Paper not respecting this format (for instance longer, or the optional 5th page containing content other than references) may be returned to authors without review.

Best Student Paper Awards and Best Demo

Following the tradition for ISCAS, the conference committee will recognize the three best Student Papers and the best Demos presented during ISCAS2020.  The selection of the Best Student Papers will be made on the basis of the review process results and of an ad-hoc presentation by the selected runners-up. In order to be eligible, the paper must have a student as principal (first) author, who must also attend the conference to present it.
