| Special sessions are very small and specialized 
      events to be held during the conference as a set of oral presentations 
      that are highly specialized in some particular theme or consisting of the 
      works of some particular international project.  The goal of special sessions (minimum 4 papers; 
      maximum 9) is to provide a focused discussion on innovative topics. Each 
      prospective organizer is invited to submit a proposal explaining the 
      targeted topic’s novelty/importance and listing the contributing authors 
      and their contributions.  Guidelines for submitting a 
      special session proposal:  Each 
      proposal should clearly indicate:  
        1. The title of the 
        Special Session. 2. The organizer(s), contact information and affiliations.
 3. The topic of the Special Session specified in terms of keywords (at 
        least 1 of the keywords should be from the list of ICEIS 2005 topics).
 4. The relevance of the proposed Special Session to ICEIS 2005 and the 
        significance of the related contributions (max 1000 words).
 5. The participants’ contact information, affiliations, 
        presentation/paper titles and short abstracts (max 100 words per 
        abstract). This list should contain at least 4 people who have confirmed 
        their participation and who have firmly accepted to present their work 
        at ICEIS’2005.
 All contributions should be 
      written in English. International Special Sessions (i.e.; in which 
      participants come from different universities and countries) are strongly 
      encouraged. The Special Sessions Proposals will be reviewed by at least 
      two independent who will specifically take into consideration the 
      following criteria: 
        1. Relevance of the 
        Special Session: Is the topic of the proposed Special Session related to 
        the main themes of the ICEIS 2005 conference? 2. Significance of the Special Session: Is the topic of the proposed 
        Special Session a major, minor, or a trivial scientific problem? Has the 
        problem been solved before? Do the papers cover the problem domain well? 
        Are there many research communities that will care about the solutions 
        proposed in the Special Session papers?
 3. Originality and Significance of the Special Session papers: Are there 
        any new ideas proposed? Are there any significant results presented?
 4. Overall rating.
