ACM SIGSOFT Distinguished Paper Award
ACM SIGSOFT encourages SIGSOFT-sponsored conferences to designate a number
of accepted papers for ACM SIGSOFT Distinguished Paper Awards for the conference.
Rules
Number of ACM SIGSOFT Distinguished Papers
In cases where the number of accepted papers is less than or equal to ten,
one paper can be designated; in cases where the number of accepted papers
is 11 through 20 inclusive, two papers can be designated; otherwise, 10%
of the papers can be designated.
Selecting ACM SIGSOFT Distinguished Papers
The program committee will take a weighted vote, respecting the conflict
of interest rules in place for the conference, to identify the top candidates
among the papers. The program committee chair(s) will use the results of
the weighted votes as a primary basis for selecting the award papers.
Notifying Recipients of ACM SIGSOFT Distinguished Papers
Conference organizers can also decide how they want to notify the recipients
of the Distinguished Paper awards. One possibility is to postpone the announcement
of the award until an awards ceremony at the conference. Another possibility
is to place the Distinguished Papers in strategic locations in the program---e.g.,
the first (or last) paper(s) in the program.
Obtaining ACM SIGSOFT Distinguished Papers Award Certificates
Distinguished Paper award certificates can be obtained by contacting Ginger
Ignatoff at ACM, and providing the following information:
- Name of the Conference
- Name(s) of General Chair
- Name(s) of Program Chairs
- Number of papers accepted for the conference
- for each Distinguished Paper
- Name of author(s)
- Title of paper
To ensure that the certificates will be ready by the conferene, when they
will be presented, certificates should be requested as soon as the Distinguished
Papers are selected but no later than one month before the start of the
conference.
