PROCEDURE

Special tracks are an integral part of the CBMS conference since year 2005; their papers should report on significant unpublished work, and are required to meet the same standards, and are included in the conference proceedings. Organizer(s) of each Special Track (ST) are responsible for the quality of the papers in their track and manage the review process accordingly, assigning a Program Committee for the ST.
If you are interested in organizing a ST, please submit your proposal before November 3, 2012 by email to [log in to unmask]
Each proposal needs to include
- ST title;
- rough estimate of the expected size (usually, 4-5 papers per session, 1-3 sessions per track);
- a brief biography of ST organizer(s) and list of ST program committee members;
- a draft of ST call for papers.
