This award was established in 1992 in memory of Hans Karlsson, chairman and “father” of the IEEE 1301 family of standards.

A plaque and $2,000 honorarium are presented in recognition of outstanding
skills and dedication to diplomacy, team facilitation, and joint achievement in the development or promotion of standards in the computer industry where individual aspirations, corporate competition, and organizational rivalry could otherwise be counter to the benefit of the society.
