ICMLAA now welcomes proposals for special sessions. We invite submissions on novel or emerging research areas, as well as innovative applications of existing methodologies, to complement and broaden the main conference program. Proposals should focus on timely and compelling topics of interest to the community.
Each special session is expected to feature a minimum of five accepted papers. Organizers may actively invite contributions within their thematic scope. A session can be led by up to two designated organizers, with roles such as chair and co‑chair.
All papers submitted to special sessions will undergo the same rigorous peer review as regular submissions and are required to satisfy identical publication criteria. Papers accepted and presented within special sessions will be published in the official conference proceedings.
Special Sessions may address one or more Tracks, but they should be organized under a unified theme. Special Sessions are intended to allow projects or any other group of authors to present their own work.
Special Sessions may include one invited speaker, besides papers. Proposers are responsible for defining the full contents of the Special Session, namely the authors and presenters.
Special Sessions proposals should be submitted via a specific template, available below. Proposers should provide information on the Title, Duration, Motivation and Background, and Structure. Additional information on specific promotion can also be provided, if applicable.
All participants and speakers in the Special Sessions, regardless of the nature of their presentation, including organizers, must pay the registration fee.
Special Sessions extend for a conference time‑slot, i.e., 1h30, and they will be held during the conference, in parallel to regular sessions.
Special Sessions will be evaluated according to the following criteria:
