One organizer for each <STRONG><FONT color=red>invited session</FONT></STRONG>
with at least 6 registered papers will enjoy an honorarium of US*D 400. Invited
session organizers will solicit submissions, conduct reviews and recommend
accept/reject decisions on the submitted papers. Invited session organizers will
be able to set their own submission and review schedules, as long as a list of
recommended papers is determined by 30 March 2010. Each invited session proposal
should include: (1) the name, bio, and contact information of each organizer of
