They intend to provide researchers in focused areas the opportunity to present and discuss their work, as well as to offer a forum for interaction among a broader community of researchers. A Special Session will consist of a group of papers in a sub-discipline of Computational Collective Intelligence related to the main topics of ICCCI 2017. The papers will be required to meet the same standards as ICCCI 2017 papers and will be published in the conference proceedings, in a bound volume by Springer in their Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series. All the Special Sessions will be centralized as tracks in the same conference submission and reviewing system (EasyChair) as the regular papers. Please send the Special Session proposals with the following information: ? Title & acronym of the special session ? Brief profiles of special session organizers ? General description of the special session scope ? List of topics ? Proposed Session Program Committee (to be invited) The format for the Special Session proposal should follow the pattern of the template available on the conference web site. The organizers will be responsible for the advertisement and promotion of the Special Sessions and the conference including the Special Sessions webpage preparation. The management of papers review will be achieved by Special Session Committees, using the Conference System (a separate EasyChair track will be provided for each Special Session). The organizers are responsible for managing the review process. All the reviews should be submitted through EasyChair. Each paper should obtain at least two reviews.
