Bo Yu has developed innovative software tailored for use in NSS-MIC Conferences, currently under a licensing agreement with NPSS. This software is applicable for both NPSS-sponsored and co-sponsored events like RADECS, requiring personal commitment from Bo Yu. The tool has proven effective for summary submissions and reviews in the 2009 and 2010 NSREC, with minimal complaints and rapid resolution of minor glitches. Bo Yu’s software is economical and streamlines the submission process, enhancing consistency and expediting the release of proceedings on IEEE Xplore.

Overview • Bo Yu developed software for use by the NSS-MIC Conference • License agreement between Bo Yu and NPSS presently under negotiation • For sponsored NPSS Conferences • For co-sponsored NPSS Conferences (e.g., RADECS) need to get Bo Yu’s personal commitment • Software very versatile • Summary submission (used by 2009 and 2010 NSREC) • Summary review (used by 2010 NSREC) • Submission of Proceedings papers to IEEE Xplore
2010 NSREC Experience • Jeff Black (2010 NSREC TPC) used it for both summary submission and review • Overall there were very few complaints – the software worked fine • Some glitches were noticed and fixed rapidly by Bo Yu (Bo Yu was very responsive) • All submitted summaries were sent to session chairs within 12 hours of the summary deadline • Jeff took about 10 hours to become familiar with the software • Jeff plans to put together a TPC guide giving instructions on the use of the software
RADECS • Bo Yu has stated that he will work with RADECS as needed • Cost for summary submission and review ~$1000 US (assumes he can mostly clone NSREC software) • Cost for Proceedings will be extra • Major advantages • Many options • Software very inexpensive (less than one registration fee for summary submission and review) • Provides consistency from year-to-year • Many of the NSREC users will overlap with many of the RADECS users and are now familiar with the software • Can expedite the availability of Proceedings on IEEE Xplore
