IEEE CSR Awards

The IEEE International Conference on Cyber Security and Resilience recognizes outstanding individuals who make substantial contributions to the advancement of security and resilience, inspiring other members of the community with their pioneering research and innovation.

The awards process is chaired by members of the CSR Steering Committee; papers from PC members cannot be nominated for the best paper award. A paper from the conference or its associated workshops could be nominated and the awardees need not be IEEE members.

An initial list of five top-ranked candidate papers will be compiled based on the papers’ overall review score. The award criteria to consider include the technical quality, novelty, potential impact, editorial quality, and presentation quality of the paper. There will be up to four winners per year.

The authors of a winning paper will be announced on the IEEE CSR website and will receive an official award certificate. Moreover, they will be invited to submit an extended version of their paper in a special issue of an international peer-review journal, depending on the availability of a post-publication agreement.

The awards ceremony is held annually at the IEEE CSR conference.

Best Paper Award

This award is established to recognize and promote high-quality regular research contributions to theoretical and practical aspects of security, privacy, trust, and resilience of networks, systems (including complex cyber-physical systems), applications, and services.

Eligibility criteria: The paper must have been indicated as a regular paper in the Submission Type in the conference management system.

This award is sponsored by IEEE CSR Conference with an amount of 250 Euro
