Award Subcommittee• Current Subcommittee Members

Mark Balas Soon-Jo Chung Sanjay Garg Mitch Ingham Stephan Kolitz Amanda Lampton

• Need new co-chair!!

• Accomplishments over the past year Solicited three new nominations for the 2014 IS award cycle Put forth nomination package for Sebastian Thrun Conducted selection process and selected Heinz Ergberger as

the IS award winner Reviewed and updated best IS paper award procedures Selected candidate papers for best IS paper award

• Challenges/Observations Planning for multiple awards revolved around

Infotech@Aerospace requires time and commitments – need to develop schedules to track progress

Current process is centralized and mostly driven by one or two people - need to involve subcommittee members to increase effectiveness

Increase transparency – ensure selections are made with inputs from subcommittee members and TC chair.

• What are your goals for next year? Rename IS Award to IS Technical Excellence Award? Implement web-based form for collecting future IS nominees Review and update award procedures Develop plan to solicit nominees for next IS award cycle Develop plan for best IS paper award Work with student paper competition track chair for I@A to

ensure best-in-session papers are selected at the next I@A Develop plan for ISTC distinguished service award Develop plan to improve subcommittee functions

Award Subcommittee

Lessons Learned from 2014 Intelligent Systems Award

• We have named this award the same as a high-level AIAA honor award… rename!!

• If an award cycle is skipped, all the carry-over nominees are no longer eligible for the next award cycle

• Ensure that we always have at least one new nominee for each award cycle• When identifying a potential nominator, find out if he/she is an AIAA member since only AIAA

members are eligible to make nomination• AIAA members can nominate a nominee whom they don’t know, but consider to contact

nominee to work with them to strengthen the nomination package• Have a pool of good candidates to go to when problems develop with one of the nominations• Develop a schedule to track nomination process• Establish a selection panel in advance to save time
