Call for Special Sessions
E2A 2027 invites proposals for Special Sessions focusing on emerging, interdisciplinary, and high-impact research topics.
The Organizing Committee of E2A 2027 invites proposals for Special Sessions (SS) to be held as part of the conference program. These sessions aim to complement the main technical tracks by focusing on emerging, interdisciplinary, and high-impact research topics. Special Sessions provide a platform for researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and government organizations to present state-of-the-art developments, novel applications, and future directions in specialized domains.
