General Track
Papers on any subject within the scope of the conference may be submitted to the General Track. These papers will be reviewed by knowledgeable referees, and if accepted, allocated to oral or poster sessions for presentation at the conference. Authors may submit to the General Track, or to an Invited Session if their paper fits the scope of the session.
Invited Sessions
An invited session consists of a presentation session of six to 12 or more papers on a specific conference topic, organised as half or full day mini-conference. We invite senior scientists who have a special interest in a specific conference topic to to take responsibility for an invited session, gathering papers from a range of research expertise around the world.
A List of Invited Sessions being organised can be seen ..here..
Organisers of Invited Sessions undertake to:-
- Select a topic of interest to themselves and to conference delegates;
- Obtain papers on this topic, normally a minimum of six for an invited session, but often more. If there are sufficient papers, the session may become a workshop.
- Ensure the papers are submitted through the PROSE online review system;
- Provide suitable reviewers for the reviews of the papers and enter these on the PROSE system;
- Manage the review process for these papers using PROSE;
- Ensure final versions of the papers are uploaded before the deadline;
- Attend the conference and chair the session.
Guidance Notes for Invited Session Chairs are available .. here ..
