Dear all,

I am pleased to inform you that IEEE TAB (Technical Activities Board) has formally approved the establishment of the “IEEE TAMD Outstanding Paper Award” in 2013. This is the first year the Award will be bestowed.

For the current round of competition, any paper published in 2011 (Volume 3) is eligible for consideration. The prize includes a $1,000 honorarium, to be split equally among co-authors, and certificates to the author and co-authors of the selected paper. Please note, no self-nomination is allowed. For those who are interested in submitting a nomination for the IEEE CIS Transactions on Autonomous Mental Development Outstanding Paper Award, the materials needed are the following:
·         Nomination Letter with the following information:
o   Nominator: name, affiliation and email address of nominator
o   Nominated Paper: full citation of the paper, authors and their affiliations, postal addresses and email addresses.
o   Basis for Nomination: detailed documentation to justify the overall quality of the paper.
o   Proposed Citation: provide suggestion for the complete, correct and succinct citation. The Awards Committee reserves the right to make any necessary change on the citation.
·         Up to five reference letters supporting the nomination.
·         Nominated paper in PDF format.

The complete nomination packet must be printed in a single pdf file containing the above information in the given order. The name of the file must besurname_of_nominee_AMD.pdf.

The complete nomination packet must be submitted by email to the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society Awards Committee Chair, Prof. Jose Principe (principe at cnel.ufl.edu). Only when the Awards Chair acknowledges the receipt of the nomination packet the submission procedure can be considered complete.

The deadline is 30 April 2013 (strict deadline).

I understand that this is unfair for the authors who published in the first two volumes, but unfortunately it takes time to establish such an award.

Thank you!
