IEEE RO-MAN 2021 (virtual) - Call for Special Sessions
=============================================
30th IEEE International Conference on Robot and Human Interactive
Communication (RO-MAN2021)
August 8 - 12, 2021, Virtual conference
http://ro-man2021.org
===============================================================
We invite proposals for Special Sessions for the 30th IEEE International
Conference on Robot and Human Interactive Communication that will take
place from August 8 - 12, 2021. RO-MAN has a unique positioning in
Human-Robot Interaction, encompassing theories, methodologies, interaction
design, technical developments, especially artificial intelligence, and
experimental studies of robots interacting with humans. This year we
especially encourage state-of-the-art innovative results, the latest
developments, and future perspectives relating to the conference theme
of trustworthiness
and cooperation in robot and human interactive communication, but are not
limited to the current theme.
The goal of special sessions is to provide a forum for focused oral
presentations that are featuring emerging topics or innovative applications
of established approaches. A typical special session consists of four to
six papers, which, for example, addresses a particular theme or consists of
work done in an international project or network. All papers will be
subject to the same peer-review process as for regular papers and will be
included in the main conference proceedings (IEEE Xplore Digital Library).
===================================================
SPECIAL SESSION PROPOSALS
Prospective special session organizers are invited to submit a proposal,
that contains the names and affiliations of at least 3 confirmed authors.
The submissions will take place via the main conference's submission
system. If accepted, the organizers of the special session will be
responsible for the high-quality peer-review by two reviewers and one
additional anonymous peer-review will be delegated to the main conference
review process for quality control. The organizers will be Associate
Editors and Chairs for the proposed session. In case the organizers are
planning to submit to their special session, they should not take part in
the meta-review to avoid bias in the evaluation of the submission. For
additional details on submission instructions, please refer to the website.
