Call for Special Sessions

The Speech Prosody 2008 Program has room for two Special Sessions. In the Special Session, invited speakers coordinated by a chair aim to promote a state-of-the-art discussion on an issue that attracts the attention of present research. The organiser and/or proponent of the session will be the Special Session Chair.

Each Special Session has a time span of one hour and forty minutes. In order to have a more throughly discussion we recommend a maximum of four presenters for each special session.

We call all groups interested in organising a special session to submit a proposal. All proposals will be analysed by the SP2008 chairs and communicated to the proponents. All proposals should contain the theme, the names of the coordinator(s) and presenters, as well as a short, 100-word explanation of the reason for proposing the theme for SP2008.

Papers submitted to a Special Session will be revised by the session chair and must be submitted as 6-page PDF files.

The proposal should be sent in PDF format to sp2008_scient@iel.unicamp.br until January 21st, 2008.
There is still room left for two Special Sessions!
