AMSTA-09 Invited Sessions

Invited Sessions

Invited Sessions are organised and chaired by senior researchers who have knowledge of, and a special interest in, the topic of the session.

We invite researchers into emerging topics and new areas of investigation within the scope of the symposium to organise invited sessions, or parallel workshops of a half or full day, gathering a minimum of five papers from a wide range of research expertise from around the world.

Organisers of Invited Sessions undertake to:

Select a topic of interest to themselves and to conference delegates;
Obtain papers on this topic, normally a minimum of 5 for an invited session, but often more. If there are sufficient papers, the session may become a workshop.
Ensure the papers are submitted through the PROSE online review system;
Manage the review process for these papers using PROSE;
Provide suitable reviewers for the reviews of the papers and enter these on the PROSE system;
Ensure the final versions of the papers are uploaded before the deadline;
Attend the conference and chair the session.

Guidance notes for Invited Session Chairs are available .. here ..
