Call for Special Sessions
Special sessions enable gathering a set of results more focused on a particular topic, which can be next presented and discussed within a separate session during the conference. Thus, we encourage the researchers to organize a special session according to their research specialty. A special session proposal (a single page in the pdf file) should include the following information: a session title, the data of organizers, a short abstract, a detailed thematic scope. Please, send the proposals of the special session directly to the Special Sessions Chair: Dariusz.Horla@put.poznan.pl
Note: the special sessions organizers are expected to advertise their proposal in order to attract about 4-6 papers for the session (in the case of an insufficient number of papers submitted to the session, the organizers can merge the papers into a general session in a final program).
