CALL FOR SPECIAL SESSIONS

We solicit proposals for special sessions that will be held within the 5th EAI International Conference on Smart Objects and Technologies for Social Good (GOODTECHS 2019) that will be held in Valencia in 2019, from September 25 to September 27.
Within the main conference, GOODTECHS 2019 will feature conference special sessions (5 to 6 presentations) and invites the submission of special session proposals. The aim of the special session is to focus on a specific topic of interest for the conference. Special sessions should highlight current topics related to experiences with the design, implementation, deployment, operation and evaluation of smart objects and technologies for social good.
Presentations delivered during the special session are based on original papers that have been selected through peer-review process and that have not been previously published. Accepted special session papers will be included in the Conference Proceedings.
