CALL FOR SPECIAL SESSION PROPOSALS
==================================
Special sessions supplement the regular program for PCM 2014. They are intended to cover new and emerging topics in the fields of multimedia. Each special session should provide an overview of the state of the arts and highlight important research directions in a field of special interest to PCM participants. It should be a focused effort rather than defined broadly.
Each special session should consist of at least 5 oral papers. It is encouraged that the session begins with an overview paper on the topic being addressed and that the remaining papers follow up with technical contributions on the topic.
The following information should be included in the proposal:
- Title of the proposed special session
- Names and affiliations of the organizers (including bios and contact info)
- Session abstract
- List of authors committed to submit paper (including a tentative title
and a 300-word abstract for each paper)
The session abstract should answer the following three questions:
- Motivation: why is this topic important for organizing a special session
in PCM14?
- Objective: who will be interested to submit papers?
- Target audience and key message: what can the attendees learn from this
special session?
This is a competitive call. Proposals will be evaluated based on the timeliness of the topic and relevance to PCM, as well as the qualification of the organizers and quality of papers in the proposed session.
