A special session is a group of 6 papers (or multiple of 6), organized on the initiative of any volunteer proposing NO MORE than 2 papers inside. Special session topics must be in areas consistent with those of the conference. Proposals on Education are more than welcome. Any potential organizer (or group of organizers: max. 2) has to complete the following tasks:

■ provide Special Sessions Co-Chairs with a provisional title of the special session
■ send a “Call for Papers” dedicated to that special session to Special Sessions Co-Chairs (one PDF page as the one provided in the conference website): deadline December 31, 2013
■ send a potential list of authors to invite them to submit
■ send a list of potential reviewers (3 per paper) to facilitate the review process

If less than 6 papers will be submitted before the end of the deadline, the papers will be dropped in the different tracks to be reviewed as regular contributions.

All proposals should be submitted to the Special Sessions Co-Chairs:

Luca Zarri: luca.zarri2@unibo.it  
Kay Hameyer: Kay.Hameyer@iem.RWTH-Aachen.de  
Humberto Henao: Humberto.Henao@u-picardie.fr

Please do follow the Special Session proposal form: Word, PDF

Deadline for Special Session proposals: December 31, 2013

Deadline for uploading provisional full papers (Special Sessions): same as regular papers
