ComSoc & IT Joint Paper Award
The purpose of the ComSoc & Information Theory Joint Paper Award is to recognize outstanding papers published in any publication of the Communications Society or the Information Theory Society during the previous calendar year. The authors do not have to be a member of IEEE. Presented annually, the award consists of a plaque and an honorarium up to US $500 for each author (total cost not exceeding US $1,000 for each paper).
Nominations and optional letters of endorsement must be submitted by March 1 to the Awards Committee chair. please email the name of the paper you wish to nominate, along with a supporting statement explaining its contributions to both communications and information theory.
Past Paper Awards are as follows.
