*CBMS 2025 **Call for special tracks*

-----------------------------------------------

*The 38th IEEE International Symposium on Computer-Based Medical Systems
(IEEE CBMS 2025 <https://2025.cbms-conference.org/>) will be held at the
Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería
Agronómica, Alimentaria y de Biosistemas), Madrid, Spain, from Wednesday
18th to Friday 20th of June 2025. *Attracting a worldwide audience, CBMS is
the premier conference for computer-based medical systems, and one of the
main conferences within the fields of medical informatics and biomedical
informatics.



IEEE CBMS 2025 invites proposals for organization of special tracks that
will be held in parallel with the general conference track. The themes of
the special tracks should not overlap with the general conference topics
and should focus on emerging research fields. All tracks are expected to
enable stimulating discussions of state-of-the-art, emerging, visionary,
and perhaps controversial topics. Their papers should report on significant
unpublished work and must meet the same standards as main conference
papers. All accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings. We
expect all accepted tracks to adhere to the conference paper submission and
reviewing schedule, as outlined in the dates indicated below.



 Special Tracks chair(s) will be interacting with organisers of accepted
workshops to ensure a high-quality workshop program. In the case of
detecting several similar submissions, the CBMS 2025 organization can
propose the fusion of those proposals.



*Special Track requirements*



The organizers of a special track must comply with a set of principles and
obligations, listed below:

   - A *specific webpage with information about the special track will be
   created* by CBMS after the acceptance notification. The organizers must
   provide the following information to be added to such webpage: special
   track description, list of topics, call for papers, submission information
   (must be the same as CBMS 2025 regular track), special track organizers,
   special track program committee members, any other relevant information.
   - *The organizers of the special track are responsible for the
   peer-review process within their track*. They must add their own Program
   committee members/reviewers to the submission platform, ensure that receive
   all the reviews on time, check the quality of the reviews, and establish
   the acceptance/rejection decision. The final decision will be sent by CBMS
   2025 PC Chairs. They also must pay special attention to potential conflicts
   of interest and ensure that all the general ethical rules of research are
   followed.
   - *At least one of the organizers of the special track must register and
   attend to CBMS 2025 in Madrid*. The organizer(s) who attend CBMS will
   also chair the specific session that will be assigned in the agenda to
   their track.
   - *The organizers of the special track are responsible for the publicity
   of their track to try to win as many submissions as possible*. Please
   bear in mind that a special track with less than 4 accepted papers could be
   canceled. In this case, the accepted papers will be moved to the regular
   track.
