Special Sessions

About Special Sessions

Special Session Organization is highly encouraged. The goal of these special sessions is to provide a forum for focused discussions on new topics or innovative applications of established approaches within the theme of the conference. The theme of the conference is given in CFP Tab. Each organized special session should have a minimum of 10 registered papers. The session organizers have full authority in soliciting and accepting papers for the session.

Each session is limited to no more than 4 organizers and the session organizer can designate a chair and a co-chair for the session. The allocated presentation time for each paper is 15 minutes which includes the time for questions from the audience.

Please submit your special session proposals by email to the conference chairs at chairciscom@gmail.com. The proposals should include:

  1.  Special Session Title
  2.  A short description (2-3 lines) & covered topics
  3.  Session organizer(s) with their affiliation

All the special session proposals will be reviewed by conference organizers and TPC chairs and the accepted proposal will be notified to the organizers within one week from the submission date. Once the proposal is accepted it will appear under this tab with the special session name and their organizer. The last date to receive proposal for special session is 10th April, 2026.

An Honorarium of 10% of the total registration amount collected for the registered paper in that special session will be provided to the session organizer (please note that a minimum of 10 papers should be registered and presented (either online or offline) to run a special session)

Important Notes

  • A dedicated track will be created in CMT for submission of paper in each special session. Special Session organizers are requested to communicate the same to their authors while doing publicity for their session.
  •  If for a special session, the number of received papers is less than 10, then all those papers in that special session will be considered as a regular submission.
