IARIA Workgroup on Bio Sciences

Workgoup Meeting, March 10, 2010 - Cancun, Mexico
16:45 - 18:00

Attendance: TBD

Agenda: one tutorial was presented:

Virtualization, resource management and autonomous systems

as well as three keynore speeches:

Intrusion Detection using Artificial Intelligence
The Nature of Robust and Reliable Communications: Theory and Applications
Methods for Measuring Offshore Wind Climatology

and an expert panel:

Challenges in Bio-technologies, Systems and Environments

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.
Regroupthe topics under two conferences

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
Regroup the topics under two conferences: BIOTECHNO 2011 and BIONATURE 2011
Extend invitations for BIOTECHNO 2011 and BIONATURE 2011 committee membership
Attract scientists in the committee to cover the newly intended areas

BIOTECHNO 2011 and BIONATURE 2011 :

Announce the new topics with the CfP for BIOTECHNO 2011 and CfP for BIONATURE 2011
The plan is to update it accordingly for BIOTECHNO 2011 and BIONATURE 2011
Location: Venice, Italy
BIOTECHNO 2011 and BIONATURE 2011 will be organized under BioSciecesWorld 2011, in May 2011
