SCSC2004 Best Paper Award

San Jose' 25-29 July 2004

 Prof.A.Bruzzone, SCSC2004 General Chair, and Prof.M.Obaidat, SPECTS General Chair during the Presention of Best Paper Awards in SummerSim2004
SCSC2004 Best Paper was established for first time in Montreal Edition and it represented one of the results obtained by emphasising quality; that fact is currently allowing the Conference Chair to nominate best papers for being considered by SCS International publications and during 2004 a special issue, composed by two volumes, inspired by SCSC2003 best papers was published in Simulation Transaction of SCS International.
Also this year each single paper in the proceedings, and even the Student Workshop Papers, get at least three review from SCSC International Program Committee (IPC) and Program/General Chair overview. Based on this process and on IPC/Track Chair Nomination it was possible to create a short list of very high quality papers.
