Evaluation Criteria

Special session proposals will be evaluated on several criteria including: the timeliness of the topic; relevance to the IJCNN 2027, the expected impact and quality of the contributed papers; the qualifications of the organizers. Once the proposal has been approved, it will be included among the sessions available for authors to submit their papers. All papers submitted to a special session will be reviewed through the same review process as the regular papers of the conference to ensure that contributions are of high quality. Each special session will have 2 hours of duration.
