Special Session Details

A special session will typically include 4-6 papers. It is expected that Special Session Organizers engage with their research community to promote their special session and thus support an appropriate number of quality submissions to ensure sufficient coverage of the Special Session topic at the conference. No more than one paper is allowed per organizer and each paper must be presented by an author to be included. For a special session with less than 5 accepted papers, regular submissions may be used to complete the session. Also papers associated with the special session may be placed in the regular program.

If a high number of accepted papers occurs, multiple sessions be created across the technical program. Special session paper submissions shall be reviewed via the same process as submissions to the regular program, and papers are expected to me quality standards.
