The ICSOC conference solicits proposals for Special Sessions and Tutorials related to any of the conference topics, as follows:

ICSOC 2021 will feature Special Sessions which may consist of one or more tracks, organized under a common theme. Special Sessions are intended to allow projects or other groups of authors to present their own work. These can include one invited speaker, besides papers. Organizers of special sessions are responsible for defining the full contents of their sessions. It is not required that open calls for papers are launched for Special Sessions, in order to attract authors or presenters, but open calls are a possibility. Submitted papers to the special sessions must be evaluated by the session organizers and will be included in the proceedings.
