GEPC Sessions At SciTech 2014
Franz-Josef Kahlen, GEPC Tech Chair
13 January 2014
Topics to be covered (not in order)
• Changes from ASM to SciTech – Opportunities for GEPC
• “Villaging”
• Venue Allocation
• Sessions
• Extended abstracts
• Keynote
• ScholarOne
Villaging / Venue Allocation
Villaging:
In the SciTech world, many previously unconnected events and groups
are coming together for the first time. The organizers want to “village“
events together that address similar audiences.
Our villagers: Applied Aero, Aircraft Design, Airbreathing Propulsion, Gas
Turbine Engines
Venues:
From experience, a 50 – 100 seater venue is much too small, and a
ballroom is too big. We have requested 170+ seat venues; we were given
the biggest venue in the confeence hotel – 600 seats.

ScholarOne
• AIAA help is usually available fast (thank you, Ann Ames)
• ScholarOne is not really set up for invited presentations.
• Many layers of authority must be activated, reviews are still required
• Changes past conference submission deadline are possible but require
significant manual intervention.
To minimize administrative post-deadline load, sessions
topics should in the future be finalized mid April
(accounting for a four week clearance period).
Abstracts
Recognizing the new environment (other TCs, PCs, etc.) and other conferences, I have asked for (but not
enforced) extended abstracts of 2 pages.
At some point, I think it would be useful to have some records of what GEPC has accomplished, if only for
documentation and archival purposes. Further, the context at SciTech will be different in that the audience
is made up from people we have not interacted with. Lastly, looking at the next five years, I expect that the
format of the sessions will change and that we will end up with a full review process like many other
groups. I have seen it in other conferences that you need to provide some track record to reach the next
levels of maturity. Therefore, I believe it will be helpful to get some groundwork covered already today.
Questions to raise:
SciTech structure:
• Morning and evening “shoulders“ take up much time and reduce session
durations – does this add value for attendees?
• Villaging
• Venue size
• Earlier commitment - speakers / chairs / topics / AIAA admin
Future GEPC format:
• Should we join the formal call for papers?
• Is there a desired target size for GEPC – no. of papers or sessions
• No. of invited sessions? No. of regular sessions?
• Do we have a reviewer database?
• Role of sub-committees (invite keynotes, create and organize invited
sessions, …)
• PC meeting format – meeting slot mutually exclusive with “co-villagers”
Personal word of thanks
I could not have put these sessions together
without the initiative of the session chairs,
and certainly not without Richard Wahls
soliciting proposals and help in general.
Thanks much!
P&E 2014
• A few words of status from Ruben Del Rosario
• July 28-30, 2014
• Cleveland Medical Mart & Convention Center

GEPC Conference Strategy – OLD EVENT MODEL
• Green Engineering – spans scope of the TC’s
• Create a “Green Engineering” Track at conferences
 Target JPC and ASM (SciTech & P&E Forum beginning in 2014)
 Add value, but minimize additional room space required
• Sponsor/create several technical paper/panel sessions appropriate to
Green Engineering
 Avoid open “call for papers” and reviews … for now.
• Co-sponsor/leverage technical paper/panel sessions appropriate to
Green Engineering created by TC’s
• GEPC has primarily been in the Technical Program Sessions
11
GEPC Conference Strategy – NEW EVENT MODEL
• Green Engineering – a PC that spans scope of the TC’s
• Forums have 3 Tiers
 Plenary, Integration, Technical
 Integration (ideal for PC cross-cutting, system-view contribution)
 Technical (tech sessions as have historically existed)
• Recommended approach for GEPC
 Contribute to SciTech, Aviation, and P&E Forums
 Integration Tier and Technical Program
• Integration Tier – suggest/sponsor specific sessions (1/forum?)
• Technical Program
 Invited Sessions as we have done
 Participate in the formal Call for Papers to create 2 to 4 sessions

SciTech 14 Meeting Notes
1.

3.
Mark Melanson – the lead for Program Committees - discussed the Integration Tier
Rich Wahls and Franz-Joseph Kahle briefed us on Conference status and plans. Chris Hughes
volunteered to represent the GEPC at P&E 15.
We had extensive discussions about our first “call for papers” being for SciTech15. Concerns
were too much overlap with other committees and our ability to review abstracts. We agreed to
develop a draft call for papers and run it by the P&E leadership.

Guiding principles for AIAA forums
• Ensure our Institute is relevant to aerospace professionals
• Ensure our conferences integrate a spectrum of topics of interest
to the profession (technical disciplines, systems, policy,
operations, etc.) and other areas of the Institute
• Ensure our overall events provide meaningful professional
development and interaction opportunities to the broad
aerospace community (conference papers/presentations,
networking, education, exhibits, etc.)
• Ensure our events are financially viable (both for the attendee
and for the Institute)
• Ensure that our conferences are “must attend” events for all
those in our profession and can accommodate expansion into
new technology and program areas
26
What do we want to accomplish with the Integration Tier?
• Expand the products that AIAA offers at its events to a
broader swath of aerospace professionals than the R&D
community, to whom it has most appealed historically
• Entice design engineers, analysts, systems engineers, etc.,
to join AIAA, or to become active if already a member, by
offering compelling and topical subject matter, speakers and
presenters
• Bridge gap between plenary and technical sessions and offer
relevant and instructive topics and materials to the great
number of aerospace professionals who may not think of, or
see, AIAA as offering much to them in terms of professional
career development, training, or networking
27
What is the Integration Tier anyway?
• Content










Operational topics
System integration
Technical program management topics
Cross-disciplinary topics
Emerging technologies
Test, verification, reliability, safety, quality issues
Policy and regulation topics
Workforce and professional development issues
Supply chain discussions
Topics related to the intersection of government/industry/
academia
28
What is the Integration Tier anyway?
• Format
 Not envisioned as traditional technical paper sessions
but as sessions to allow dialogue and provide
information that participants can apply at work
 Includes various format types including but not limited
to:
– Panel discussions focused on lessons learned, best
practices, and case studies
– Tutorials, seminars, workshops
– Joint sessions typical at current conferences when multiple
committees have an interest in the same topic
29
How to build a strong Integration Tier
• Must be a combination of member and staff efforts
• Technical Group Directors have the big picture about their
areas and can help identify topics
• Program Committees have insight into relevant topics in
their area
• Corporate members have insight into industry issues
• Emerging Technologies Committee can help identify new
trends in technology
• Staff has insight into industry wide trends and movements
• Students/professors have insight into academic/education
topics
30
Outcomes of a well executed Integration Tier
• Creation of new technical communities in AIAA
• Creation of new program communities in AIAA
• AIAA recognized as being on the forefront of industry
issues
• AIAA provides valuable workforce/professional
development information to members/attendees
• AIAA viewed as relevant–attracting more members
• We all go home from AIAA forums a bit more informed
about a wider variety of topics
