CONFERENCE ESSENTIALS
What is an IASTED Technical Committee?
IASTED Technical Committees are standing committees for 3-4 year terms which were established to consult and advise IASTED on relevant and interesting topics within a specific field (i.e. Neural Networks). Technical Committee members may also assist in the planning and organization of IASTED activities such as meetings and publications. As a member of the technical committee, activities may include recommending individuals to act as speakers, delivering keynote addresses or organizing tutorials at the conferences; suggesting updates to the conference scopes to reflect the most current topics; becoming involved as a member of conference-specific International Program Committees; and suggestions for other improvements and innovations in IASTED conferences.
What is an IASTED International Program Committee?
Each IASTED conference has an International Program Committee which consists of people who have proven expertise in areas of the conference scope. International Program Committee members review papers submitted for their respective conferences, make recommendations for individuals to act as keynote and plenary speakers, organize tutorials and special sessions, distribute conference Call For Papers, and help with the conference program.
