IEEE INFOCOM 2026 Test of Time Paper Award Goes to Age of Information Research

Prof. Dr. Elif Uysal has been recognized with the IEEE INFOCOM 2026 Test of Time Paper Award for a study she co-authored. The awarded paper, originally published in 2016, advanced the concept of "Age of Information" — a measure of data freshness in communication networks — by demonstrating that transmitting updates as frequently as possible is not necessarily optimal.
