• Symposia
• Policy Dissemination

Workshops

• Mini-Conferences before or after main programs on
  hot topics consisting of
• invited talks (keynotes)
• panels
• short papers (open review process)
• peer reviewed papers
• in a sense workshops can also serve as incubators
  for future symposia
• typically 1 day, but half day is possible
• peer reviewed papers of all workshops of any
  GC/ICC will appear go to IEEE exPLORE and appear
  on a Workshops Proceedings CD, so they are
  acceptable publications
• Contacts are Heater Yu and Mike Devetsikiotis

Tutorials

• number of tutorial participants has been
  decreasing, GITC Tutorial working group (Abbas
  Jamalipour, Andrzej Jayczek.) have been looking
  to review tutorials
• Selection process
• 2 stage proposal process w.short proposals
• solicitation
• long proposals
• selection guidelines based on experience of
  previous GC/ICC
• possible cancellation up to 4 weeks before the
  conf. due to
• insufficient registrants
• lack of cooperation of instructors with the
  tutorial chair
• Quality monitoring
• participant feedback
• instructor and material
• topic interest
• ....

Review Process

• Stefano Bregni has written up a standard review
  process
• this defines a consistent process across symposia
  and conferences

1.Symposium on Selected Areas in Communications

• Sponsors TCs supporting areas not represented in
  the other standard
  symposia, e.g.

• new sub-committees
• This serves as an incubator for emerging topics.
  The topic list will vary from time to time,
  topics which consistently draw a large number of
  submissions should be covered by a separate
  symposium - either as new symposium or be
  integrated into one of the existing symposia.
• The topic list below is an example from ICC09
• Access Systems and Networks (Powerline) (TC PLC)
• Vehicular networks

Summary

• List of standard symposia for GC/ICC
  conferences has been defined by GITC and should
  be followed by future conferences
• List of
• sponsoring TCs
• rough area descriptions
• proposed and presented to TAC (ICC 08, ICC07) for
  comment until 8/31/08, to be decided by GITC at
  GC08
• objective is a stable structure with minimum
  overlap and a managable symposium side (not too
  small, not too big)
• TCs cooperate in organizing symposia, no one TC
  owns any symposium
• slow evolution of symposia and slightly faster
  evolution of areas is foreseen, but should happen
  in a controlled manner not
• information on the website - summary PPT and
  handbook for future chairs is under preparation
