Student Paper Competition

The papers submitted to the competition were reviewed during the standard Technical Program Committee (TPC) review process, which resulted in 24 finalists being selected. After the papers are presented at the meeting, the Program Committee members will select winners based on content quality, value to the technical community of interest and the student's presentation skills.
