UPoN 2005 Organization

The Organizing Committee for UPoN is primarily composed of Engineering and Science Faculty members from the Lecce University with Prof. Lino Reggiani as the Conference Chair. Other members of the Organizing Committee include Prof. Cecilia Pennetta from the Science Faculty, Dr. Eleonora Alfinito from the Engineering Faculty and Dr. Maria Leuzzi from the Department of Innovation Engineering.

The Scientific Committee is formed by respected members of the Noise and Fluctuation community and is updated at any Conference in conjunction with its announcement. The duty of the Scientific Committee is to propose contributions focusing subjects under controversy and/or still open to solution (up to 3 titles and speakers for each member), and to act as referee. Contributed papers (extended abstracts up to 3 pages) will be called by the Conference and will undergo a double-blind refereeing process to promote invited, and acceptance as oral or poster.

In order to avoid parallel sessions and to ensure lively general discussions, the total number of participants will be limited to approximately 200. Social program for accompany people will be organized.

Conference Proceedings

The proceedings of the conference will be published by the American Institute of Physics (AIP) as a 6x9 inch format volume in the AIP Series of Conference Proceedings.
