RAS Conference Editorial Board

Established in 2006, 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.

ICRA 2010 will be held in Anchorage, Alaska USA., on May 4-8, 2010.

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 approximately 150 Associate Editors.

The Editors are responsible for supervising the assignment of papers to Associate Editors and the quality of their reports. The Associate Editors are responsible for acquiring at least two reviews for each paper that is submitted to the conference, and for writing a concise summarizing review report. These reviews are used by the conference Program 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 roles and responsibilities od CEB are more precisely described in the CEB Charter.

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 consistent 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 a description of your past experience as a reviewer, editor, etc.
