Call for Special Sessions & Workshops

ICCCI 2015 invites proposals for Workshops & Special Sessions to be held during the conference. They intend to provide researchers in focused areas the opportunity to present and discuss their work, as well as to offer a forum for interaction among a broader community of researchers. A Special Session or Workshop will consist of a group of papers in a sub-discipline of Computational Collective Intelligence related to the main topics of ICCCI 2015. The papers will be required to meet the same standards as ICCCI 2015 papers and will be published in the conference proceedings, in a bound volume by Springer-Verlag in their Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series. All the Special Sessions and Doctoral Track will be centralized as tracks in the same conference submission and reviewing system as the regular papers.

Please send the Workshop / Special Session proposals to Alberto Núñez (alberto.nunez@pdi.ucm.es) and Bogdan Trawiński (bogdan.trawinski@pwr.edu.pl) with the following information:

• Title & acronym of the special session & workshop
• Brief profiles of special session & workshop organizers
• General description of the special session & workshop scope
• List of topics
• Proposed Session Program Committee (to be invited)

The organizers will be responsible for the advertisement and promotion of the special session and the conference including the Special Session & Workshop webpage preparation. The management of papers review will be achieved by Special Session & Workshop Committees, using the Conference System (a separate EasyChair track will be provided for each Special Session & Workshop). The organizers are responsible for managing the review process. All the reviews should be submitted through EasyChair.

Each paper should obtain at least two reviews.
