Special sessions should both provide an overview of the state of the art in the proposed field, and highlight the most promising research directions, trends and issues. Special session proposals will be evaluated based on the proposed topic, the expected impact,
the expected quality of the contributed papers, and the session organizers and contributing authors. Special session paper submissions will be reviewed via the same process used for the regular program, and papers are expected to meet the same quality standards.
Accepted and presented papers will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
