KR Test of Time Award: Call for Nominations

The aim of the KR Test of Time Award is to recognize papers published at the KR conference whose contributions have made a significant and lasting impact on the KRR academic discipline and/or the application or adoption of KRR techniques in industry and/or for the betterment of society.

Eligibility

Eligible papers are those that have been published at the KR conference at least 15 years ago (that is, 2010 or earlier).

Nominations

While papers do not need to be nominated to receive the award, the Awards Committee welcomes suggestions from KRR researchers of papers that they believe merit consideration for the Test of Time award.

A single person may nominate more than one paper. Self-nominations are not allowed. By default, nominations will be kept and may be used to inform future Awards Committees.

How to Submit Nominations

Nominations should be sent by email to the chair of the Awards Committee: Tommie Meyer (tmeyer@cair.org.za).

A single PDF file (extension .pdf) should be attached with a short text (1-2 paragraphs) explaining why the paper merits the award. It should also contain the title of the nominated paper, the list of authors and the year of publication at KR.

Note: If you wish to nominate a paper that has an Award committee member as an author, please submit your nomination by email to a committee member not having a conflict and/or to the KR Inc. President (Gabriele Kern-Isberner).
