Definitions of Awards

DPS offers the following awards annually to recognize those who demonstrate outstanding achievements in the fields of interest to DPS.

DPS Nishizawa Award:

DPS Nishizawa Award is to be presented to an individual who has made outstanding contributions to DPS as well as significant academic/technological achievements in the fields of interest to DPS.

Best Presentation Award: (previously known as the "Best Paper Award" of DPS)

This award is to be offered annually to the authors of the paper that has been presented most excellently in the latest DPS and made significant academic/technological contributions to the fields of interest to DPS.

Young Researcher Award:

This award is to be offered annually to a young researcher who has made an outstanding presentation in the latest DPS. The awardee must be 35 years old or younger as of the 1st of January of the year in which his/her DPS presentation considered for the award is made.
