Human Performance Modeling Technical Group

Colleagues –

I hope all is well at your respective locations and that everyone remains safe and healthy through the pandemic.

As you may be aware, preparations are underway for the SMC 2021 meeting. The meeting was to be hosted in Melbourne, AUS but is now to occur online (http://ieeesmc2021.org ). The primary organization team is with Deakin University. I agreed to serve in organizing a team of associate editors (AEs) for reviewing submissions to the Human-Machine Systems track for the meeting.

To this end, I am writing to call for any interest in AE service in development of the SMC 2021 Conference program. I realize that this is yet another potential service activity in an already very busy year. Having noted this, I believe that serving as an AE for the meeting has several benefits, including: (1) promoting our awareness of current research trends; (2) ensuring a high-quality of the Society flagship meeting; and (3) creating a base of strong papers for possible extension and publication in THMS. The workload of the AE role is expected to be relatively moderate (around 6-8 papers per AE) provided that we are able to develop a team of approximately 30-35 AEs

With these benefits in mind, please let me know if you would be willing to join the editing team for the conference this year. In the event that you may not personally have interest or bandwidth, please recommend any of your colleagues, who you think might be interested in taking advantage of this opportunity. Please feel free to share this message far and wide. As with all of these types of activities, the sooner you can let me know the better!

Thanks and best regards,

Dave
