[visionlist] [IEEE IJCB 2023]: Call for Special Session Proposals

[Vitomir Struc]

*** Call for Special Session Proposals - IEEE International Joint 
Conference on Biometrics (IJCB 2023) ***

The IJCB 2023 technical program will highlight a limited number of 
Special Sessions in order to complement the regular program with new or 
emerging topics of particular interest to the Biometrics community. 
Prospective organizers of Special Sessions should submit proposals with 
the following information:

+ Special session title
+ A clear description/list of the addressed topic and the topics that 
fall within its scope
+ A description of the significance and novelty of the topic and the 
rationale for the proposed session including any possible 
interdisciplinary aspects. This should also include an answer to the 
question: why the topic of the special session should be considered in a 
separate combined session rather than the main track of the conference?
+ Names, affiliations, and a short biography of the organizers 
highlighting their expertise in the topic of the Special Session 
(relative publications list is encouraged)
+ A list of research groups currently active in that area and potential 
contributors
+ List of up to six (6) potential contributed papers (including titles, 
authors, the contact information of the corresponding author, and a 
short abstract) (if available)

Upon acceptance of the special session proposal, the call for papers for 
the special sessions will be publicized via the IJCB 2023 website and 
mailing lists. The contributed papers will be submitted in the same 
format as regular papers. Organizers should not contribute more than one 
paper. Proposals will be evaluated based on the timeliness of the topic 
and on the qualifications of the organizers. The papers in each accepted 
Special Session will undergo a review process, similar to the process 
for regular papers.
