The Organizing Committee can accept proposal for Special Sessions from qualified scientists that want to contribute to this event. Special sessions have the prestige of a really targeted audience.

On the other hand, it has been observed that in special sessions all (or almost all) the papers are presented as well as several discussions with serious comments and questions take place after the presentation. Many successfull WSEAS Conferences started in the beginning as Special Sessions or Workshops in some previous WSEAS conference.
You could submit a session online using the following form:
