SNF Contest for Best ASC 2016 Contributed Preprints  PART I
 
FOREWORD
 
Contributed preprints have been submitted to the SNF Contest for Best ASC 2016 Contributed Preprints in Electronics (E), Large Scale (L) and Materials & Conductors (M).  The deadline for entering the Contest was September 30, 2016, and the total number of submissions by that date was 43 preprints, of which two were later withdrawn and other two were ASC 2016 Student Paper Winners already pre-published in No. 38.   Our Contest criteria were specified in the Announcement A359.  Names of actual presenters at the ASC are underlined.
     
This Preview contains only the Contest results in E and M.  The evaluation of L preprints is delayed, most likely until mid-December.  Consequently, the Winners and Runners Up in L will appear later in a separate Preview.
