Dear Dr. Gil,
With reference to your email, I am chairing the SE
conference.  Each paper is reviewed by at least two
persons.  Based upon the results, the papers are
divided into accepted, rejected and borderline papers.
 The borderline papers are ranked and final selections
are made based upon factors such as novelty, the
topic, the possibility of improving the paper by the
final deadline, the maximum number of papers which can
be accepted due to space limitatios.  
There is no program committee meeting.  If assistance
is needed from a specialist concerning a certain
paper, he or she is contacted. All those who review
papers are indicated as committee members. These
include members of IASTED technical committees and
some authors.  If you act as a reviewer, your name
will be included as a member of the program committee.
Yours sincerely

Mohamed  Hamza
