INVITED SESSIONS

Based on past conferences experience, we suggest the following steps in
order to organize an invited session:

1)Identify a special topic in the scope of SCI 2003, and the invited
session title.
2) Fill the invited session organization form, provided in the
conference web page http://www.iiisci.org/sci2003/  and fill the
respective form. If by any reasons you are not able to access the page
mentioned above, please, try the following page:
http://www.iiis.org/sci2003 . If you don't have access to the web,
please, contact the SCI 2003 Secretariat to the following e-mails:
jcastellano@iiis.org
3) If the identified topic is suitable, the General Chair will accept
the proposal, and you will receive an acceptation by e-mail, in few
days. This acceptation is not a final approval of the proposed session,
but a pre-approval. The final approval will depend on identifying at
least five papers for the proposed session and informing, at least,
about their titles. With this acceptation: a) the proposed session will
be included in the conference web page as well as its organizer and the
chairs' names, and
b) its organizer will be able to announce his/her invited session in the
context of SCI 2003, by any media that he/she thinks appropriated, such
as: Web page, hard copy call for papers, call for papers attached to
e-mails, etc.
4) Contact researchers and/or practitioners in your field to see if they
can contribute a paper to your proposed session and attend at SCI 2003.
5) Collect the extended abstracts or the paper drafts from each
prospective participant.
6) Write a summary (1-2 page) with the main objectives, which must be
related to the invited/selected papers.
7) As soon as you have 5 papers, you will complete the form regarding
the invited session papers, provided in the conference web page
http://www.iiisci.org/sci2003/  or http://www.iiis.org/sci2003 .
8) Step 7 will take your invited session to the status of an approved
one if the papers fulfil all the requirements (i.e. quality). All the
approved invited sessions will be included in the SCI 2003 conference
program.
9) In order to obtain a more diverse and variety opinions, do not accept
more than 2 papers from the same author, unless his/her co-author will
be the one who will present the additional paper.
