We are pleased to announce the following approved special sessions to be held in ISIC 2009. These topics are timely and interesting. We would like to congratulate the special session organizers for successfully soliciting many high quality abstracts for their sessions. We foresee these sessions will foster active intellectual exchanges and create a good repercussion in ISIC 2009.
Some special sessions are still under revision and review. We will update them once they are approved. Prospective authors who are interested to participate in any of these special sessions can submit their contributions under the appropriate special session title in the online paper submission system before the due date of 1 July 2009.
