We had another TePRA Steering Committee meeting this evening which I hosted at Textron. I am very pleased with progress. Taskin Padir has really put a lot of effort into molding the technical program, the Call for Papers and now the conference website. Michael Gennert and Bill Michalson from WPI are the Technical Program Chairs and Taskin, Also from WPI, represents them at committee meetings. The committee is reaching a consensus on many topics. We have agreed on the conference dates, November 9th & 10th, the milstone calendar of significant dates, such as abstracts being due on May 15th, and that we definitely want to have a student competition again.
Helen Greiner has agreed to be Conference Chair once again and Colonel Barry Shoop has agreed to represent the Military on our Steering Committee.
We are off and running. Once we finalise the Call for Papers in the next few days we will be pulling out all the stops to get publicity for the conference. We are better prepared than last year but we need all the help we can get.
