Submit a Special Session Proposal
Each session proposal should include an
abstract together with a background and
justification paragraph (approx. 200 words),
where the session organizers elaborate on
the motivation behind the special session,
the quality and potential impact of the
committed papers in the proposed session,
and the technical committee most closely
allied with the proposal.
Each proposal should also include a title,
Short description of the proposed special
session, related topics, and Short Biography
of Organizers. The complete proposal should
be limited to no more than 2 pages. A
special session is expected to address
topics that may not naturally arise out of
the regular submissions to the conference
through the technical committees. The
justification for the proposal should
explain why a special session is needed to
address the proposed topic.
No individual can appear as author or
co-author on more than one paper in a single
special session. An exemption can be made
when the first paper is an overview paper
(preferably by the organizers). In this
case, the co-authors of the first paper can
be co-authors of one additional paper in the
same session. CECCC2026 will require
in-person presentation of all accepted
papers, and hence there must be one author
of each accepted paper available to present
it in-person.
