A special session is a group of 6 papers (or multiple of 6), organized on the initiative of any volunteer proposing no more than 2 papers inside. Special session topics must be in areas consistent with those of the CollaborateCom 2017 conference theme.
CollaborateCom 2017 will feature a significant number of Special Sessions on emerging topics and cutting edge technologies in the ares of industrial electronics. Researchers in the area of Special Sessions are invited to submit their papers.
In order to prevent Special Sessions from drawing papers from Regular Tracks, the Special Sessions on topics not specific enough and/or too general will be rejected.
