GENERAL INFORMATION:

Prospective Organizers are invited to submit proposals for Special Sessions at TSP 2016 Conference. Proposals are due through the form below by February 10, 2016.

For a Special Session proposal to be considered for acceptance at TSP 2016 Conference, the proposed topic needs to be an emerging area in telecommunications or signal processing. The topic should be timely and significantly important to the technical audience, and the speakers need to convey compelling information about the topic. The proposals will be evaluated by the ability to introduce the area to large telecommunications and signal processing community, further develop the area, and help establishing a larger research community beyond the area.

Each Special Session will be 90 minutes long and will usually consist of 5 oral presentations. Other formats may be possible, including panel discussions, demos, or poster presentations.

The Organizer’s role is to invite the speakers, help with reviews, and chair the session itself.

Each speaker invited to a Special Session will be required to submit a paper, under the regular submission requirements, by the regular submission deadline. These papers will enter the same system as regular papers, and be subject to reviews. The Organizer will be asked to help with selection of reviewers and in consultation with the program committee will make accept/reject decisions. It is possible that some invited papers may be rejected. However, this is expected to be a rare case since the Organizer should recruit only the high-quality papers to the Special Session.

The invited speakers as well as the Organizer will be required to register for the conference. Registration fees will not be waived and there will be no honoraria available through TSP.

Questions regarding Special Sessions may be addressed to Assoc. Prof. Norbert Herencsar at tsp@feec.vutbr.cz.
