STUDEnT PAPER CoMPETITIon
TUESDAY 14:00-16:00 HALL A3
The student paper competition had become one of the largest technical events
at IMS. The purpose of the competition is to determine and acknowledge the
best student work of the year in the MTT-S. This year we received 225 student
papers approximately 29% of all submitted papers. Each student paper went
through the regular review process by the Technical Program Committee.
Approximately 49% of the submitted papers were accepted for presentations.
Based on the review scores, only 31 of the accepted student papers were
selected as finalists. The finalists are given complimentary registration for IMS
