- Please have a look at: http://www.iaria.org/conferences2009/ICQNM09.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
- The Poster session QNM-oriented was well received.
Suggestions:
- One suggestion was to enrich the “material + nano”-oriented topics
- One idea was to separate Q from NM; thought at the Q/nano level there is an intimacy, and, most probably, QNM will go ahead together
- Definitively, the technical program committee must be tuned to reflect new topics and assure a fair peer-to-peer review process.
Next steps:
- Develop the new topics via off-line exchanges
- Extend invitations to committee membership
ICQNM 2010:
- Announce the new topics with the CfP for ICQNM 2010
- Location: yet to be defined, most probably in Caribbean area, February-March 2010
- Under Digital World 2010
