DVCon Best Paper Award Winners

DVCon Conference Attendees Decide the Best Papers for This Year.

DVCon recognizes quality contributions to the technical program by selecting the two best papers of the conference. The DVCon attendees select the best paper awards. We have broadened the voting to cover a scale from 1 to 7 with 7 being for great, high quality papers, and 1 for papers you may not have received as much value from. Your vote can be based on attending the session or reading the paper from the proceedings. If you have no opinion for a paper, simply do not provide a vote for it.

Votes due on Friday, February 23 at 3:00 pm. Please return the forms to the registration desk.
