Invited Sessions
An invited session consists of a presentation session of six to 12 or more papers on a specific conference topic, organised as half or full day mini-conference. We invite senior scientists who have a special interest in a specific conference topic to to take responsibility for an invited session, gathering papers from a range of research expertise around the world.

Organisers of Invited Sessions undertake to:
- Select a topic of interest to themselves and to conference delegates;
- Obtain papers on this topic, normally a minimum of six for an invited session, but often more. If there are sufficient papers, the session may become a workshop.
- Ensure the papers are submitted through the EasyChair online review system;
- Manage the review process for these papers using EasyChair;
- Provide suitable reviewers for the reviews of the papers and enter these on the EasyChair system;
- Ensure the final versions of the papers are uploaded before the deadline;
- Attend the conference and chair the session.
