Special Sessions
Special Sessions are outside the traditional technical program of the conference, and aside from a brief description of the session, the papers will not be peer-reviewed or be included in the conference Proceedings. Such special sessions offer an excellent venue for creating awareness of, and providing exposure to emerging research areas and other topics of broad interest to the conference attendees.
