Tutorials are posted at http://www.iaria.org/tutorials.html
Keynote speeches are posted at http://www.iaria.org/speeches.html
Discussions:
- The promotion of young researches and PhD candidates was again reinforced; they can play different roles, and they are encouraged of being session chairs.
- An open call to suggest regular refresh to the topics for ICAS 2011 was launched
- Please have a look at ICAS 2011
Suggestions are welcome at 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:
- Continue with ‘Poster’ and ‘Work in Progress’ tracks
- Definitively, the technical program committee must be tuned to reflect new topics and assure a fair peer-to-peer review process.
Special topics for further consideration:
- It is the IARIA Board position that everybody should benefit the same access and service during the conference; some suggested to have partial services and reduced registration fees for students. A detailed discussion went on the structure of the registration fees, simply sharing with the audience where each penny goes.
- A particular suggestion will be implemented from the next event: Student Consortium.
- Another suggestion was to have many POPs; while feasible, the drawback is that this will split the community. A try will be prepared for the next event.
Proceeding publications:
- The option to publish in an open digital library was discussed; this will allow having all the proceedings of the co-located events on the same CD Proceedings, and full free access to any publication.
- This issue will be carried further on to the IARIA Board to careful attention.
- It was suggested that some national research Centers encourage scientist to rather publish in openly searchable digital libraries.
Next steps:
- Develop the new topics via off-line exchanges
- Extend invitations for ICAS 2011 committee membership
- Attract scientists in the committee to cover the newly intended areas
- Announce the new topics with the CfP for ICAS 2011
- The plan is to update it accordingly for ICAS 2011
- Location: Venice, Italy
- ICAS 2011 will be organized under InfoSys 2011, in May 2011

Excellent discussions were around these special invited presentations and demos.
There were discussions on:
- Want industry and academia understand by A&A
- The challenges for real autonomic applications
- The achievements on micro- and nano-robotics
- The current topics in the Call for Papers were considered as ‘up to date’
- Some of the topics require more attention, in terms if disseminating the Call for Papers to attract more and better submissions: CLOUD, CASES, MODEL, KUI…
- Please have a look at: http://www.iaria.org/conferences2010/ICAS10.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., CLOUD, AUTONOMY. Also, on these topics, special communities must be a target for invitations, as the number of submissions in this area was not too high.
- One suggestion was to keep the “demo section’; however, this was one of the most painful session to organize, due to the industrial perceptions.
- Definitively, the technical program committee must be tuned to reflect additional/updated topics and assure a fair peer-to-peer review process.
- Another suggestion was to list the author affiliation in the final program; the challenge with this is that the final list with the authors is provided by the Publisher, based on the camera-ready information; in listing the sessions, the Publisher do not specify the country, making it difficult to have it in the posted program
Next steps:
- Develop the new topics via off-line exchanges and update the current ICAS 2010 site
- Extend invitations to committee membership
ICAS 2010
