Guidelines
for Special Sessions:
Session proposals have no page length requirement, but are
typically in the 2-6 page (single column) range. Reviewers appreciate concise
documents.
1. In
the introduction, proposals should inform the reviewers why the topic is
relevant to the fractional differentiation and its applications (i.e., the
topic should be clearly motivated).
2. An
objective should be clearly stated, that is, an explanation of what is meant to
be accomplished by organizing this session.
3. Following
the introduction, the organization of the session should be described. List the
6 papers, and their authors, to be included, explain briefly what they are
about and why they are included. Discuss briefly how these 6 papers comprise an
interesting and cohesive session on the topic.
4. References
should be included as needed. Figures are optional but may be included as
desired.
5. After
submitting your Special Session proposal, you will be given a session
code. All authors in your session should submit their papers using this session
code.
Session organizers must submit their proposals with enough advance time
so that authors have time to submit their papers before the deadline,
February 15, 2018.
NOTE: All Special Session papers will be reviewed
individually, using the same process as for regular paper submissions. It is
possible that the session may be accepted, but not all the associated papers
are accepted. In this case, your session will be filled with submitted papers
which will be assigned by the Program Committee.
