CODES+ISSS 2014 Call for Special Sessions

CODES+ISSS 2014 - Call for Special Sessions

Researchers both from academia and industry are invited to submit proposals for special sessions to be held during the CODES+ISSS 2014 conference. The special sessions should aim at providing a complementary experience compared to the regular sessions and hence should include hot topics of interest to the Embedded Systems community that may also go beyond disciplines traditionally represented at CODES+ISSS. The special session could constitute either a thematic session containing individual presentations or a panel.

The special session proposal should include:

• Title of the special session
• Rationale of the need for the special session at CODES+ISSS. The rationale should stress the novelty of the topic and /or its multidisciplinary flavor, and must explain how it is different from the subjects covered by the regular sessions
• Short biography of the organizers
• List of 3-4 contributed presentations (including titles, presenters, contact information of the corresponding presenter, and an abstract of each contribution). For panel proposals, list three to five panelists and their area of expertise.

Proposals are due on or before May 30, 2014 and should be sent via
e-mail (PDF or ASCII) to the Program Chairs, Radu Marculescu
(radum@cmu.edu) and Gabriela Nicolescu (gabriela.nicolescu@polymtl.ca).
Proposals will be evaluated based on the timeliness of the topic and the
qualification of presenters involved in the session.

Participants of each accepted special session will have the opportunity
to submit a single overview paper covering the main aspects of the
session (the presenters will co-author this paper). Alternatively, each
presenter will have the option of submitting an extended abstract of
their presentation.
