Professor Zdzisław Pawlak Best Paper Awards

The Professor Zdzisław Pawlak Awards are given in two categories: Best Paper and Best Student Paper. Each award carries a prize of 300 EUR founded by the Mazowsze Chapter of the Polish Information Processing Society. The awards have been originally associated with the International Symposium on Advanced Artificial Intelligence in Applications (AAIA) held every year as a part of FedCSIS. Currently, all papers accepted to FedCSIS are eligible to be considered as the award winners.
