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 the dedicated Online Form – https://forms.gle/DLHjZUvGxWrak3DVA. Proposers should provide information on the Title, Duration, Motivation and Background, and Structure. Additional information on specific promotion can also be provided, if applicable.
In case of any problems with online form submission, please contact the Special Sessions Co-Chairs, Čedomir Stefanović (AAU, DK), Nurul Huda Mahmood (Univ. Oulu – 6G Flagship, FI) and Filipe Cardoso (Polytech. Inst. Setubal, PT) by submitting the Contact Form below.
Special Sessions extend for a conference time-slot, i.e., 1h30, and they will be held during the conference, in parallel to Regular Sessions.
All participants and speakers in the Special Sessions, regardless of the nature of their presentation, including organisers, must pay the registration fee.
Special Sessions will be evaluated according to the following criteria:
– Relevance
– Timeliness
– Technical content
– Novelty
– Overall Recommendation
The proposal must be submitted from 2025 Dec.29th until the deadline on 2026 Jan. 23rd . An acknowledgement email will be sent.
