A minimum of 8 accepted papers with authors from at least three independent institutions is required for each session. If a session has few papers, accepted papers will be allocated to relevant regular sessions wherever possible. If a session has more than 8 accepted papers, the session organizers will select the more relevant 8 to the special session title, and the remaining accepted papers will be allocated to relevant regular sessions. The DINS-2026 Convener may take necessary steps, including cancellation of the respective special session.
