The INTERACT Steering Committee (SC) is responsible for:

  • promoting and maintaining the INTERACT conference as the premiere venue for researchers and practitioners interested in the topics of the conference (this requires a refinement of the topics above);

  • ensuring the highest quality for the contents of the event;

  • setting up the bidding process to handle the future INTERACT conferences. Decision is made up at TC 13 level;

  • providing advice to the current and future chairs and organizers of the INTERACT conference;

  • providing data, tools and documents about previous conferences to the future conference organizers;

  • selecting the reviewing system to be used throughout the conference (as this impacts the entire set of reviewers);

  • resolving general issues involved with the INTERACT conference;

  • capitalizing history (good and bad practices).
