Call for Special Sessions
ICANDVC-2026 seeks to provide focused discussions on emerging topics and innovative engineering applications of established nonlinear dynamics and vibration control theories during the conference. To further promote the synthetic efforts of researchers and engineers from diverse backgrounds, the organization of Special Sessions is highly encouraged.
A Special Session typically consists of eight related papers, which could address a specific theme (such as energy harvesting, structural health monitoring, or bio-inspired vibration isolation), showcase findings from a collaborative international project, or focus on a specialized subfield of applied nonlinear dynamics vibration, and control. The goal of these sessions is to create a dedicated forum where authors can meet to discuss their latest advances and foster interdisciplinary cooperation.
ICANDVC-2026 welcomes active members of ongoing collaborative projects, focused PhD research groups, or any other organizers to submit their proposals for Special Sessions.
HOW TO WRITE A PROPOSAL
Proposals for special sessions should include:
- • A proposed title for the session;
- • A brief 2-3 paragraph summary for the session explaining the goal of the session and the overarching themes of the submitted papers;
- • A list of papers with name and a short biography of contributing authors, and tentative abstracts (max. 2 page extended) for the papers, which will not be published in the proceedings;
How to Submit
Prospective organizers should use the provided template, and submit as a PDF via submission system. Proposals with significant overlap will possibly be merged.
Once a Special Session is accepted, the papers organized under that session will then be submitted to system by MAY 19, 2026. These papers will undergo the same strict review process like all other ICANDVC-2026 papers and, if accepted, will be published in the proceedings.
PROPOSAL TEMPLATE STRUCTURE
Your proposal should include the following sections:
1. Title of the proposed Special Session;
2. Objectives (max. 2000 characters);
3. Keywords;
4. Invited Papers (8 papers - Name, Title, Affiliation of Corresponding Authors);
5. List of Potential Associated Editors (x 2) - Name, Affiliation;
