FULL PAPERS (FOR PROPOSED SPECIAL SESSIONS)
PROPOSAL SUBMISSION DEADLINE: JANUARY 10 17, 2022
NOTIFICATION OF ACCEPTANCE: JANUARY 31, 2022
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: MARCH 15, 2022
NOTIFICATION OF ACCEPTANCE: MAY 30, 2022
CAMERA-READY DEADLINE: JUNE 15, 2022
Prospective special session organisers are invited to submit a proposal via the main conference’s submission system. The organisers of the accepted special sessions will be responsible for the high-quality peer-review of the submitted papers according to IEEE standards (i.e. at least 2 anonymous peer-reviews). The organisers will be Associate Editors (AE) for the proposed session, and they will be responsible for assigning reviewers and judging the submitted paper for the special session.
Proposals should include the following information:
- Title: Please propose a title that shows the relevance of the session for the RO-MAN community and the innovativeness of the proposed topic.
- Aims and scope: Please explain why the chosen topic is novel and relevant, with the potential to contribute to the growth of the RO-MAN community, and is also suitable for either the conference theme or a new emerging theme with potentially high impact.
- Tentative speakers: Please provide a list of prospective contributing authors and tentative titles. Special Sessions are normally expected to have 4 to 6 papers. Invited speakers or session-related demonstrations (such as renowned speakers or industrial talks) could be a part of the Special Session.
- Organisers and biographies: Please provide a short bio-sketch of the session organisers including their experience in the topic of the Special Session.
The primary criteria in the evaluation of special session proposals will be the timeliness of the topics, the quality, track record, and diversity of the proposers and speakers, the coherence of the proposal, the novelty or creativity, and the expected value added to the overall conference. Aspects of diversity that will be considered include the age, gender, national origin, background, and workplace of the proposers and speakers. We will give priority to proposals that fully follow these requirements. Moreover, we encourage the submission of special sessions organized by communities that are under-represented within the RO-MAN activities.
For any questions and further information about the Special Session proposal, please email info@roman2022.
