info contact the relevant TC Chair.
