BDEE2024 invites Special Sessions to enrich and broaden the research focus
of the main conference. The purpose is to provide a comprehensive forum on
topics that will not be fully explored during the main event, as well as to
encourage in-depth discussion of technical and application issues related to
dependability, security, and automaticity. This is a unique opportunity for
researchers and industry practitioners to shape the future research
directions as well as share their original research results and practical
development experiences on specific topics related to dependability,
security, and automaticity.
The proposals should contain the following information:
-
Title of the special session, including both full name and abbreviation;
-
Brief technical description of the special session, scope and
objectives, identification of specific technical issues, focus (up to 1
page);
-
Names and contact information of the organizers;
-
Procedures for selecting papers (including the expected number of
accepted papers), and the expected number of participants;
-
One-page CFP of the special session, including the submission deadline
and notification date (according to the dates established for the main
conference);
-
Brief plans for dissemination (e.g., how to publicize special session or
possible submissions to special issues of journals);
-
Tentative website/URL of the proposed special session (optional).

provide facilities including the paper submission systems, working notes
printing, meeting rooms, coffee breaks, lunches, proceedings preparation, etc.
A special session paper should follow the same Paper Submission Guidelines as
the main Congress papers. Each paper should be reviewed at least by two
reviewers in the corresponding areas. All accepted special session papers will
be included in the same conference proceedings.
The accepted papers in a cancelled special session may be moved to special

registration requirement and procedure for papers will be determined by the
organizing committee, and the registration fee will be paid directly to
BDEE2024. The registration fee can be waived for a main
special session organizer if there are more than 5 accepted papers.
