IECON 2005

Special sessions are prestigious and provide an opportunity to the organizer to define and elevate the quality of the conference by bringing in eminent people and serious researchers to present results that potentially impact the direction of research in that topic. The reward to the organizer and other presenters of such a session is to network closely with the top researchers in their research field, to have an opportunity to influence other researchers in this field, and to mentor young researchers.

Procedure to submit a proposal for a special session:

1. Please send a proposal to organize a special session to Special Session Co-Chairs: Carlo Cecati (c.cecati@ieee.org) and Alex Q. Huang (aqhuang@ncsu.edu), and also cc to General Chair: Mo-Yuen Chow (chow@ncsu.edu)
