Best Paper Awards
As one of its initiatives, the Editorial Board of EMS recently instituted an annual Best Paper Award. The aim is to recognize those authors whose paper epitomizes the aims and scope of the journal. Characteristics of candidate papers are that they must possess as many as possible of the following features: high quality, innovative, interdisciplinary, generic in their utility and rigorous in the way their model or software testing is performed and reported.
Below we list the winner and the runners-up for 2005. The results for 2006 will be published soon.
