The following papers were stortlisted for the best paper and best student paper awards sponsored by Wiley. Each paper was presented as a poster paper on Tuesday 3 Septermber 2013 in addition to their normally timed presentation to give delegates a greater chance to see them. The best paper in each category was selected by a committee of TPC Co-chairs taking into account the poster presentation and original reviews.
