Special Track Invitation

INTELLI 2023, The Twelfth International Conference on Intelligent Systems and Applications

March 13 – 17, 2023 – Barcelona, Spain

Dear INTELLI 2023 technical committee member,

During INTELLI 2023, taking place during March 13 – 17, 2023 in Barcelona, Spain, the IARIA Board decided to have a few special tracks. This will strengthen the event and provide more visibility to the committee members.

To that respect, a few scientists were selected from the program committee of the conference. You are invited to participate in this initiative to gather contributors and organize a special track on a topic you and your peers are working on.

The submission deadline for special track articles is January 26. All events will be held in a hybrid mode: on site, prerecorded videos, voiced presentation slides, pdf slides.

After reading the invitation, a reply is greatly appreciated regarding your availability to take part in this effort. Then, a step-by-step procedure will be communicated to you.

If you accept this invitation, but are unable to participate as chair during the conference, you can delegate that task to someone else from your team when time comes. If your schedule does not allow you to undertake this effort, feel free to forward this invitation to a colleague.

A special track is intended to work this way:

The benefits of the special track Chair:

• The Chair of a successful track is granted the registration fees
• The Chair of a successful track is granted one Publication of a regular scientific paper
• The Chair is granted one Editorial writing on the topic, to be posted on www.iaria.org under Additional Publications (not in proceedings)
• The Chair can select one paper to be invited (as extended version) for publication in a IARIA Journal (see www.iariajournals.org)
• The Chair is listed as an editor of the INTELLI 2023 proceedings.

Note: A track is successful when minimum 3-4 contributions are registered as regular contributions.

The responsibilities of the Chair

• The Chair has the freedom to select and propose the topic of the track and the contributors (the chair will provide a track title, an acronym, and selected appropriate sub-topics)
• The Chair identifies and invites as many contributors/authors as possible (among team members, project partners, scientific colleagues, students, etc.)
• The Chair distributes the Call for Contributions (CfC) and persuades the potential contributors (note: a submission site will be set up and mentioned in the CfC)
• The Chair cooperates with the logistics to conclude the peer-review (reviewers, from the conference committee, are allotted by the logistics)

The conference logistics will then

• Allot the technical program committee members selected from the main committee to perform the peer-review process.
• Cross-validate editorial/grammar aspects and work with the contact-authors to fix the camera-ready version, with several revalidations if needed
• Provide the appropriate presentation slot in the main program schedule
• Publish the papers in the open access digital library (ThinkMind, www.thinkmind.org)
• Once at least 3 authors register for the event, a waiver code will be provided to the Chair to be used towards the free registration

The papers will be in the conference proceedings and publicly accessible in an open access digital library at www.thinkmind.org

Information for the authors

• Carefully consider the editorial rules: https://www.iaria.org/editorialrules.html
• Have a careful proofreading of the contribution
• Carefully observe the required format: text style and size, captions, references, etc. (see https://www.iaria.org/conferences2023/CfPINTELLI23.html, in the FORMATS section)
• Registration fees are available at https://www.iaria.org/registration.html
• The actual registration form will be posted in time for notification

If you agree, please:

• Email to steve@iaria.org a title/topic of the special track, as soon as you have one
• Take note that the submission deadline for special tracks is January 26

These dates are somewhat flexible, providing arrangements are made ahead of time with you. A reply is appreciated, regardless of the decision, for a better coordination among topics/special tracks. If you take the leadership of a special track, a step-by-step procedure will be communicated to you.

Thanks, and looking forward for your position!
