Call for Special Session Proposals

 

The FUZZ-IEEE 2005 Organizing Committee invites proposals for special sessions to be held during the conference taking place May 22-25 2005, in Reno Nevada.

 

Each special session proposal should be well focused and motivated. It should consist of a list of four to six papers. Each paper in the list must have a title, names of authors with e-mails/Web sites, and an abstract. The special session organizer's contact information should also be included. All special session organizers must obtain firm commitments from their special session presenters and authors to submit papers in a timely fashion and, of course, to present them at FUZZ-IEEE 2005 (if the special session is accepted). The special session organizers will be responsible for the quality of the special session papers. They are expected to obtain three reviews for each paper and make recommendations on the papers to the program chairs based on the review reports. The program co-chairs will make the final decision on the papers. All accepted papers will be published in the FUZZ-IEEE 2005 Proceedings.
 

Authors who planned papers for special sessions which were not accepted can submit their papers as regular submissions (the deadline is December 20, 2005).

 

NOTE:  For the special sessions, restrictions on the number of pages, charges for extra pages, as well as the registration requirements will be the same as those for regular sessions.
 

Proposals should be submitted in ELECTRONIC FORM to:

 

            Nik Pal (nikhil@isical.ac.in) and Raghu Krishnapuram (kraghura@in.ibm.com) Program Co-Chairs.
