George S. Axelby Outstanding Paper Award Chair

To recognize outstanding papers published in the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control.

Award Information

Prize:

A galvanic (photo engraved) plaque for each recipient and, for one recipient, travel expenses to the CDC (round trip restricted minimal coach air fare), conference registration and up to 4 conference-rate hotel-nights for a 3-day conference, and up to 5 conference-rate hotel-nights for a 4-day conference.

Funding:

Funded by the IEEE Control Systems Society.

Presentation:

At most one (1) award presented annually at the Awards Ceremony of the CSS.

Eligibility:

Authors of papers published in the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control during the two calendar years preceding the year of the award. The paper publication date is determined by the journal volume date (not the online publication date).

Basis for Judgement:

Originality, potential impact on the theoretical foundations of control, importance and practical significance in applications, and clarity.

Award Nomination

Nomination Deadline:

May 15 of each year.

Nomination:

Nominations and reference letters are due by May 15 and must be submitted using the CSS Awards Nomination system at css.paperplaza.net. Please download the nomination form and follow the instructions.
