Invited Sessions

Invited Sessions are organised and chaired by senior researchers who have knowledge of, and a special interest in, the topic of the session.

We invite researchers into emerging topics and new areas of investigation within the field to organize invited sessions, or parallel workshops of a half or full day, gathering a minimum of five papers from a wide range of research expertise from around the world. Please, contact the Conference Secretariat enclosing the title and content of the proposed session, and tentatively involved research teams. Organisers of Invited Sessions undertake to:

• Select a topic of interest to themselves and to conference delegates;
• Obtain papers on this topic, normally a minimum of 5 for an invited session, but often more. If there are sufficient papers, the session may become a workshop.
• Ensure the papers are submitted through the PROSE online review system;
• Manage the review process for these papers using PROSE;
• Provide suitable reviewers for the reviews of the papers and enter these on the PROSE system;
• Ensure the final versions of the papers are uploaded before the deadline;
• Attend the conference and chair the session.

Researchers who would like to organise one or more Invited Sessions on topics falling within the scope of the conference are invited to submit a proposal for consideration. This should include:

The title of the session;

• A paragraph describing the theme of the session - all invited sessions for KES2008 must have a significant level of Intelligent Systems content;
• A short-form CV for the proposed Invited Session Chair(s).
• Contact details for the Chair(s).

If accepted, the Invited Session Chair will be asked to provide the URL of a web page containing the Invited Session Call for Papers (CFP). The Invited Session details and the link to the web page CFP will be placed on the table of Invited Sessions (a link to this is available at the top of this page).
