Call for WORKSHOP Proposals

Besides the main technical programme, ICTERI 2015 will host a number of workshops on topics related to the general theme of the conference. The role of the workshops is to provide a platform for a more intensive scientific exchange amongst researchers interested in a particular topic and as a meeting point for the community.

Important Dates
20.01.2015 – workshop proposal submission deadline
01.02.2015 – acceptance notification
28.04.2015 – camera ready papers
28.04.2015 – registration deadline
14-16.05.2015 – main conference days

The following dates are suggested for workshop organizers to put their activity in line with the Main ICTERI 2015:

• 01.03.2015 – submission of Workshop Papers
• 29.03.2015 – notification about acceptance of Workshop Papers
• 14.05.2015 – Workshops day

Organizers may structure workshops as they see fit, possibly including invited talks, panel discussions, presentations of work in progress, fully peer-reviewed papers, or some combination.

Duration: Workshops could be scheduled for a half day or a full day, depending on interest, space constraints, and organizer preference.

Audience and Focus: Organizers should design workshops for approximately 10-30 participants to balance impact and effective discussion. For being attractive to the potential audience workshops should address topics that satisfy the following criteria:

• The topic fits in the general scope of ICTERI 2015
• There is a clear focus on a specific theme, technology, problem, or application
• There is a sufficiently large audience interested in the topic

These need to be clearly explained in the tutorial proposal.
Workshop proposal should comprise the following:

• The name and acronym of the workshop
• A description (0.5-1 page) of the theme of the workshop
• A description of the relation between the theme of the workshop and of ICTERI 2015
• An estimation of potential interest to the workshop theme and the number of submissions
• A list of topics of interest
• The names and affiliations of the workshop organizers, and of a significant part of the program committee
• Data about previous offerings of the workshop (if any), including the attendance, the numbers of papers or presentations submitted and accepted, and the links to the corresponding websites
• A publicity plan for attracting submissions and attendees
• The description of the paper submission procedure, review process, and proposed deadlines
• Please indicate any additional equipment (if needed). The standard equipment includes an overhead projector, a single projection screen and microphones.

The organizers of the accepted workshop will be required to closely cooperate with the ICTERI 2015 PC Chairs and local organizers to finalize all mentioned details and ensure a successful satellite event.
If the organizers of a proposed workshop wish to do so, their accepted papers may be included in the international proceedings volume of ICTERI 2015 published electronically and in open access on CEUR-WS.org. Alternatively, the organizers may decide to publish their proceedings elsewhere.
The plan and venue for publication should be presented in the workshop proposal.
The best workshop papers among the accepted and presented at the conference, selected by the steering committee members, will be invited to be revised and extended for the ICTERI post-proceedings volume to be published by Springer Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS) series.
