Call for Special Sessions & Events
We kindly invite you to propose Workshop/Special Session in the 16th The International Conference on Intelligent Systems Design and Applications (ISDA’2017) to be held in Delhi, India, from December 14 - 16, 2017. ISDA’2017 is intended to be a major international conference bringing together researchers, engineers, and practitioners who work in the areas of intelligent systems and its applications in industry and the real world.
Session organizer(s) will be responsible for advertising, promoting, and chairing the parallel special session during the conference. Papers will be reviewed by the panel reviewers from the Session Program Committee and approved by the General Conference Program Committee. Each Special Session is expected to have at least 5 papers and at least one author of each paper must register for the paper present during the session. Special Session paper submission will be done through ISDA’2017 submission management system and been evaluated with the same standards as the regular conference paper.
All proposal submissions will be reviewed by the ISDA’2017 special session chair and the general conference committee. The following criteria will be considered:

• Relevance, interest, and value of the topic to ISDA’2017 attendees.
• Complementarity to the ISDA’2017 program provided by the other tracks.
• Completeness, clarity, and quality of the session proposal.
• Qualification of the submitter(s) to organize the SS.
• Likely success of the proposed session.
• Overlap with other proposal or pre-selected activity.

It is expected that all accepted papers will be included in the ISDA’2017 conference proceedings published by Springer.
