ITAB 2009 Student Paper Competition
Students are encouraged to submit their papers for the ITAB 2009 student paper competition, following the regular paper submission procedure (as documented above). Submissions will be evaluated based on their originality, scientific merits, structure, and clarity of composition. All submissions will be peer-reviewed and finalists selected based on the merits of submissions must attend the Conference and present their papers as either a platform or poster presentation. First, second and third place winners will be selected and these winners will receive monetary awards. The award winners will also be invited to submit their work in journal special issues on topics related to the conference.
Student Paper Competition (SPC) Guidelines
Students interested in participating in the competition should:
- Prepare their manuscript following the ITAB 2009 guidelines as outlined on the conference web site and in the Author's Kit. All papers must be within the 4 page limit.
- Submit their paper to the ITAB 2009 Conference as a Contributed Paper by the paper submission deadline.
- Inform their advisor's that they should also submit a Nomination email of 250 words (supporting the importance of the work carried out) for their student's entry by the paper submission deadline. The email should be sent to the Students Paper Competition Chair, Dr. Marios Neophytou (email: mneoph@ucy.ac.cy).
The Review Process
SPC submissions will be reviewed in the usual manner by the Conference Editorial Board for their suitability to be included in the technical program of the Conference. Those receiving high scores in the initial review will then be reviewed by the SPC Committee to short-list the Finalists. The nomination by faculty advisors is a very important document here (remember it must be received by the paper submission deadline).
The Finalists
First, Second, and Third place winners will be selected based on the technical merits of the work, professionalism of the presentation, and verbal communication skills.
The three overall winners of the SPC will receive an engraved plaque and an honorarium of 500 Euro for the first placed winner, 300 Euro for the second placed winner, and 200 Euro for the third placed winner. All Finalists will receive Certificates of Merit.
