Call for Special Session Proposals
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
17th IEEE International Conference on Electronics, Circuits, and Systems
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
12-15 December 2010 Athens, Greece
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The IEEE International Conference on Electronics, Circuits, and Systems (ICECS), the flagship conference of the IEEE Circuits and Systems (CAS) Society in Region 8 of IEEE, will include special sessions. The objective is to complement the regular program with new or emerging topics of particular interest to the circuits and systems community that may also cut across and beyond disciplines traditionally represented by ICECS.
Prospective organizers of Special sessions should submit proposals indicating:
* title of the session
* rationale of the need for the special session at ICECS.
* short biography of the organizers
* list of five (5) contributed papers (including titles, authors, contact information of the corresponding author, and an abstract of each contribution). It is recommended that the first paper to be a tutorial in the field, of overview character, in order to introduce a non-specialist CAS audience to the subject.
Proposals should be sent via e-mail (in either pdf or plain ascii text form) to the ICECS 2010 special session chairs, Pau-Choo Chung (pcchung@ee.ncku.edu.tw) and Alexis Birbas (birbas@ece.upatras.gr) with email subject: "ICECS SS-proposal." Proposals will be evaluated based on the timeliness of the topic, the qualifications of the organizers and the authors of the papers proposed in the session. Sessions dealing with emerging technologies or sessions whose subjects are at the crossroad with other CAS fields will be preferred.
Notification of acceptance will be sent to the organizers by July 20, 2010. Authors of papers included in successful proposals should submit a manuscript on or before September 5, 2010. Manuscripts should conform to the formatting and electronic submission guidelines of regular ICECS papers (please consult the ICECS paper submission guidelines). They will undergo peer review. It is the responsibility of the organizers to ensure that their special session meets the ICECS quality standards. If, at the end of the review process, less than four (4) papers are accepted, the session will be cancelled and the accepted papers will be moved to regular sessions.

Proposals due: July 5, 2010
Notification of acceptance: July 20, 2010
Submission of full four-page papers for Special sessions: September 5, 2010
Notification of paper acceptance: September 20, 2010
