List of Accepted Invited Sessions

  • Approved Invited Sessions are presented in the table below.
  • We encourage authors to consider submitting their manuscripts to an Invited Session, when possible, rather than to a Regular Session, as this can help ensure their work reaches the most relevant and engaged audience. Authors may submit their manuscripts to any invited session listed below — even if their paper was not originally included in the proposal.
  • Contributions to Invited Sessions should be submitted via Papercept Portal, using the submission code shown in the table.
