The Organizing Committee can accept proposal for Special Sessions from qualified scientists that want to contribute to this event. Special sessions have the prestige of a really targeted audience.

On the other hand, it has been observed that in special sessions all (or almost all) the papers are presented as well as several discussions with serious comments and questions take place after the presentation. Many successfull WSEAS Conferences started in the beginning as Special Sessions or Workshops in some previous WSEAS conference.
You could submit a session online using the following form:

The conference started as an initiative in the Technical University of Bucharest, Romania, (November 7-9, 2008). In 2009, the conference was held in Puerto De La Cruz, Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain (December 14-16, 2009) with the support of several university laboratories and societies. University of Algarve was the host and organizer of this conference in Faro of Portugal in 2010 (November 3-5, 2010). In 2001 and 2012,  with the Sponsorship of the Universita degli Studi di Genova, Italy and Technical Univ. of Sofia, Bulgaria the conference the conference is organized in Catania, Sicily, Italy (November 3-5, 2011) and in Malta (September 7-9, 2012)
