Call for Special Session Proposals

The aim of a special session is to provide an overview of the state-of-the-art and current research directions in specific fields of image and signal processing and analysis.

Special Session Program

Special sessions consist of six papers as a target number (20 minutes each time slot), but a minimum of four and a maximum of eight papers are also acceptable. A special session paper can be a regular paper or an invited paper. Regular special session papers are unsolicited papers submitted by an author. The special session organizer may invite a distinguished researcher to submit an invited paper. Normally, there can be one or at most two such invited papers per special session, unless another agreement is made with the ISPA Special Session Chair.

Paper Submission Process

Authors submit papers for special sessions through ISPA online submission system by marking the check box on the submission page corresponding to the desired special session. Authors should follow the author instructions for regular ISPA papers. The deadline for online paper submission for special sessions is the same as the deadline for regular papers.

Review Process

Regular special session papers are subject to international peer-review process, in the same way as all other regular ISPA submissions. Invited paper(s) are reviewed by the special session organizer. Accepted special session papers will be published in the symposium proceedings in the same length and format as regular ISPA papers.
