> 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 2002, and the invited
> session title. Fill the invited session organization form, provided in 
> the
> conference web page:  http://www.iiis.org/sci2002/. If by any reasons 
> you
> are not able to access the page mentioned above, please, try the 
> following
> page: http://www.iiisci.org/sci2002/. If you don't have access to the 
> web,
> contact the General Chair, via e-mail: ncallaos at callaos.com;
> ncallaos at aol.com; callaos at telcel.net.ve.
> 2) If the identified topic is suitable, the General Chair will accept 
> the
> proposal, and you will receive an acceptation by e-mail, in a 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' name, 
> and
> b) its organizer will be able to announce his/her invited session in the
> context of SCI 2002, 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.
> 3) Contact researchers and/or practitioners in your field to see if they
> can contribute a paper to your proposed session and attend at SCI 2002.
> 4) Collect the extended abstracts or the paper drafts from each 
> prospective
> participant.
> 5) Write a summary (1-2 page) with the main objectives, which must be
> related to the invited/selected papers.
> 6) 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.iiis.org/sci2002/.
> 7) 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 2002 conference program.
>
