ISI 54th Session, Berlin, August 13-20, 2003
Draft Scientific Programme:
Proposed Invited Paper Meetings
The scientific programme for the 54th ISI Session in Berlin in 2003 is developed by the
Programme Committees of the ISI and its five Sections.
Suggestions from the ISI Programme Committee and the five Section Programme Committees are
combined and a final selection of the topics is conducted by the ISI Programme
Co-ordinating Committee, Chaired by Susan Linacre.
The Programme Committees worked before and during the Seoul Session and produced a
tentative programme of invited paper meetings, as given below. The Committees made every
effort to strike a balance between general and specialised subjects, aiming to also cover
a broad range of important topics of current interest. The Programme Committees did this
by extensive interaction and by combining several suggestions from several Sections. As
was the case in Seoul, several guest societies are also included in this listing.
The following proposals for Invited Paper meetings have been accepted by the ISI Programme Committee (54th Session) for inclusion in the draft Scientific Programme:
