Roberto Tempo Best CDC Paper Award

IEEE CONTROL SYSTEM SOCIETY ROBERTO TEMPO BEST CDC PAPER AWARD

To honor Roberto Tempo’s memory, in 2018 the IEEE instituted the IEEE Control System Society Roberto Tempo Best CDC Paper Award to recognize outstanding papers presented at the IEEE Conference on Decision and Control. The prize consists in a cash award of $1,000, and a Galvanic (photo engraved) plaque for each author of the winning paper. The award is funded by an endowment jointly provided by the Control System Society and Roberto Tempo’s family and managed by the IEEE Foundation. Basis for judging are: Originality, potential impact on any aspect of control theory, technology, or implementation.
