CALL FOR WORKSHOP AND SPECIAL SESSION PROPOSALS
===============
The 4th IEEE Smart World Congress (SmartWorld 2018)
October 8-12, 2018
Guangzhou, China
http://www.smart-world.org/2018/
SmartWorld 2018 calls for workshops and special sessions which will complement
the research topics of the Smart World.
A workshop refers to an academic event in conjunction with SmartWorld 2018. A
special session is an embedded session in SmartWorld 2018, focusing on a
specific research topic relevant to the main conference. Each workshop will be
expected to accept at least 6 papers. Each special session will be expected to
accept 4-6 full-length papers.
Workshop/special session organizers are responsible for forming program
committees, circulating Call for papers, organizing submissions and reviews as
well as planning the final programs. SmartWorld 2018 workshop/special session
co-chairs will assist the workshop/special session organizers in organizing
workshops/special sessions and ensure their quality and success. The
registration fees for workshops/special sessions will be determined by the
organizing committees of SmartWorld 2018, which will provide workshop/special
session facilities. Workshops/special sessions should strictly follow the
important dates. The paper submission deadlines could be after that of the main
conference to allow workshops/special sessions to pick up some good papers
submitted to the main conference. However, sufficient time (5-7 weeks), should
be allocated for peer reviews. Each paper should be reviewed by at least three
experts in the corresponding areas.
In order to encourage the workshop organizers, the main conference will offer
the following benefits to the workshop organizers: (1) If a workshop has 10-20
full registrations, then one full registration will be waived. (2) If a
workshop receives more than 20 full registrations, then its organizers can
choose to get a travel grant (up to USD1500) to attend the conference, or to
invite one keynote speaker for the workshop with a free registration and travel
grant (up to USD1500) for the keynote speaker. The registrations must be from a
workshop’s own received submissions and accepted papers only, excluding
transferred papers from other workshops/conferences.
Please email your workshop/special session proposals in PDF format by Feb. 8,
2018 to: the SmartWorld 2018 workshop/special session co-chairs, Manuel Roveri
([email protected]), Seiichi Ozawa ([email protected]) and Qin Liu
([email protected]). Please use SmartWorld 2018 workshop and special
session proposal as the email subject. Paper Submissions for accepted
