WUN CogCom Best Paper 2012 Awards
These were held in April 2012, and were based on a popular vote of the WUN CogCom Membership. Each member could vote for up to two papers in each of nine categories of shortlisted papers. Papers in the Cognitive Communications area, from the last five years were eligible. The shortlist was drawn up by WUN CogCom’s Steering Group, from a long list nominated by members.
The awards go to:
