Dear Colleagues and Friends,

Within the framework of the *2020 43rd International Conference on 
Telecommunications and Signal Processing (TSP - http://tsp.vutbr.cz)* 
held during July 6-8, 2020 in Milan, Italy, prospective Organizers are 
invited to submit proposals for Workshops and Special Sessions at TSP 
2020 Conference. Proposals are due through the form available at 
/http://tsp.vutbr.cz/?page_id=3492/ by *February 1, 2020* (Extended 
Deadline). The TSP Conference serves as a premier annual international 
forum to promote the exchange of the latest advances in 
telecommunication technology and signal processing. The aim of the 
Conference is to bring together both novice and experienced scientists, 
developers, and specialists, to meet new colleagues, collect new ideas, 
and establish new cooperation between research groups from universities, 
research centers, and private sectors from the whole Europe, America, 
Asia, Australia, and Africa.

For a Workshop and Special Session proposal to be considered for 
acceptance at TSP 2020 Conference, the proposed topic needs to be an 
emerging area in telecommunications or signal processing. The topic 
should be timely and significantly important to the technical audience, 
and the speakers need to convey compelling information about the topic. 
The proposals will be evaluated by the ability to introduce the area to 
large telecommunications and signal processing community, further 
develop the area, and help establishing a larger research community 
beyond the area.

Each Workshop and Special Session will be approx. 90 minutes long and 
will usually consist of 5 oral presentations, however, in case of larger 
interest the Workshop or Special Session will be divided to more parts. 
Other formats may be possible, including panel discussions, demos, or 
poster presentations.

The Organizer’s role is to invite the speakers, help with reviews, and 
chair the session itself.

Each speaker invited to a Workshop and Special Session will be required 
to submit a paper, under the regular submission requirements, by the 
regular submission deadline. These papers will enter the same system as 
regular papers, and be subject to reviews. The Organizer will be asked 
to help with selection of reviewers and in consultation with the program 
committee will make accept/reject decisions. It is possible that some 
invited papers may be rejected. However, this is expected to be a rare 
case since the Organizer should recruit only the high-quality papers to 
the Workshop or Special Session.

The invited speakers as well as the Organizer will be required to 
register for the conference. Registration fees will not be waived and 
there will be no honoraria available through TSP. For more information 
please visit the *'Call for Workshop & Special Session'* at website 
/http://tsp.vutbr.cz// . We are also ready to answer your questions 
emailed to tsp at feec.vutbr.cz.

Looking forward to meeting you in Milan, Italy.

With best regards,

Norbert Herencsar and Francesco Benedetto
TSP 2020 General Co-Chairs
