Professors and academic group leaders are invited to submit a proposal online; the goal of the Special Session is to create a platform for a more intensive scientific exchange amongst researchers interested in a particular topic. Special sessions complement the depth-oriented technical sessions by providing participants with broad overviews of emerging fields.
Organization of special sessions:
-All submitted papers undergo the same review process, and submission to proposed sessions is not a guarantee of acceptance.
-A special session will generally include at least 4 and a maximum of 6 papers
-If the special session does not have sufficient number of papers accepted, then the special session may be canceled, and the accepted papers submitted to the special session would be shared within other regular sessions of the area.
-The final decision as for the acceptance will be taken by the ICESA 2025 Program Committee based on recommendations provided by Special Session organizers.
Conference Registration Waiver
-Organizers of successful Special Sessions must register for and attend the conference and chair the corresponding sessions. One complimentary full registration for successful Special Sessions with at least 6 accepted and registered papers will be provided.
