promote international participation of researchers from outside the
country/region where the conference is held (i.e., China’s mainland),
researchers outside of China’s mainland are encouraged to propose invited
sessions. An honorarium of US-D400 will be enjoyed by the organizer(s) for each
completed (with at least 6 registered papers) invited session. The first author
of each paper in an invited session must not be affiliated with an organization
in China’s mainland. "(Invited Paper)" may be added below the title of each
paper in the invited sessions. Invited session organizers will solicit
submissions, conduct reviews and recommend accept/reject decisions on the
submitted papers. Invited session organizers will be able to set their own
submission and review schedules, as long as a set of recommended papers is
determined by 21 March 2012. Each invited session proposal should include: (1)
the name, bio, and contact information of each organizer of the invited session;
(2) the title and a short synopsis of the invited session. Please send your
proposal to icnc-fskd@cqupt.edu.cn<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
