About Special Sessions Track

Special sessions explore emerging and interdisciplinary topics, including bioinformatics, healthcare, cybersecurity, transportation, and finance. Papers will be reviewed by domain experts and included in the main conference proceedings.

We invite Special Sessions proposals for organizing special sessions that emphasize novel, interactive, and high-impact discussions. Submissions will be evaluated based on topic relevance and alignment with the conference scope. Accepted special session organizers will be invited as “session chairs” to manage reviewers and submissions. See more details below about "Special Session Proposal Submission Guideline".

After the acceptance of the proposal, the organizers will need to prepare the CFP and invite reviewers for the special session. Note that the special session paper submission follows the same deadlines as Research and Industry tracks. Please see more details about "Special Session Proposal Submission Guideline".

Proposal Submission Guideline

  • Title: title (and possibly acronym) of the special session

  • Abstract: no more than 100 words, to allow conference attendees to understand the topic and the focus of the special session.

  • Aims and Scope: Description of its aims and the scope of suggested topics, for the interest to the general DM community and the ADMA2025 attendees.

  • Rationale: Explanation and justification on the novelty and timeliness of the special session, and its relevance to the ADMA community.

  • Organisation Team: Provide a list of organisers, with nominating at least one of them being the primary contact person(s). Specific information required for each organiser:

    • Names

    • Affiliations

    • Country

    • Short bio (including relevant event organisation experience)

    • Primary contact person or not.

    • E-mail

    • Homepage (if any)

  • A list of potential Technical Program Committee members

  • Estimated number of submissions

  • The paper should NOT exceed 15 pages in LNAI format.

  • Summary for the previous editions of this special session (if any), including particularly the number of papers received/accepted.

  • Submit via email: cao.y.af-adma25-special@ml.m.titech.ac.jp

Special Session Organisation Guideline

Once a special session proposal is accepted, the organisers should follow the steps to set up and manage the special session.

  • A website with the “call for papers” information for the accepted special session should be created and widely publicised via various mailing list and on social media.

  • Special session organisers join the “Special Session Track” as a session chair and should be able to manage reviewers and submissions. All submissions of a special session can be easily selected by ticking the corresponding option of “SUBJECT AREAS”.

  • Special session papers strictly follow the same specifications, requirements, and policies as the main track submissions in terms of the paper length, formatting, and important policies. Please refer to Submission Guideline in the main track Call for Papers.

  • The peer-review of special session submissions is coordinated by the corresponding special session organizers and should be fully aligned to the main track reviewing process and criteria. Technical Program Committee members should be invited and managed by the special session organisers, but the peer-review should be double-blind.

  • The special session organisers make recommendation of accepting/rejecting a paper in their special session, which must be validated by the Special Session Track Chairs. The final decision of accepting/rejecting a special session paper is made by the ADMA2025 Program Chairs to ensure uniform quality control for all special sessions and consistency with the main track.
