Special Session Proposals
The Fusion 2007 Organizing Committee invites proposals for special sessions, to be included in the technical program of the conference (July, 9-11 2007).
Special sessions provide an opportunity to focus on a specific topic such as an innovative theoretical approach for Information Fusion, a particular non-classical application or a state of the art in a particular domain.
Submission
Prospective organizers of a special session must notify the Special Session Chair of their intention by sending him 1 to 3 pages containing the following information:
-
Basic information:
Title of the special session, contact information for the
organizer(s) (name, email address, affiliation), keywords, and scope
or objective of the proposed special session. -
Abstract: A
brief description of the session, suitable for inclusion in the
conference registration brochure.
-
Topic of interest:
Full description of the proposed special session explaining its
potential interest for the information fusion community, as well as
the benefit sought by deepening this particular topic.
-
Organizers' biography:
A brief resume of the organizer(s), highlighting the background in
the proposed special session area.
The evaluation of the proposal will mainly be based on its general interest for Fusion 2007 attendees and the quality of the proposal.
Special session papers will follow the same review process and deadlines as regular papers. http://www.fusion2007.org
Please see Special Sessions program.
Responsibilities
Special session organizers will be responsible for the following:
-
Publicising the session and finding enough papers
so that the session can be held
-
Chairing the special session at Fusion 2007.
