SPCOM 2020 has two award categories for rewarding papers with outstanding technical content: Best Paper Award and Best Student Paper Award (student first author). Further, there will be two prizes in each award category. Based on the scores and comments received during the double-blind review, the Technical Program Chairs have shortlisted the following papers as contenders for the awards. The selection will be made by an Awards Committee comprising experts in the areas of interest to SPCOM. The criteria for selection include the technical contribution of the paper, the quality of the video presentation, and Q&A during the interaction session.
