In addition to regular oral and poster sessions based on the above tracks, ICCE 2018 will have many special sessions on current hot topics related to CE. ICCE 2018 will also feature industry tracks and a student research forum as an integral part. The technical program committee invites proposals for special sessions, industry tracks, and expert panels. These proposals as well as the student research forum papers can be submitted at the EDAS link.

Call for Special Session and Expert Panel Proposals:

The organizing committee invites proposals for Special Sessions and Expert Panels on the current hot topics in CE areas. These proposals can be submitted at the EDAS link. The deadline is same as the regular submissions deadline. The Special Session and Expert Panel Proposals should follow these guidelines:
(1) Not exceed two pages.
(2) Should describe the topic, the format and intended audience.

(5) Submit online at EDAS choosing the following track:
ST01: Special Session Proposals (SSP)
ST02: Expert Panel Proposals (EPP)

The Special Sessions can be either oral presentations or poster presentations. Speaker presenting the work at the special session needs to register at the conference, and has the opportunity to include a paper up to 6 pages (minimally a 1-page extended abstract required) in the proceedings. Papers will be reviewed and published in the conference proceedings.

Call for Student Research Forum (SRF) Papers:

ICCE 2018 will feature a student research forum (SRF) as an integral part.
