The conference's best paper will be awarded at the conference in a plenary

year, CUG will publish a special issue of the "Concurrency and Computation
Practice and Experience" (CCPE) Journal comprised of selected CUG papers.
Papers submitted by the Apr 3, 2017 due date will be reviewed to be invited
to the journal publication. We expect to accept the best 8 to 10 papers to
the CUG special issue of the journal.

All CUG proceedings are published in the public realm of cug.org
approximately 6 months after the conference unless you specifically request
your paper be published only in the members only realm. When you submit
your abstract for CUG 2017, you may select this option on the abstract
submission form.

Help us make CUG in 2017 the best yet.  I hope to see you at CUG 2017,
