Proposals must be submitted to our ConfTool Submission Server. Special Session papers will be reviewed by at least two members of the special session's program committee, and acceptance decisions will be made by the conference program co-chairs and Special Sessions Chair. Organizers of special sessions will work closely with the Special Sessions Chair, and are expected to respond promptly and communicate regularly in order to maximize the potential impact of the track.
Proposals must be made using the special session proposal template (including the necessary information, such as title, organizer(s), special session's program committee, etc.), which is available at http://icl-conference.org/current/documents/Special_Session_Proposal_Submission_Template.docx. If the proposal will be accepted, it will be used as basis for the call for special session papers.
A special session will include at least 5 papers and the review process is under the responsibility of the person organizing the special session (i.e. session chair). In that case, we offer a discount in the registration fee for one special session chair. Special session that fails to attract sufficient papers will be merged into the general conference or suitable alternative session.
