To Request SSCS Sponsorship

The process for approval requires that the conference actually apply for approval with the SSCS Meetings Committee at one of the regular meetings in February or August. This approval should occur approximately 18 months prior to the actual conference. The key items required for the review can be made at a short presentation at either of the meetings. Specific things which should be provided to the Meetings Chair prior to the Meetings Committee meeting include:

1) Who will be presenting to the committee?

2) What is the focus of proposed conference? Are there other sponsoring organizations, especially funding sponsor?

3) For which year are you requesting approval?

4) What are the dates and location of the conference?

5) Statistical details including:

What is the attendance?

How many papers were submitted?

How many papers were accepted? (Invited and contributed)

What is the geographic distribution of submissions/acceptances?

Are the Proceedings available on IEEEXplore?

6) Any other information that you consider important in evaluating the proposed conference and the value of SSCS co-sponsorship.

7) Please bring a copy of the most recent proceedings to the meeting.

Though not precluded, it is not often that a first time conference receives technical co-sponsorship. Please contact This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , Meetings Committee Chairman for further assistance in preparation or scheduling.
