The MAPE 2026 organizing committee cordially invites proposals for Special Sessions for the conference held in Nanjing, China on November 21-22, 2026. Each session can either contain up to 6 papers in a regular session time period, or contain up to 12 papers in two session periods. Special Sessions organizers are required to prepare and send the following proposal form to mapeconf@163.com. The proposals will be reviewed by the committee and all organizers/speakers are required to register for the conference and pay full registration fees. Special Sessions extend for a conference time-slot and they will be held during the conference, in parallel to regular sessions. Please also note that all papers will be reviewed as regular submissions by anonymous reviewers. The certificates for special sessions will be provided to acknowledge the contributions of the organizers and speakers. We would like to seek your understanding that the sessions may be canceled, should there be an insufficient number of speakers/participants or other unforeseen circumstances.
