Re: RDWG: Agenda for Teleconference on Wednesday 07 March 2012

Dear All,

I won't be able to attend the meeting again today as I have to attend our departmental meeting again :( It is the beginning of the new semester and we could not cover all the topics last week :( Please see my comments about the agenda below.

Regrets.

I think it is ready and we will finalise the scientific committee by the end of this week.

I am happy about the changes, thanks to editors.

As I have written before, my thoughts are as follows:
- I think for the first webinar, it is very important that we do what we have said we will do in the call, otherwise I think it is not ethical. People decide to submit because of the call and its promises.
- For the following webinars, I think it is important that these abstracts are published somewhere that they are referencable. If they are published on the web, then I think its important that they have permanent location (URI) and they also have ISSN numbers. 
- I also think it might be a good idea to publish them with ACM / IEEE or Springer which *academically* gives them better status and in order to do this, may be they can be published with a journal, newsletter, etc. along with the note. However, one has to be careful with this approach as even though the abstracts are never been published, most of the work presented has been published elsewhere. 

Regards,
Yeliz.
