Pat Goldberg Memorial Best Paper Awards - overview
Every year, IBM researchers may submit papers, published in refereed conference proceedings and journals in the previous calendar year, to the Pat Goldberg Memorial Best Paper Award competition, an annual competition sponsored by IBM Research. Originally, the competition encompassed papers in computer science, electrical engineering, and mathematics. In recent years, the scope has expanded to encompass all technical areas in IBM Research, including Computer Science, Mathematical Sciences, and Physical Sciences.
From the papers submitted each year, the Research Professional Interest Communities (PICs) and representatives of the Physical Sciences Council may nominate papers based on technical significance (depth and breadth) and expected long-term impact.
A selection committee consisting senior IBM researchers reviews the nominated papers and selects a small number (typically, between two to six) winners of the annual Pat Goldberg Memorial Best Paper Award competition.
Here are the winners of the competition from 1999-2021:
