Call for Special Sessions

The CYBCONF 2015 invites proposals for Special Sessions to be held during the conference. It intends to provide researchers in focused areas the opportunity to present and discuss their work, as well as to offer a forum for interaction among a broader community of researchers. A Special Session will consist of a group of papers in a sub-discipline of all aspects of Cybernetics and its applications related to the main topics of CYBCONF 2015. The papers will be required to meet the same standards as CYBCONF 2015 papers and will be published in the conference proceedings, available on IEEE Xplore.

All the Special Sessions will be centralized as tracks in the same conference submission and reviewing Easy Chair system as the regular papers.

Please send the Special Session proposals to cybconf2015@conferences.am.gdynia.pl with the following information:

  • title,
  • acronym,
  • short description,
  • list of topics,
  • chair (or co-chairs),
  • special session program committee (to be invited).

The form is accessible here.

The organizers will be responsible for the advertisement and promotion of the special session and the conference. The management of papers review will be achieved by Special Session Committees, using the Conference System (a separate EasyChair track will be provided for each Special Session & Workshop). The organizers are responsible for managing the review process. All the reviews should be submitted through the EasyChair system. Each paper should obtain at least two reviews. At least 5 papers should be accepted by session organizers. The final decision as for the acceptance will be taken by the CYBCONF 2015 Program Committee based on recommendations provided by Special Session organizers.
