   books, or SCI Journal issues, might be published by IIIS, based on the
   best-invited   sessions,   the   best   focus  symposia  or  the  best
   mini-conferences, and the topic of the papers.




                              INVITED SESSIONS


   Based on past conferences experience, we suggest the following steps in
   order to organize an invited session:

    

   1)      Identify a special topic in the scope of CCCT '05, and the invited
   session title.

   2)       Fill  the  invited session organization form, provided in the
   conference  web  page: http://www.iiisconfer.org/ccct05/, and fill the
   respective form. If by any reasons you are not able to access the page
   mentioned     above,     please,     try     the    following    page:
   http://www.iiisconfer.org/ccct05/. If you don’t have access to the web,
   contact us via e-mail.

   3)      If the identified topic is suitable, the General Chair will accept
   the proposal, and you will receive an acceptation by e-mail, in a few days.
   This acceptation is not a final approval of the proposed session, but a
   pre-approval. The final approval will depend on identifying at least five
   papers for the proposed session and informing, at least, about their titles.
   With this acceptation: a) the proposed session will be included in the
   conference web page as well as its organizer and the chairs’ names, and b)
   its  organizer will be able to announce his/her invited session in the
   context of CCCT '05, by any media that he/she thinks appropriated, such as:
   Web page, hard copy call for papers, call for papers attached to e-mails,
   etc.

   4)      Contact researchers and/or practitioners in your field to see if
   they can contribute a paper to your proposed session and attend at CCCT '05.

   5)       Collect  the extended abstracts or the paper drafts from each
   prospective participant.

   6)      As soon as you have 5 papers, you will complete the form regarding
   the  invited  session  papers,  provided  in  the conference web page:
   http://www.iiisconfer.org/ccct05/.

   7)      Step 6 will take your invited session to the status of an approved
   one if the papers fulfill all the requirements (i.e. quality). All the
   approved  invited sessions will be included in the CCCT '05 conference
   program.

   8)      In order to obtain a more diverse and variety opinions, do not
   accept more than 2          papers from the same author, unless his/her
   co-author will be the one who will present the additional paper.


   Invited sessions and symposia organizers with the best performance will be
   co-editors of the proceedings volume where their session or symposia paper
   were included.


   Best invited sessions and symposia organizers are candidates for invited
   editors or co-editors of the SCI Journal special issue related to their
   field of research interest.
