Call for Special Sessions

Submission deadline for special sessions has been finalized: September 30, 2025.

Special Sessions aim to spotlight emerging research topics, cross-disciplinary approaches, or application-driven themes not adequately addressed in the main tracks. Each session may include peer-reviewed papers, invited talks, keynotes, or panel discussions to foster interactive dialogue among researchers and practitioners.

  • Special Session Title
  • Technical Description (max. 1 page): Describe the focus area and emphasize why it is timely and relevant to RIVF 2025, especially if not well covered by the main program.
  • Organizers: Names, affiliations, and contact details
  • Short Bio of Organizers (max. 200 words per organizer): Highlight prior experience in organizing conferences or special sessions, particularly in IEEE events.
  • Potential Participants: Tentative list of speakers and/or program committee members (noting any confirmed participants is a plus)
  • Past Sessions (if applicable): Include statistics such as number of submissions, acceptances, and attendance.
  • Session Format:
    • Planned duration: Half-day or Full-day
    • Structure: Number of papers, invited talks, keynotes, panels, etc.
    • Plan for the review process
