FDL 2017

Professionals are invited to submit proposals for Special Sessions. Special Sessions should focus on a topic which is of particular interest to the FDL audience. Special Sessions consist of two to four invited talks. Speakers are requested to either submit a one page abstract of their presentation, or to submit a short or full paper that goes through the regular review and publication process. Potential organizers of a Special Session must submit a brief proposal (no more than two pages) which describes the topic, the intended audience, as well as a list of possible speakers to fdl2017@easychair.org

- Special session organizer has to contact possible contributors or will make sure that their special session will have a sufficient number of submissions
- Propose special session title to the Program Chair: titles are advertised on the conference web page
- After submission deadline the review process is conducted
- The PC decides on the acceptance/rejection of all papers (both regular and special session papers)
- The Program Chair informs the special session organizers about the outcome on the papers of their sessions
- The special session organizer decides what papers to include to his/her session. This may include the originally proposed ones as well as (accepted) other papers submitted to this special session. If the special session organizer does not want to add an accepted paper (e.g., there is no more space), it will be scheduled in a regular session. Besides that, the special session organizer can also add rejected papers (e.g., from the initial special session proposal), however these papers will not be published in IEEE Xplore.
