General Information
The organizers of FG 2017 invite proposals for Special Sessions and Panels to be held during the main conference which will be held from May 30 –June 3, 2017 in Washington, DC.
Proposals may be submitted on any topic that falls into the broader area of face and gesture recognition, modeling and analysis. We particularly encourage proposals that highlight emerging new fields, application domains and challenges related to face and gesture as well as interdisciplinary topics that bring new perspectives to the FG community. Proposers should have a strong record in the proposed field.
Submission Guidelines
Proposals should be submitted to the Special Session and Panel Chairs with the subject field “FG 2017 Proposal: [title of session]”. A proposal must include the following information:
- The title of the proposed Special Session or Panel.
- A brief description of the topic, including how it stands apart from the regular FG topics/sessions.
- Contact information and short bio of the organizers.
- For a Special Session: a list of proposed contributions to the special session (including authors, title, and short abstract).
- For a Panel: a list of proposed panelists and their expected perspectives/contributions.Paper preparation and review
