OF SPECIAL NOTE

• Only those papers that are presented will be published.  Submitted papers that are not presented will not be published.

• One paper per track will be awarded the Best Paper Award for that track by a set of external judges. This selection is based first on the quality of the written paper -- only the very best written papers are considered for a best paper award. Of the strongest papers, the final selection of each award winner is based on both the presentation and the paper.
• While papers from both undergraduate and graduate students are welcomed at SIEDS, only those papers primarily written by undergraduates are eligible for Best Paper awards.
