Invited sessions proposals
Proposals should be up to 2 page long submissions comprising:
– title of the invited session, including justification of the session topic
– title and abstracts of each invited paper; and
– names and affiliations of the invited paper co-authors.
An invited session consists of 6 papers.
The six invited session papers have to be submitted separately by the respective authors in the format prescribed for submission of contributed papers. Each paper in a proposed invited session will be individually reviewed and thus may not be accepted. Consequently, IPC may decide to add another contributed paper to the invited session if it is on the topic of relevance to the invited session.
The submission deadline for invited session papers is the same as for contributed papers.
Invited session proposals need to be submitted directly to ifacpid2024@ual.es
