Special Sessions are organized and chaired by prominent senior researchers, who have a special interest in the topic of the session.

  The Special Session Chair is then responsible for obtaining at least 8 papers for each session, that have been written by colleagues and other workers in the same field, supervising the review process for those papers, and then chairing the Session at the conference.

Organizers of Special Sessions undertake to:

- Select a topic of interest to themselves and to conference delegates.
- Distribute a Call for Papers for the session.
- Select at least 8 papers for the session.
- Check that the papers are suitable for the conference.
- Have these papers reviewed by at least two experts in the field.
- Ensure that checked final camera-ready papers are supplied to the conference Secretariat by the deadline, following the instructions that will be provided.
- Supply the conference Secretariat with the reviews.
- Register for the conference, attend it, and chair the session.

Deadlines and Dates:

- Proposals for Sessions: October 31, 2006.
- List of accepted papers (Authors, Title, E-mail address and Review Results) must be sent to MUE secretary by December 31, 2006.
