Conditions
Organisers of Special Sessions are responsible for:
- Select a topic of interest to conference delegates.
- Obtain papers on this topic, normally at least 5 for an invited special session, but often more. At least 60% of the papers must be by authors who are neither session chairs from their team nor reviewers for the session.
- If there are insufficient papers, the final accepted papers will be moved to the general track.
- Manage the review process for these papers on due time and deadlines.
- Provide suitable reviewers for the reviews of the papers.
- Ensure the final versions of the papers are uploaded before the deadline.
- Attend the conference and chair the session.
- Provide a list of international reviewers (name, affiliation, country) who have already accepted to review the papers.
- Disseminate a call for papers for the special session widely.
