Call for Special Session Proposals

CHANDICON 2026 will provide an excellent forum for the dissemination of the latest research and ideas in a wide range of Science, Engineering and Technology. The conference is keen to disseminate state-of-the-art knowledge on specialist and latest topics related to the theme of the conference through dedicated Special Sessions.

Submission of proposals for such Special Sessions for CHANDICON 2026 are welcome.

Guidelines for Special Session Proposers

The Special Sessions should provide the conference attendees with an insight view of research topics that are not covered by the regular tracks. They can also be focused on particular research niches within the greater topic of a regular track; however, it is important that such sessions offer sufficient diversity from the main topic. Therefore, the proposers are invited to highlight the difference between the contents of their submission and the regular tracks.
Special Session Organizers are expected to operate within their professional networks to promote their session and CHANDICON 2026. Having an invited paper/presentation will help to attract more interest, hence it is strongly encouraged. Accepted special sessions will have 4-6 oral presentations. A Special Session can be one of the following:

(a) Special Session with an invited presentation

The organizers will invite leading researcher(s) in the topic of the Special Session to deliver oral presentation(s) during the Special Session. The organizers will provide the name(s) of the presenter(s), along with an email confirming their acceptance and an abstract. No full paper is required, and the abstract will not be published in IEEE Xplore.

(b) Special Session with an invited paper

The organizers will invite leading researcher(s) in the topic of the Special Session to deliver an oral presentation during the Special Session. The organizers will provide the name(s) of the presenter(s), along with an email confirming their acceptance. The presenter, together with possible co-authors, will prepare a full paper and submit it to the CHANDICON 2026 Conference by the stipulated deadline. The paper will undergo peer review and must demonstrate innovation and significant novelty in its (sub)field. If accepted and presented, the paper will be submitted for possible publication in IEEE Xplore.Note: No financial assistance will be provided by the conference to support the participation of invited paper/presentation presenters. The Special Session Organizer and all presenters in the session are required to register and pay the conference registration fee.
