Awards

MMSP traditionally awards the top 10% of accepted papers. Since the acceptance rate of MMSP 2018 was just under 50%, this year we renamed this award to “Top 5% Award” because it refers to the top 5% of submitted papers. These top 5% of papers were selected based on reviews and meta-reviews. We are pleased to announce the recipients of this award below.

Among these papers, the Awards Committee led by Amy Reibman and Giuseppe Valenzise, and with input from Jenq-Neng Hwang and the TPC Co-Chairs, selected one paper, which was given the Best Paper Award. The critera used to select the best paper included reviews, meta-reviews, originality, potential impact, and the presentation quality. We are pleased to announce the recipient of this award.
