Particularly, in close cooperation with the scientific committee, Strand Chairs are expected to give their contribution in:

(a) confirming submissions belonging to their Strand or proposing an alternate Strand (asked before the conference);

(b) managing the review process within the strand (asked before the conference);

(c) putting together the paper sessions of their Strand and contributing to the organisation of the scientific programme (asked before the conference);

(d) briefly reviewing and accepting/rejecting submissions for the e-proceedings: for the e-Proceedings, Strand Chairpersons will be responsible for managing the chapter, writing the introduction and will be acknowledged as Co-editors  (asked after the Conference);

(e) selecting submissions/presentations to be invited for the printed Book of Selected Papers (asked after the Conference but participation at the Conference is important for this selection).

Strand Chairs will be in charge for the whole duration of this process, that means from the abstract submission period related to the Conference until the finalisation of the e-Proceedings.
