new research directions and novel applications, and provide excellent opportunities for networking. Workshops should have a call for papers and therefore typically feature several regular paper presentations. These can be complemented with other activities
such as invited talks, panels, demos, roundtables, and hands-on sessions.</span></p>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">*Special sessions* provide organizers with an opportunity to host a session about a dedicated topic related to the conference as part of the technical program. Organizers
are expected to recruit submissions, invite speakers, and take other related actions to organize their sessions. They should have a separate call for papers and typically feature at least four paper presentations, which can be complemented with other activities,
such as invited talks or panels.</span></p>
