Special Session Requirements

Each special session should comprise of 5 papers. The following information should be included in the proposal:

• Title of the proposed special session.
  
  
• Names/affiliation of the organizers (including brief bio and contact info).
  
  
• Session abstract (state significance of the topic and the rationale for the proposed session).
  
  
• List of invited papers (including a tentative title, author list and a 300-words abstract for each paper).
  
  
  

The conference will allow any other people, who are not on the invited list, to submit papers to the special session. All papers in the proposed session will be reviewed through the same review process as the regular papers of the conference to ensure that the contributions are of high scientific quality. If a special session has more than 5 papers being accepted, some of the papers will be moved to the regular paper sessions of the conference.
Proposals will be evaluated based on the timeliness of the topic and relevance to SITA 2015, as well as the qualifications of the organizers and quality of papers in the proposed session. Once the proposal has been approved, the organizer(s) as well as the special session co-chairs will arrange the review process.Previous
