CALL FOR WORKSHOPS and SPECIAL SESSIONS
=======================================
General Information:
International Conferences (I-SPAN-2017 and FCST-2017) invite
proposals for Workshops (WS) and
Special Sessions (SS) to be held in conjunction with the conferences. The aim is to provide researchers in focused areas the opportunity to present and discuss their work, as well as to offer a forum for interaction among a broader community of researchers
related to the main topics of the conferences. The papers will be required to meet the same standards as the main conference papers
and will be published in the conference proceedings, available on IEEE Xplore. Normally, an SS should contain 4 or
more papers, and a WS should contain 2 or more sessions (8 or
more papers). The organizers of the SS/WS are encouraged to make a plan for post conference special issues in some high-quality international journals.
