*Best Student Paper Competition*

The Data Analytics & Information Systems (DAIS) Division of the Institute
of Industrial and Systems Engineering (IISE) is pleased to announce the *2019
DAIS Track Best Student Paper Award* whose objective is to recognize
excellence among its student members. The award program brings prestige to
the DAIS Division as well as to the recipients honored.


Four finalists for the Best Student Paper Award will be selected to make
oral presentations at the 2019 IISE Annual Conference to be held in
Orlando, FL, from May 18-21, 2019. All finalists will receive an award
certificate. The winner will also receive a plaque. The Best Student Paper
Award will be presented at the town hall meeting of the DAIS Track during
the 2019 IISE Annual Conference.


The broad criteria for selecting the recipient of the DAIS Best Student
Paper Award are: (a) academic significance (originality, depth, and
completeness of the work and its potential impact on future research); and
(b) research relevance to DAIS (importance of the problem and its impact on
the practice of DAIS).


Eligibility Requirements and Application Process:

   - The paper topic should fit the DAIS themes.
   - The student should be the first author of the submitted paper.
   Moreover, a formal, signed statement by the student's advisor should be
   submitted along with the paper affirming that the majority of the original
   results presented in the paper are due to the student rather than the
   advisor or other collaborators involved in the work.
   - The paper should be completed during the first author’s undergraduate
   or graduate studies.
   - Previous finalists who wish to compete again should submit an entirely
   different paper. However, past winners are not eligible for the competition.
   - The finalists will be announced before the conference and will present
   their papers in the session of DAIS Best Student Paper Competition at the
   2019 IISE Annual Conference. Paper considered for this competition MAY
   NOT be simultaneously submitted to other competitions in the IISE Annual
   Conference.

   conference proceedings. The selected papers should be included in the
   conference proceedings.
