*CALL FOR WORKSHOPS and SPECIAL SESSIONS*

=======================================

*General Information:*

International Conferences (I-SPAN-2017 and FCST-2017) invite proposals for
Workshops (WS) and Special Sessions (SS) to be held in conjunction with the
conferences. The aim is to provide researchers in focused areas the
opportunity to present and discuss their work, as well as to offer a forum
for interaction among a broader community of researchers related to the
main topics of the conferences. The papers will be required to meet the
same standards as the main conference papers and will be published in the
conference proceedings, available on IEEE Xplore. Normally, an SS should
contain 4 or more papers, and a WS should contain 2 or more sessions (8 or
more papers). The organizers of the SS/WS are encouraged to make a plan
for post conference special issues in some high-quality international
journals.
