Call for Special Sessions

In this new VIRTUAL format, there will be no Special Sessions

 

A full list of topics is available here.

Special Sessions may address one or more Tracks, but they should be organised under a unified theme.  Special Sessions are intended to allow projects or any other group of authors to present their own work.

Special Sessions may include one invited speaker, besides papers.  Proposers are responsible for defining the full contents of the Special Session, namely the authors and presenters.  It is not expected that open calls for papers are launched for Special Sessions, in order to attract authors or presenters.

Special Sessions papers can be either Extended Abstracts (2 pages) or Full Papers (5 pages), and should be reviewed by the Special Sessions organisers.  These papers will be part of the Conference Proceedings, but they will not be submitted to IEEE Xplore.

Special Sessions proposals should be submitted via a specific template, available below.  Proposers should provide information on the Title, Duration, Motivation and Background, and Structure.  Additional information on specific promotion can also be provided, if applicable.

All participants and speakers in the Special Sessions, regardless of the nature of their presentation, including organisers, must pay the registration fee.

Special Sessions extend for a conference time-slot, i.e., 1h40, and they will be held during the conference, in parallel to regular sessions.

Special Sessions will be evaluated according to the following criteria:
– Relevance
– Timeliness
– Technical content
– Novelty
– Overall Recommendation

The proposal must be submitted from 2020 Jan.13th until the deadline on 2020 Feb.7th 21th , to specialsessions-eucnc2020@inov.pt

The name of the file should be the Special Session title (abbreviated, if necessary).
