    INFORMS Service Science Section Best Paper Award Competitions
    @ 2021 INFORMS Annual Meeting
    Deadline for Submission: June 30th, 2021


    The INFORMS Service Science Section announces the following two best paper award competitions to recognize excellence among its members and bring prestige to the Service Science Section as well as to the recipients honored.

    • Best Cluster Paper Award
    • IBM Best Student Paper Award

    The INFORMS Service Science Section promotes and disseminates research and applications among professionals interested in theory, methodologies, and applications in Service Science. The Section provides a forum to exchange new ideas and disseminate new findings in Service Science.

    Awards

    • Best Cluster Paper Award will select a first-place, a second-place, and a third-place winner.
    • IBM Best Student Paper Award will select a first-place, a second-place, and a third-place winner.
    • All winners and finalists will receive a plaque or award certificate.

    Selection Process

    Each of the two awards will form its award committee. For each award, its award committee will choose a pool of finalists from the submitted papers for this award, based on:

    1. Academic significance (originality, depth, completeness, and work's potential impact on future service science research).
    2. Business relevance (importance of the problem and its impact on service engineering or business practice).
    3. Fit with the INFORMS Service Science Section.

    The finalists will be invited to present in an award competition session judged by the award committee at the 2021 INFORMS Annual Meeting in Anaheim, CA, October 24-27, 2021. Each award committee will then decide the order of winners, which will be announced during the business meeting of the Service Science Section.
