• Besides, also contributions with good reviews and/or that seem.in particular suitable for a specific special issue will be proposed to the guest editors for consideration.
• Guest editors will after the conference be in the lead for inviting authors in case the guest editor would like to consider (a possibly adapted/extended version of) their contribution for an SI.
• Author can then make the final decision on whether or not to accept this invitation. This may also depend on author considerations related to desire for publishing open access, IEEE, APC fee or not, etc.
