Welcome Message from<br />
Technical <strong>Program</strong> Co-Chairs<br />
Welcome from <strong>the</strong> Technical <strong>Program</strong> Committee<br />
The Technical <strong>Program</strong> Committee welcomes you to Seattle and to <strong>the</strong> 2012<br />
<strong>IEEE</strong> <strong>Global</strong> <strong>Humanitarian</strong> <strong>Technology</strong> Conference. We have worked hard to<br />
develop a truly international program featuring keynote speakers, panelists,<br />
papers and posters from across <strong>the</strong> spectrum of humanitarian engineering and<br />
technology.<br />
This year we received over one hundred full paper submissions from authors<br />
affiliated with NGOs, corporations, and universities. Over sixty reviewers<br />
participated in <strong>the</strong> peer-review process. The final program contains sessions<br />
focused on health; energy; education; water and agriculture; disaster response<br />
and preparation; communication and connectivity; and o<strong>the</strong>r specialized topics.<br />
We hope that you find <strong>the</strong> conference beneficial to you and your organization’s<br />
mission in <strong>the</strong> humanitarian technology space. Finally, we encourage you to<br />
become involved in next year’s conference. Please consider submitting a paper,<br />
serving as a reviewer or becoming involved in <strong>the</strong> organizing committee.<br />
