The IEEE BIBE Program Committee Consists a number of academic Committees such as The Scientific Review Committee, The Award Committee and The Publication Committee.

IEEE BIBE Best Paper Awards will be conferred to the authors of (1) the best research papers (2) the best application papers (3) the best inter/multidisciplinary papers (4) the best student papers.

Foundational and original results will be considered for the best research paper awards; application-oriented submissions will be considered for the best application paper awards; original research papers that significantly promote synergistic inter/multidisciplinary research will be considered for the best inter/multidisciplinary papers and papers first authored by students (graduate or undergraduate full-time students) will be considered for the best student paper awards.
