The 425 papers of the first decade of CASCON proceedings were

       methods or developers

       applicability, timeliness, scope, problem-solving value,
       product value)
    c) Societal or scientific/technical significance of the topic
       or problem investigated or expounded
    d) Technology transition approaches that have worked well
    e) Contributions that have had substantial impact in industry
       or academia

2. Professional Merit (50%)
    a) Creativity and originality, as reflected in new insights,
       interpretations, facts, innovations, methods, applications
       (e.g., stimulating, informative, or enlightening)
    b) Scientific and professional quality of the research, review,
       development work, methods of inquiry (e.g., competent, valid,
       or replicable)
    c) Scholarship embodied in the presentation, explanations,
       interpretations, and discussions (e.g., researched, documented,
       balanced, or critical).
