Special Session Organisation

  • Advertising: Once approved, it is the duty of the organizers to publicize the Special Session among researchers and practitioners in the field and attract a sufficient number of papers.
  • Review Process: Papers submitted to special sessions will undergo the same review process as regular papers. The special session chairs of the respective special session are responsible for organizing the review process, assuring at least three reviews per paper. This includes a selection of reviewers from their peers.
  • Conflict of Interest: Before starting the review process, SS organizers must explicitly declare papers which present a conflict of interest for them. A conflict of interest arises where the judgement of a paper quality can be influenced by the organizers being authors or knowing some of the authors. To ensure independent reviews, this conflict must be marked as such in the submission system and the SS Co-Chairs notified so that they can arrange the review process.
  • Restrictions: During the review process, Special Session Organizers must take into account that an individual cannot be (co‐) author of more than two papers submitted to the same Special Session, from one organizations maximum 2 organizers can be participated in one special session, maximum number of organizers in one session can be 4 and minimum 2
  • Well-Executed Special Session: Selection of a special session proposal does not guarantee final acceptance of the special session. The acceptance of a special session depends upon the quality of the papers submitted to the special session and a minimum of 6 accepted articles from at least 3 independent institutions is required for each session. If a session has too few papers, accepted papers will be allocated to regular sessions wherever possible. In case of indication of weakly organized special sessions, the conference organizers will support the organizers with advice but reserve measures including cancellation of the respective special session.
  • Complimentary Conference Registration: One Complimentary [Author: Indian or Foreign (Academia/Industry)] Registration will be provided to successful Special Sessions with at least 6 papers. The successful SS organizers must register for and attend the conference, and chair the corresponding sessions.
