RAS conference editorial board

The IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (RAS) Conference Editorial Board (CEB) is responsible for handling the review process for the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, beginning with ICRA'07.

The structure of the CEB is analogous to the structure of a Transactions Editorial Board. The CEB consists of an Editor-in-Chief, nine Editors, and 136 Associate Editors.

The Editors are responsible for supervising the assignment of papers to Associate Editors. The Associate Editors are responsible for acquiring two reviews for each paper that is submitted to the conference. These reviews are used by the conference Progam Committee as a basis for final decisions. In some cases, an Associate Editor may recommend that a submission be rejected without review. In this case, if the supervising Editor agrees, the paper will be rejected without being sent out for review.

The ultimate responsibility for the conference content, acceptance rate, invited sessions, etc. rests with the Program Committee. The purpose of the CEB is merely to ensure a high quality, robust, reliable and cosistent review process from year to year.

If you are interested in participating in the review process, either as a reviewer or as an Associate Editor, please send an e-mail to the Editor-in-Chief, along with a vita (pdf only), a list of your areas of expertise (selected from the conference keywords) and an description of your past experience as a reviewer, editor, etc.
