Technical Program Committee (TPC) • Consist of about 200 experts in different areas of communications • Handle ICC’03 submissions (coordinate review process) • Organize and chair sessions
Workload for TPC Members • Number of submissions: 1200 – 2000 (1600 for Globecom’02) • Number of papers for each TPC member: 10 -15
Paper Submission Authors must • chose • general conference, and • one of 8 symposia, • specify their priorities. Examples: • 1st priority: Symposia 6, 2nd priority: General conference acceptable • 1st priority: General conference, 2nd priority: Symposia 2 acceptable • 1st priority: Symposia 7, 2nd priority: Symposia 2 not acceptable • 1st priority: General conference, 2nd priority: General conference not acceptable
Paper Assignment to Symposia Chairs According to • author’s choice, • distribution of submissions. Example: Sessions in Symposia X need 45 paper Chairs of Sym. X need to handle 100 submissions (assuming 45% acceptance rate) • 80 submissions with Sym. X as 1st priority and 40 submissions with Sym. X as 2nd priority 80 1st priority + 20 from 40 2nd priority to Sym. X • 120 submissions with Sym. X as 1st priority and 30 submissions with Sym. X as 2nd priority 100 from 1st priority to Sym. X
Final Decisions on Papers • TPC of general conference or each symposia accepts top 1/3 papers and rejects bottom 1/3 papers. (The results should not be released to the authors yet) • All TPC members of general conference and 8 symposia discuss and shuffle the middle 1/3 papers, and make final decisions on those papers at Globecom’02 in Taiwan. • The decisions of all papers will be released to authors.
Summary of Review Process • Everything is done electronically • Each paper should have at least 3 qualified reviews • Each TPC member determines top 1/3 (accepted) & bottom 1/3 (rejected) papers according to review results • TPC will discuss the middle 1/3 papers at Globecom’02 and make decisions according to the reviews.
Rules for TPC Members • Rules of thumb for review process of ICC’03: • No TPC member handles his/her own or colleague’s paper(s). • TPC members should not contact authors directly regarding his/her paper review. • Contact technical program or symposia chairs immediately if you feel uncomfortable to handle some papers due to any reasons.
