ICEIM 2026 invites proposals for special sessions. We expect that special sessions could complement the regular technical program by highlighting new and emerging research topics or innovative applications of established approaches. The topic of a special session proposal should be timely and compelling.

Each organized special session should have a minimum of 4 papers. The session organizers have full authority in soliciting papers for the session. Each session is limited to no more than 2 organizers and the session organizer can designate a chair and a co-chair for the session.

Note that all papers will be subject to the same peer review process as for regular papers. And these papers are expected to meet the same quality standard. Accepted and presented papers in the special session will also be included in the conference proceedings.

Special Session Proposal:

Proposers should submit the following information with their submission. Please submit your proposal (PDF file) to conference email (Email: iceim_conf@vip.163.com) before April 10, 2026  . (Proposal Form Download)
