Send out a notice when the
abstract acceptance is made to tell prospective attendees that this Award is
now an official IEEE Holm Conference Award together with the rules for
nomination. 2)
When papers come from the
candidates inform the technical committee member who has to review the paper
that 5 will be in the final judging and that the reviewer has the
responsibility to assess the paper for its selection for the final 5. 3)
A discussion will be held at the
final technical committee’s meeting to accept or reject papers to select the
final 5 candidates 4)
The finalists will be notified and
told to prepare both oral and poster presentations. 5)
A committee of 5 will be organized
to make the final judgment at the conference 6)
At the conference each member of
the committee will have a score sheet for each candidate 7)
Each committee member will
individually assess and discuss each poster with the candidates. I would
think about 10 minutes for each interview should be adequate (the tricky part
of this will be to discover how much of the work is the candidate’s own) 8)
Each member of the committee will
score each paper 9)
A uniform score sheet needs to be
used, for example:
10) The committee meets in the evening of the judging and reviews the scores. It may be obvious at first look who the best candidate is. If not a discussion can be used to pick the final winner. Sept
