The conference will have the following awards, which will be announced and bestowed at the conference closing session.

• 3 Best Poster Awards
• Best Oral Presentation

The author of an awarded paper, and co-authors if any, will be entitled to:

• A signed and stamped official award certificate;
• The announcement of their achievement on a special conference webpage;
• The awarded will receive a prize money of 300USD, will be transferred to bank account or will be paid in cash during closing ceremony.

Selection Criteria:

The awards will be conferred to the author(s) of a paper presented at the conference, selected by the Program/Conference/Doctoral Consortium Chairs. The decision criterion will consider both the paper quality (assessed by the Program Committee), and the oral presentation quality (feedback given by session chairs at the conference venue). As such, in order to enable a final ranking in a timely manner:

• Papers selected as candidates for best paper awards will be preferably presented in sessions on the first or second days of the conference.
• Candidates to "Best Student Paper Award" and "Best PhD Project Award" should be preferably presented by students, though authors may include senior members.
