2025 Winter Simulation Conference I-Sim Ph.D. Colloquium Best Student Paper Award
Eunhye Song, WSC 2025 PhD Colloquium Chair
INFORMS-Sim co-sponsors the Winter Simulation Conference (WSC) Ph.D. Colloquium. Ph.D. students, within two years of their graduation (planning to graduate by December 2027), will be given an opportunity to showcase their work during a short presentation session in the Colloquium (apart from the regular tracks).
INFORMS-Sim will award a Best Ph.D. Student Paper among those students making a presentation at both the Ph.D. Colloquium and a regular track in the conference. To be considered for this award, the students should:
- Have a full paper submitted to a regular track (a contributed paper, not an invited paper) and accepted; The PhD student must be the main author of the paper.
- Submit a 2-page extended abstract of the full paper to the Ph.D. Colloquium;
- Make a presentation in the Ph.D. Colloquium and prepare a poster. In other words, the students should participate in the Ph.D. Colloquium with Option 2 (Poster, Presentation, and Full Paper) as shown in https://meetings.informs.org/wordpress/wsc2025/phd-colloquium/
In addition, students interested in competing for a Best Paper award should include their contributed paper ID when completing the Ph.D. Colloquium submission. An email should also be sent to the chair of the Ph.D. Colloquium that includes the contributed paper ID and indicates intent to participate in the Best Paper competition.
For WSC2025, the Ph.D. Colloquium Committee consists of Alison Harper, Cristina Ruiz Martin, Eunhye Song (chair, eunhye.song@isye.gatech.edu), and Sara Shashaani.
