Prize:
This is a single annual award (at most 1 paper may be selected) with possibly multiple recipients. 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. Each author of the selected paper(s) will receive a plaque.
Eligibility:
Papers published in the IEEE Control Systems Letters during the two calendar years preceding the year of the award. The paper publication date is determined by the journal volume date (and not the online publication date). The same paper cannot receive both the Roberto Tempo Best CDC Paper Award and the IEEE Control Systems Letters Outstanding Paper Award in the same year.
Basis for Judgement:
Originality, potential impact on the theoretical foundations of control, importance and practical significance in applications, and clarity.
