Call for Track Chairs (Technical Program/Proceedings)

SoutheastCon is the annual IEEE Region 3 Technical, Professional, and Student Conference. It brings together Computer Scientists, Electrical, and Computer Engineering professionals, faculty and students to share the latest information through technical sessions, tutorials, and exhibits. It is the most influential conference in Region 3 for promoting awareness of the technical contributions made by our profession to the advancement of engineering science and to the community. As usual, attendance and technical program participation from areas outside IEEE Region 3 are encouraged and welcomed.

The conference Technical Program/Proceedings Committee solicits proposals for organizing and hosting tracks. Perspective track chairs should submit an intent letter to chair a track in the IEEE SEC 2005. Proposals should be short and include: name, affiliation/organization, track intending to chair, and a short bio. A preliminary list of tracks is available via: http://sec05.nova.edu/technical_program_track_list.htm New tracks or modifications of the proposed tracks are welcome.

Track chairs will be responsible for:
- Assisting in soliciting the call for paper
- Assisting in soliciting paper reviewers
- Assisting in acknowledging authors and classifying manuscripts
- Review papers in their track
- Make rejection/acceptance decision for reviewed manuscripts
- Send rejection/acceptance notification to authors
- Coordinate with the technical program/proceedings chair on papers' statistics

We are in the process of developing a review system for the conference. Additional information will be provided shortly.

All track chairs are expected to attend the conference and help organize their track sessions. In the event more than one will request the same topic will be made, co-chairing may be proposed.

Track chairs will be recognized on the conference website, conference program printouts and in the proceedings for their contributions.
