The Awards Committee was composed of Luis M. Correia (IST-U. Lisbon, PT) (Chair), Markku Juntti (U. Oulu, FI) and Ana Garcia Armada (U. Carlos III Madrid, ES). Tracks Co-Chairs have proposed 1 to 2 papers in their tracks in each category (Best Paper Awards and Best Student Paper Award), after which each member of the Awards Committee ranked his/her 4 best papers in each category. In a final meeting, the Awards Committee discussed the global ranking and decided on the winners.
