The Organizing and Scientific Committee is drawn from faculty members of Cornell University from the College of Engineering.
The role of this committee has been to recommend potential plenary and keynote speakers as well as possible session organizers -- and a few have also elected to serve as session organizers themselves. They are assisting in the reviewing of individual abstracts and in the arrangement of the accepted abstracts into thematic sessions. Their graduate students will be recruited to staff the actual sessions. (However, the administrative work of the Conference organization and operation will mainly be handled by the professional conference staff of Cornell University.)
