This page describes my international,
national, and local service in the USA only.
Memberships in International Program Committees
I served as a member of International
Program Committees for several international conferences. My responsibilities as
a member of such international committees usually were to help organize
the conference program and to peer review the incoming papers. I have been asked
to be a peer reviewer for papers that were sent to a number of conferences.
Among conferences where I was (for one still be a member for this time) are:
 |
The 20th International Conference on Modeling and
Simulation (MS 2009), session "Applications of Modeling and
Simulation". Banff, Canada. July 6 – 8, 2009. |
 | The International Conference on Modeling and
Simulation, (Asia MS 2007), Beijing, China, October 8-10, 2007. |
 | The International Conference on Environmental Modeling and Simulation
(EMS’06) St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, USA. November 29–December 1, 2006. |
 | The Climate Change Technology Conference: Engineering Challenges and
Solutions in the 21st Century (CCC’06), Ottawa, Canada. May 9-12, 2006. |
 | The International Conference on Environmental Modeling and Simulation
(EMS’04), St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, USA. November 22-24, 2004. |
Chairing of sessions at international conferences
