Special sessions can cover subjects or cross-subjects belonging to the topics of interest, or novel topics related with the ones identified within the topics of interest.

Organization of Special Sessions

  • Once the Special Session has been approved, it is the responsibility of the Organizers to publicize among researchers, academicians and practitioners in the field, about it and to attract a good number of high quality research papers.
  • Papers submitted to special sessions will undergo the same review process as regular papers. The special session organizers of the respective special session are responsible for organizing the review process, assuring at least three reviews per paper.

Conflict of Interest

Before starting the review process, special session organizers must explicitly declare papers which present a conflict of interest for them. Such cases may be brought to the notice of the Special Session Co-Chair(s) so that he/she can arrange for the independent review process.

Restrictions

During the review process, Special Session Organizers must take into account that:
  • An individual cannot be (co‐) author of more than two papers submitted to the same Special Session.
  • The Organizers can contribute a maximum of two papers in their special session.
  • The Organizers’ contribution does not count toward reaching the minimum threshold of 6 papers.

    • Successful Special Session

    For each session, there must be a minimum of 6 accepted and registered papers with authors from two different countries and at least three independent universities (other than the organizers' institutions). In the event that a session has too few papers, the accepted papers will be assigned to regular sessions wherever feasible. In the case of poorly planned special sessions, the conference organizers will offer guidance and reserve the right to take appropriate action, such as calling off the relevant special session.

    Complementary Conference Registration

    Organizers of successful Special Sessions must register for and attend the conference and chair the corresponding sessions. It must be noted that organizers of special season for SSDEE-2025 can be able to take the benefit of ONE FREE REGISTRATION for submitting potential manuscript.

    Session Chairs

    When a Special Session is finally accepted by the conference, Special Session organizers will serve as Session Chairs in the conference. In the unlikely event that the organizers of the Special Session are unable to attend the conference, the Technical Program Chair and the Conference General Chair may assume all responsibility for selecting the Session Chairs.
