3-3-28 (2019-05-12) Call for Special Sessions at ICASSP 2019
  

Call for Special Session Proposals

 

The program for ICASSP 2019 will include Special Sessions that complement the traditional program with new and emerging  topics of interest to the signal-processing community, especially those in line with our theme of Empowering Science and Technology for Humankind . The aim of a special session is to provide an overview of the state-of-the-art as well as to highlight current research directions and challenges in specific fields of signal processing.

Prospective organizers of Special Sessions should submit proposals indicating:
  • Title of the Special Session
  • Motivation, indicating the novelty of the topic and why it is timely
  • Short biography of the organizers
  •  List of six (6) contributed papers (including titles, authors, contact information of the corresponding author, and a short abstract of each contribution). Each organizer may not contribute more than one paper, and organizers should contact the authors of contributed papers and secure their participation prior to submission of the proposal
Only a maximum of three organizers per Special Session is permitted.

Proposals will be evaluated based on the timeliness and attractiveness of the topic as well as on the quality of the organizers and the authors of the contributed papers.

Special session proposals are due by September 10, 2018, and notification of accepted proposals will be on September 24, 2018. As with regular conference papers, five page papers for approved Special Sessions must be submitted by October 29, 2018.

The papers in each accepted Special Session will undergo a review process identical to that of regular papers. It is the responsibility of the organizers to ensure that their Special Session papers meet ICASSP quality standards. In case a paper in a Special Session does not meet the expected quality, it will be rejected, and an effort will be made to draw papers from the regular-submission process to fill the gap. If too few papers for a given Special Session are accepted in the review process, and we are unable to find suitable substitutes from the regular review pool, the Special Session may be cancelled?in such a case, the accepted papers from a cancelled Special Session will be placed into the regular program.

Inquiries about Special Sessions can be sent to specialsessions@icassp2019.com and the submissions can be made through https://2019.ieeeicassp.org.
