Revision of the Paper Award System

In order to make awards for papers more attractive to members and encourage more aggressive paper submission, the Board of Directors has decided to implement the following paper award system.

1) Awards will be selected by the Editorial Committee from articles published between January and December of that year.
2) A Best Paper can be selected from among them.
3) In order to honor the award and widely distribute the contents of the winning paper amongst our members, the first author of each winning paper will be invited to give the Plenary Session Lecture held in March in the following year.
