The best student paper award will be given to the best conference paper with a student (at the time of the conference) as the lead author and principal contributor. The student must also personally present the paper at the conference. Papers should first be submitted as a regular or special session paper. Only (co-)authors can nominate their papers. The nomination deadline is the same as the deadline for regular papers. The conference organizers will forward the nominated papers to the award committee.

The nominations for Best Student Paper Award are done through a separate submission in the CASE 2014 paper submission site. Go to https://ras.papercept.net/conferences/scripts/start.pl, locate "CASE 2014", and click the link "Submit a contribution to CASE 2014". Then on the "Submission Wizard" page, locate the "Best Student Paper Nomination" entry and click "Submit". This opens the submission form, and PaperPlaza will guide you through the remaining part of the submission process.

There is no special nomination letter template, but please indicate the submission number of the paper. Please also confirm that the paper was mainly authored by a student, and indicate the extent of the studentˇ¦s involvement in the research and writing of the paper. Extra recommendation and/or support letters can also be supplied, but all these documents, including the nomination letter, must be bundled together into a single pdf. The submission is completed by uploading this pdf.
