Excellent discussions were around these special invited presentations and panel positions.

There were discussions on:

  • Complexity of privacy/security in cross-countries data storage
  • Challenges at the embedded level
  • Efforts to maintain and develop existing multi-national infrastructures issued from temporary grants/consortiums.

- The current topics in the Call for Papers were considered as ‘up to date’
- Please have a look at:  http://www.iaria.org/conferences2010/ICNS10.html

Suggestions are welcome to petre@iaria.org

The procedure of invitation-only for extended versions of selected papers among those presented for on-line IARIA journals, with no additional fees, was appreciated.
See: www.iariajournals.org

Suggestions:

  • Topics must be tuned according to the new trends; some of the current topics /and the Call for Papers itself/ must reflect these trends, i.e., IPv6, Packet Dynamics and Optical Burst Switching should be less emphasized in the Call for Papers. Also, on these topics, special communities must be a target for invitations, as the number of submissions in these areas was not too high. 
  • One suggestion was to add a “demo section’
  • On large campuses, better signage to get to the meeting rooms
  • Definitively, the technical program committee must be tuned to reflect additional/updated topics and assure a fair peer-to-peer review process.  

Next steps:

  • Develop the new topics via off-line exchanges and update the current ICNS 2010 site
  • Extend invitations to committee membership
