Invitation to nominate for the 2012 IEEE W.R.G. Baker Prize and IEEE Donald G. Fink Prize

The IEEE W.R.G. Baker Prize Paper Award will be awarded again this year after a hiatus of some years. The Baker Prize was established in 1956, and is the most prestigious paper award in the IEEE. The 2012 Baker Prize will honor "The most outstanding paper reporting original work published in any of the IEEE Transactions, Journals, Letters, Magazines, or Proceedings during the period 2007-2009."

As this award is intended to honor the "best of the best" published during the period 2007-2009, it is expected that the winner will have previously received an award at the Society level. Your Society is requested to consider eligible papers that have previously received Society-level awards, and nominate the best of your best for the 2012 Baker Prize.

The 2012 IEEE Donald G. Fink Prize Paper Award will honor "The most outstanding survey, review, or tutorial paper published in any of the IEEE Transactions, Journals, Letters, Magazines, or Proceedings between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2010."

The 2012 Fink Prize identifies the "best of the best" papers in surveys, reviews or tutorials, which are often the province of our Magazines. Your Society is requested to consider nominating the best of your best in this area for the 2012 Fink Prize.

Nominations are due to awards@ieee.org by 1 July 2011.
