GENERAL INFORMATION:

Within the framework of the 2018 41st International Conference on Telecommunications and Signal Processing (TSP - http://tsp.vutbr.cz) held during July 4-6, 2018, Athens, Greece, prospective Organizers are invited to submit proposals for Workshops and Special Sessions at TSP 2018 Conference. Proposals are due through the form available at http://tsp.vutbr.cz/?page_id=3492 by March 5, 2018 (hard deadline). The TSP Conference serves as a premier annual international forum to promote the exchange of the latest advances in telecommunication technology and signal processing. The aim of the Conference is to bring together both novice and experienced scientists, developers, and specialists, to meet new colleagues, collect new ideas, and establish new cooperation between research groups from universities, research centers, and private sectors from the whole Europe, America, Asia, Australia, and Africa.

For a Workshop and Special Session proposal to be considered for acceptance at TSP 2018 Conference, the proposed topic needs to be an emerging area in telecommunications or signal processing. The topic should be timely and significantly important to the technical audience, and the speakers need to convey compelling information about the topic. The proposals will be evaluated by the ability to introduce the area to large telecommunications and signal processing community, further develop the area, and help establishing a larger research community beyond the area.

Each Workshop and Special Session will be approx. 90 minutes long and will usually consist of 5 oral presentations, however, in case of larger interest the Workshop or Special Session will be divided to more parts. Other formats may be possible, including panel discussions, demos, or poster presentations.

The Organizer’s role is to invite the speakers, help with reviews, and chair the session itself.

Each speaker invited to a Workshop and Special Session will be required to submit a paper, under the regular submission requirements, by the regular submission deadline. These papers will enter the same system as regular papers, and be subject to reviews. The Organizer will be asked to help with selection of reviewers and in consultation with the program committee will make accept/reject decisions. It is possible that some invited papers may be rejected. However, this is expected to be a rare case since the Organizer should recruit only the high-quality papers to the Workshop or Special Session.

The invited speakers as well as the Organizer will be required to register for the conference. Registration fees will not be waived and there will be no honorarium available through TSP.
