<br>
The organizing committee of GECON 2020 has decided all <br>
sessions will be held exclusively online! <br>
<br>
We consider the new online format to offer opportunities <br>
for exploring new ways of improving the interaction and <br>
feedback of the audience with speakers and promoting <br>
networking among the conference participants. <br>
<br>
The registration fee of the online conference has been <br>
reduced to 250€ for one author of each publication, <br>
100 € for participants, and 50€ for students.<br>
<br>
The selection process will run as planned. The timely <br>
publication of accepted papers in the proceedings of <br>
GECON 2020 will be published in the LNCS series of <br>
Springer as announced. <br>
<br>
Due to the new online format, GECON maintains open the <br>
proposal for special sessions. With the objective of <br>
encouraging alternative forms of participation that can <br>
increase discussions of technical topics and new ideas.<br>
<br>
We solicit new topics and birds-of-a-feather session <br>
proposals. Deadline for proposals is August 15th, 2020.<br>
