Symposium Proposal Submission Guideline

A symposium provides an opportunity to examine specific problems or topics from different perspectives. Papers presented in a symposium should be on the same theme and should complement each other. Presentations should be organized within a 75 minute time period including 3 talks.

The organizer of a symposium is responsible for suggesting the topic and securing speakers. If the symposium is accepted by the Program Committee, the organizer is responsible for assuring that everyone named as a participant (presenter) would be present at the conference. The organizer is responsible for notifying all other symposium participants. The Program Committee will notify only the organizer. The proposal can be emailed to accs2026@uohyd.ac.in

During the submission process for the symposium proposal, please provide information on the following specific items.

  • Title of the symposium.

  • Names of co-presenters (list the topic for each co-presenter) and their institutional affiliations.

  • List the names and institutional affiliations of the organizer(s)

  • Proposal summary of about 200 words.

  • Please DO NOT IDENTIFY THE AUTHOR(S) OR THEIR INSTITUTIONAL AFFILIATIONS ANYWHERE IN THE SUMMARY. This will provide for a blind review of the proposal.
