Call for Mini Track Proposals

The 12th International Conference on Innovations in Information Technology (IIT’16) invites submission of mini track proposals for the following research tracks:

  • Track 1: Communication Networks and Information Security
  • Track 2: Data Science and Information Systems
  • Track 3: Software and Embedded Systems

 

At IIT’16, mini tracks will be organized in sections. Each section consists of 3 or 4 papers, with each paper briefly summarized by the authors, leaving adequate time for good discussion and questions. Each mini track can have up to 3 co-chairs. One of them will serve as a primary contact. Together, mini track co-chairs will be responsible for:

  • Soliciting Manuscripts for the mini track
  • Acquiring reviewers to the submissions received by your mini track (each paper should be reviewed by at least 3 qualified people)
  • Overseeing the review process
  • Consolidating reviews and submitting decision for each submission
  • Providing one-page mini track introduction for the conference proceedings
  • Selecting best paper nomination
  • Attending the pre-paper session meetings with your Track Co-Chair(s) and authors in your mini track on the first day of the conference
  • Managing paper presentations during the conference
