Call for Special Session Proposals
Special sessions supplement the regular program for ICME 2010. They are intended to cover new and emerging topics in the fields of multimedia. Each special session should provide an overview of the state-of-the-art and highlight important research directions in a field of special interest to ICME participants. It should be a focused effort rather than defined broadly.
Requirements
Each special session should consist of 5 papers. It is encouraged that the session begins with an overview paper on the topic being addressed and that the remaining papers follow up with technical contributions on the topic.
The following information should be included in the proposal:
- Title of the proposed special session;
- Names/affiliations of the organizers (including brief bios and contact info);
- Session abstract (including significance of the topic and the rationale for the proposed session);
- List of invited authors (including a tentative title and a 300-word abstract for each paper).
Proposals will be evaluated based on the timeliness of the topic and relevance to ICME, as well as the qualification of the organizers and quality of papers in the proposed session. Please note that all papers in the proposed session should be reviewed to ensure that the contributions are of the highest quality. Once the proposal has been approved, the organizers as well as the special session chairs will arrange the review process.
