The AHSN Technical Committee

2015 Technical Recognition Award

The AHSN TC Technical Recognition Award aims to

Promote ad hoc and sensor networks research and development

activities in both academic and industrial communities.

This award is established as part of the AHSN TC activities in

which R&D takes place in areas related to ad hoc and sensor

networks. The award recognizes members of the IEEE

Communications Society (ComSoc) who have made significant

contributions to technological advancement of ad hoc and sensor

networks.




2015 Technical Recognition Award • The AHSN TC Technical Recognition Award will be given in

each calendar year. If no suitable candidate is proposed in a

given year, the award will not be presented for that year. The

award will be announced and conferred during the IEEE

Global Communications (GLOBECOM) conference.

• Nominations are solicited by e-mail from the AHSN TC

members. All nominations must be sent to the AHSN Award

Selection Committee in PDF or text format by July 15 of the

year in which the award is to be given.

• The nominations should include a concise description of the

candidate's contributions to the technological advancement of

ad hoc and sensor networks and any supporting materials

showing that the candidate has met the award eligibility

criteria.
