The Program Committee is soliciting proposals for pre-organized sessions in one of the topic areas or related to the global scope. Also, new sessions in the interdisciplinary spirit of the Neurocybernetics are welcome. Prospective organizers should contact organization staff at <iwann@dia.uned.es> as soon as possible.

It is the purpose of the programme committee that a substantial part of the contributions came from pre-organized sessions around the topics included in the call for papers, but not limited to these, provided the basic idea.

All the authors willing to submit a paper under a pre-organized session (refereed by session organizer and one external referee) must agree with the session organizer about the inclusion of the paper in the session and select it in the Paper Submission Form.

Any paper under a session could be changed to other session (or to the general program), if the initial session has excessive number of papers or it is not finally realized, when the Program Committee considers it appropiated.

Information about current pre-organized sessions can be found in the List of Pre-organized Sessions.
