Special Sessions
Special sessions are very small and specialized events to be held during the conference as a set of oral and poster presentations that are highly specialized in some particular theme or consisting of the works of some particular international project. The goal of special sessions (minimum 4 papers; maximum 9) is to provide a focused discussion on innovative topics. All accepted papers will be published in a special section of the conference proceedings book, under an ISBN reference. The proceedings are abstracted/indexed in DBLP, Google Scholar, EI-Compendex, INSPEC, Japanese Science and Technology Agency (JST), Norwegian Register for Scientific Journals and Series, Mathematical Reviews, SCImago, Scopus and zbMATH. CCIS volumes are also submitted for the inclusion in ISI Proceedings.
Symposia proposals are accepted until:
March 1, 2027

Scope
As quantum computing moves from theoretical promise toward practical application, the engineering challenges of building, running, and orchestrating quantum software are becoming as important as the quantum algorithms themselves. The special session on Quantum Services and Orchestration brings together researchers and practitioners to explore how established software engineering principles can be employed in the context of quantum computing, and where new approaches are needed for the unique demands of hybrid quantum-classical systems. By focusing on collaboration, the special session will foster sharing insights between participants on theoretical foundations, practical applications, and the development and orchestration of hybrid systems that leverage the best of both worlds. Thereby, it provides a forum for discussing and improving preliminary research results and emerging ideas.
