Best Paper Award

At least one award will be presented by QRS 2020. Authors of each best paper will receive a certificate signed by the Program Chairs of QRS 2020.

In addition, selected papers of high quality will be published in a special section of IEEE Transactions on Reliability instead of the conference proceedings. This will speed up the journal publication of these papers.
