Prospective organizers of special sessions should submit proposals indicating:
Title of the session
Description of the event and relevance to the CAMAD 2012 workshop scope; motivation and rationale; scope and main topics to be covered; intended schedule, and; prior history of the proposed session (if applicable).
Short biography of the organizers
Intended audience
Each special session will consist of a minimum of 5 papers and a maximum of 8. The organizers' role is to attract the speakers and chair the session itself.
Interested contributors should forward their proposal form (containing at least the points indicated above) to the Special Sessions Chairs of CAMAD 2012 [Dr. Javier Del Ser, javier.delser@tecnalia.com, and Mr. Elias Tragos, etragos@ics.forth.gr] with the subject line “[CAMAD 2010] Special session (name of proposal)”.
Acceptance of the received proposals will be decided and notified in a continuous fashion (i.e. 1-2 working days after receiving the proposal).
No proposals will be accepted beyond April 1st, 2012.
Authors of papers included in successful proposals should submit a manuscript on or before May 1st, 2012. Manuscripts should conform to the formatting and electronic submission guidelines of regular CAMAD 2012 papers. They will undergo the same review process as regular papers by at least 3 independent reviewers.
