WORKSHOP ORGANIZATION

Workshop organizers will be responsible for the following:

• Constituting the workshop program committee
• Advertising the workshop
• Managing the paper review and selection process
• Ensuring that at least one author of each accepted paper attends to present the paper (this may require announcing regulations that stipulate this as a prerequisite for the publication of the paper in the workshop proceedings.)
• Ensuring that the workshop delivers useful scholarly/research value via active discussion/debate.

Workshops may be full-day or half-day.

It is likely that the proceedings of accepted workshops will be jointly produced as a Springer volume (in the form of a post-proceedings), but a formal proposal to Springer will only be made after the accepted workshops and their program committees are finalized.

Working notes of the workshops (including papers to be eventually published in the joint workshop volume) will be locally printed for distribution on the workshop day.

Workshop Proposal Submission

Workshop proposals should include the following elements:

• Workshop title
• Name, affiliation, postal and e-mail addresses of each (proposed) workshop chair
• A brief (1-page) CV of each (proposed) workshop chair, highlighting prior experience in organizing similar fora
• A brief description of the topic of the workshop and its relevance to the conference (not exceeding 500 words)
• Proposed duration of the workshop (full-day or half-day)
• A list of likely program committee members
• A description of the paper review and selection process (it is recommended that each paper is reviewed by 3 distinct members of the workshop program committee)
