***  Each Proposal for Special Session is reviewed by the WSEAS specific scientific committee or the Chairmen of the particular conference. The organizer must have at least Ph.D. Degree.

STEPS:
1. Fill in the Call For Papers of your session filling in the form
http://www.wseas.org/sessionproposal.htm
After review by 2 international experts, you will receive notification of acceptance/rejection of your Special Session.

2. Create a web page in your department or university Web Site or even in any free web provider (like geocities, tripod etc...) about your Session with Title, Topics, your Email address, etc...  Of course, you can collect the papers for your Session without having a web page (for example announcing your session to your friends by email, telephone, fax etc...), however, a web page will help your effort substantially.

3. When you collect the first 5 (or more than 5) papers for your session, you must review them and you must upload to the WSEAS Conference Web Site informing us about their ID Numbers and their titles (Your own paper must be reviewed by independent WSEAS Reviewers). Authors must know that they must make registration in the conference and must present the papers.

4. After receiving your first 5 (or more than 5) papers WSEAS  will create an official Web page linked by the Main Page of the particular conference. It will include the Title of your Special Session, Topics of your Special Session, your name as Organizer with your academic affiliation, your Photo and a Short CV.

Examples: Examples of Approved Sessions without Official Web Page, because their organizers have not received 5 papers yet can be found in: http://creator.zoho.com/wseas/specialsession/view/13/
In the same web page, you may also see pending special sessions

BENEFITS FOR SPECIAL SESSION ORGANIZERS:
1. The name of a SESSION ORGANISER in a WSEAS CONFERENCE
is included in the COVER of the conference publications (program, proceedings,
post-conference publications) as ASSOCIATE EDITOR and he
participates as member in the INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE provided
that his/her session will have at least 5 fully registered papers* before the final deadline for registration due.

2. Extended versions of the papers of the Special Session will be further reviewed for possible publication in the WSEAS TRANSACTIONS with the Organizer as Guest Editor of the journal, provided that the session will have at least 5 fully registered papers*  before the final deadline for registration due.

3. For every session with 5 (five) fully registered fully registered papers*,  the organizer will
have the opportunity to publish 1 (one) paper without paying registration fees. This paper cannot be one of the already registered 5 papers, but another, additional, paper (after the fifth)  (the registration of the 5 papers must have been arranged in advance).

4. If the Session Organizer can attend the conference, he/she will also be invited to chair the session.

5. Upgrade of your session in a WorkShop if you have more than 20 papers.
For more than 10 fully registered papers*, you will have free hotel accomodation.
For  20 until 29 fully registered papers*, you will have free hotel accomodation + 500 EUR cash as honorarium. For 30 until 39 fully registered papers*, you will have free hotel accomodation + 1000 EUR cash as honorarium. For 40 until 49 fully registered papers*, you will have free hotel accomodation + 1500 EUR cash as honorarium. For 50 until 59 fully registered papers*, you will have free hotel accomodation + 2000 EUR cash as honorarium and so on. The financial benefits of the paragraphs 3 and 5 cannot be applied for the Chairmen of a conference or a multiconference. They applied only for the Organizers of the Special Sessions and Workshops.

6. Upgrade of your session in a Conference after one year, i.e. you could act as WSEAS Conference Organizer in the next year if your session is very successful. In fact, many WSEAS Conferences like: Remote Sensing, Energy and Environment, Non-Linear Systems etc... had started as Special Session before their formal establishment as independent conferences.

Student Papers, Papers of authors with discount, Extra Papers of the same author that are registered with additional fee are not considered as Fully Registered papers.

IMPORTANT REMARK: The Review of the papers of each Session is achieved by Independent Reviewers outside the Session (in order to have a real objective evaluation of them). The Organizers of the Session are NOT involved in the Review Process.

    a) in their first submission (uploading) their authors declared that they want to   participate in the particular session
    b) they fulfill their financial requirements against the conference completely
