Special Topics Sessions

You can also submit a proposal to organize a special topics session, workshop, and/or tutorial. The of organizing a special topic session is that it brings together researchers and audience together to discuss a specific research question of interest and/or share your research efforts with others who have worked in the same area. These sessions could result in joint research efforts and/or co-authorship of journal articles. Special topics session are highly beneficial if they are well organized.

Proposals to organize a special topic session should include the following information: name and address, e-mail of proposer, title of session, a 100-word description of the topic of the session, and a short description on how the session will be advertised. Usually, session proposers solicit papers from colleagues and researchers whose work is known to the session proposer.

Each special topic session will have at least 3 paper. The session chairs will be responsible for all aspects of their sessions; including, soliciting papers, reviewing, selecting, etc. The review process for invited sessions will strictly follow the review process for regular submission. Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and contribution. Each paper will be exposed to a full blind peer review by two reviewers in the topical area. Final camera-ready papers will be reviewed by one reviewer. Papers must not have been previously published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere.

The efforts of the Special Topics Sessions' Organizers will be recognized during the conference and their names will appear on the conference proceedings as Associate Editors
