Special Sessions aim to provide exciting opportunities for researchers and practitioners to present and exchange ideas on selected topics from the Call for Papers and within the fields of interest of the IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics (SMC) Society, and particularly to think about shaping the future. One Special Session has the same time-period as a regular session of technical paper presentations, but Special Sessions will address very emerging new areas of special interest to the SMC community. Special Session proposals related to the conference theme (Cyber-Physical Systems and Society) or especially hot SMC topics are most welcome.

Special Session proposals that are really thematically special and/or topically very hot may be accepted as Thematic Special Sessions, to differentiate from sessions organized on more conventional SMC topics .

Special session organizers would solicit a cohesive set of contributed papers responsive to the proposed SMC topic. Each Special Session is expected to consist of five accepted papers. Paper submission to proposed Special Sessions is not a guarantee of acceptance. In fact, all submitted papers of Special Sessions have to undergo the same review process (three completed reviews per paper). The technical reviewers for each Special Session paper will be members of the SMC 2011 Program Committee and qualified peer-reviewers to be nominated by the Special Session organizers. Special Sessions on the same topic for which the total number of accepted papers exceeds five may be scheduled for multiple time-slots. Please click here to download an electronic version of Special Sessions guidelines.

Each Special Session proposal should include the following:

1. Title for the proposed Special Session,

2. Targeted themes of the Special Session,

3. Targeted number of accepted papers of the Special Session,

4. Justification of interest, fit, and impact for SMC 2011 conference scopes and themes,

5. Statement on how papers for the Special Session are to be effectively solicited,

6. Statement on how qualified peer-reviewers will be identified or selected (three completed reviews per paper) to support the paper review process, or a planned list of people whom Special Session organizers would like to nominate as peer-reviewers for the Special Session,

7. Short biography of Special Session organizer(s) (include complete address, phone, and e-mail),

8. Complete flyer of Call for Papers of the Special Session
