Programme Schedule

I am involved in the programme sub-committee for another international conference that is happening in early January 2018. All I can say it is a nightmare scheduling the programme. We had extremely late, and incomplete data to work with. Other than that, still had to contend with colleagues who only knew how to talk but nowhere to be found when work needs to be done.

Scheduling

Yesterday, a group of us worked together for close to 4 hours to do the scheduling for the paper sessions for our coming RPC conference 2017. It was not an easy job as we had to group papers into threes with certain criteria in mind as well as taking note of special requests made by presenters. 
We managed to group over 350 papers into 3 days. 
Thanks to a great bunch of people who came together at short notice and working well together! :)
