-----------------------------

Sessions

Session organizers should provide a session invitation of 300 to 500
words relating to a well-defined theme. You should define the topic,
explain its importance, and suggest the specific themes or issues that
might be appropriately addressed by your contributors. A session can
consist of two or three 90-minute blocks of time punctuated by a
15-minute break. It typically consists of six, but no more than nine,
presentations and should include time for debate and discussion as
well as an introduction and a wrap-up. Session proposals may include
one or more abstracts of papers that will be presented, but will
normally leave open the possibility for members of CAA to apply to
participate in the proposed session. All session proposals will be
evaluated by the Scientific Committee for their quality and relevance.
This review will take into account any paper abstracts you include
with your session proposal. Once a proposal has been accepted, it is
placed on the conference web page, and an invitation is issued for
additional paper abstracts to be submitted to your session. The
session organizer will advise the Scientific Committee on which papers
should be accepted or rejected for their session. The organizer will
also be responsible for scheduling the order of presentations,
presiding over the session, and for nominating two or three of the
papers for publication in the printed acts of the conference.

Round Tables and Workshops

Round table and workshop organizers should provide an invitation of
300 to 500 words introducing the discussion topic.

A round table proposal includes a list of four to eight panel members
(names and affiliations) from at least two different countries. It
should address a topic of general interest to the CAA community. The
round table organizer must ensure that the panel members agree to
attend the conference and take part in the round table. A round table
organizer is the chairperson and acts as moderator. A time slot of 90
minutes will be allocated to each round table discussion. All round
table proposals will be evaluated by the Scientific Committee for
their quality and relevance.

A workshop typically consists of a software and/or hardware
demonstration in which the audience can actively participate. The
proposal must include information on the duration (not to exceed 135
minutes), experience level, and prerequisites of the targeted audience
as well as the maximum number of participants. Along with the
proposal, a list of the presenters and their affiliations is required.
