Best Student Paper Awards
IEEE GLOBECOM 2006 presented best student paper awards for six topic areas listed in the following. For or a paper to qualify for the Best Student Paper award, a student must be the main contributing author and an IEEE/COMSOC student member, and the student author must present the paper at the conference. This year, via edas/email, we invited co-authors of the student authors to submit nominations to their respective symposium chairs. Out of these nominations, each symposium can rank and forward at most two nominations for each area to the technical program chair. An ad hoc committee was appointed to evaluate these nominations to select up to three finalists for each area. The final winner was then selected based on a composite score that accounts for the manuscript review and the paper presentation at the conference.

Each student finalist received an invitation to attend the conference banquet with free ticket and received a certificate recognizing their outstanding contributions.   The winner will also receive a separate certificate and a check for $400 from COMSOC following the conference.
