Best student paper award

This award will be presented to a student whose paper is selected by the Awards committee. The award consists of a certificate and a cheque for AUD $500. Runner ups will be awarded a certificate only.

Eligibility: The accepted papers on which a postgraduate or undergraduate student is the first named author are eligible for the award. In particular, the first author should be enrolled as a postgraduate or undergraduate student on the date of the conference submission deadline. The student's supervisor should write a nomination letter confirming the student eligibility and outlining the reasons for nomination; the letter (emails are accepted) should be sent to the Awards committee chair Michael Cantoni, ([email protected]) with a copy to the Program Committee Chair, Rahul Sharma ([email protected]).

Best Poster (Interactive) Paper Award

AUCC 2015 provides this award to honour an effort authors commit towards preparing a high quality poster paper and presenting its content on the best possible way. The Award will be announced at the closing ceremony of the conference, after all interactive papers are displayed and reviewed by the Poster Award Committee.

Plagiarism policy

Each submitted paper must represent original work that neither has appeared or has been accepted to appear elsewhere for publication, nor is simultaneously under review for another publication, in its current form. If the submitted paper contains any of the (co)authors' previously published work(s) as a basis for the submission, the previous work(s) must be cited and indication must be given as to how the new submission offers substantive novel contributions beyond those of the previously published work(s).

In accordance with the IEEE Policy, all submissions will be tested for similarity and overlap with prior published material using the iThenticate tool. Results of such overlap will be made available to the Program committee for evaluation. In case of possible violations of the IEEE ethics rules in publishing, the case will be handled in accordance with the IEEE CSS guidelines and may be reported to the IEEE Control Systems Society Committee for Ethics in Publishing. The IEEE CSS guidelines for handling complaints on plagiarism are available here.

The AUCC 2015 Plagiarism committee is chaired by Victor Sreeram.

Interactive Papers (Posters)

Please note that posters will have to satisfy certain compliance requirements.

Poster Boards are 2400mm high and 1200 wide.

Therefore, posters must be printed in portrait orientation, and must be no larger than A0 paper size (841mm wide, 1189mm high).

There will be Velcro dots in the G17_Foyer to secure posters to the boards. Pins cannot be used as the boards have a hard surface. We suggest that you laminate your poster.
