IEEE Cluster 2013: A quick assessment• Papers and presentations have been very effective – excellent technical
quality, with special thanks to those who gave talks in a 2nd (or 3rd) language
• EOT track VERY well received• Expanded student program well received by students and advisors• Poster session with viz showcase was well received• Venue very well received• Area of improvement for next year: review process
– We made, as far as we can tell, correct decisions on accept/reject, but reviews were not as helpful to authors as they could have been in some cases
– The main root cause has been identified and corrected – which was the delay caused by the IEEE NY office in the conference organizers being able to declare this year’s conference an IEEE conference. The IEEE Computer Society has corrected this by granting the IEEE Cluster 2014 conference to call it just that as of its announcement 26 September 2013
– What we need to make this better next year is YOUR help to get really good, high quality submissions and high quality, thorough reviews
