Special Sessions

A special session is a group of 6 papers (or multiple of 6), organized on the initiative of any volunteer proposing NO MORE than 2 papers inside. Special session topics must be in areas consistent with those of the ICIT 2017 conference theme.

ICIT 2017 will feature a significant number of Special Sessions on emerging topics and cutting-edge technologies in the areas of industrial electronics. Researchers in the area of Special Sessions are invited to submit their papers. Submission link is now open.

In order to avoid that Special Sessions tend to draw papers from Regular Tracks, the Special Sessions on Topics not enough specific and too general will be rejected.
