Call for Special Sessions 
The CBMI 2009 Program Committee invites proposals for the Technical Special Sessions Program of CBMI 2009, the 7th International Workshop on Content-Based Multimedia Indexing, to be held June 3-5, 2009, in Chania, Crete, Greece.
CBMI 2009 Technical Special Sessions are aimed to cover case-studies and technical and scientific advances. Each special session will have some specific objective, for example:
To present original and valuable research results in the larger context in which they have been achieved, e.g., an EU R&D project.
To present a set of technologies that definitively solves an existing problem, or that is constrained to a specific application domain
Other objectives can also be proposed by the Sessions chair.
Each Technical Special Session is expected to have from 4 to 8 papers and at least one author of each paper must register for the workshop and present the paper during the session.
All papers at CBMI 2009, including papers solicited for special sessions, undergo the same rigorous reviewing process by anonymous and independent reviewers. If after the reviewing process less than 4 papers solicited for a special session are selected, the Special Session will be cancelled, and the solicited papers that passed reviewing will be presented within the main technical track of the workshop. Special Session papers will be published together with regular papers in the IEEE workshop’s proceedings.
Proposals for Technical Special Sessions must include:
Rationale of the need and objective of the session
Session outline
Specific topics of interest
Contact information for the Special Session chair(s)
Short biography of the Special Session chair(s)
List of potential papers, including title, abstract and author names, affiliations and contact information
Proposals for Technical Special Sessions should be submitted to Ferran Marques or Phivos Mylonas before December 5th, 2008. Prospective organizers are strongly encouraged to contact Ferran Marques or Phivos Mylonas in advance. Notification of acceptance of proposals is scheduled for December 10th, 2008, while paper submission and review schedule is the same as for regular papers.
