Call for Special Session Proposals
Special sessions are being considered for ICSC2007 as an important part to supplement the regular program. The
special tracks are expected to provide an overview of the state-of-the-art in
a given area and highlight important research directions in a field of
special interest to ICSC. The topics
proposed in a special session need to be relevant to the conference and the special session
should be targeted at a focused effort rather than very broadly defined.
Each special session should be comprised of 4-8 invited papers. It is
encouraged that the session begins with an overview paper on the topic being
addressed and remaining papers follow up with technical contributions on the
topic.
The following information should be included in the proposal:
- Title
of the proposed special session.
- Names/affiliation
of organizers (including brief bio and contact info.)
- Session
abstract (state significance of topic and rationale for proposed
session.)
- Detail
information of the potential overview (tutorial-like) paper (including
name/affiliation of the presenter and tentative title.)
Proposals will be evaluated based on
the timeliness of the topic and relevance to ICSC. Please note that all papers in the proposed session will be
reviewed by session chairs and approved by special session chairs to ensure that contributions are of highest quality.
All papers accepted by the Special Sessions will be
published in the conference proceedings. Please check out the submission
instructions for manuscript preparation information.
