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
