Criterion
The ComSoc TCCN Publication Award is given to (up to) one individual or group per award cycle who are deemed to have made outstanding technical contributions to TCCN. The basis of judgement will be archival, peer-reviewed publications in ComSoc conferences and journals over any period prior to the award cycle.

The serving TCCN TC Chair, Vice-Chairs, and Secretary are not eligible for any award. A member of the award committee is not eligible for any award in the same award cycle. The serving TCCN TC Chair, Vice-Chairs, Secretary, ComSoc President and VPs, cannot nominate and/or endorse candidates for the award.
Nomination Process
For each nomination, both the nominator and the nominee must be members of IEEE ComSoc. The nominator should send the nomination to the TCCN Publication Award Committee Chair (Dusit Tao Niyato, Email: dniyato@ntu.edu.sg) in PDF format by September 30, 2021. The email should have the title “TCCN Publication Award Nomination”. No late and no self-nominations will be considered.
