Additional information

Each Special Session should consist of a minimum of one session, with each session including 6 presentations. The number of sessions for a specific Special Session will be determined by the number of papers submitted to that session. If the minimum number of presentations is not secured, the Special Session will not take place and the papers submitted to that session will be included in regular conference sessions.

After a Special Session has been accepted, authors contributing to the session shall submit their full papers in due time using the standard conference procedures. Papers submitted to Special Sessions will undergo the same review process as regular papers.

The organizers of the Special Sessions are expected to attend the conference and chair their sessions.
