ICTERI 2024 Scope and Structure

ICTERI is an annual peer-reviewed international Computer Science conference. It focuses on research, design, development, deployment, and usage of advanced Information Systems (IS) and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Infrastructures in industry and education. Special attention is given to the feasibility and practicality of the proposed ideas/solutions, with a focus on their potential or existing implementation. This can be demonstrated, for example, by a proof-of-concept implementation, a comprehensive prototype, a comprehensive case study, or the analysis of real use cases. Submissions on academic-industrial partnerships for ICT innovation, knowledge transfer, and technological/ methodological reports are also welcome.

Besides the main technical programme, ICTERI-2024 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 deeper look into a particular topic and as a meeting point for the community.

We call for half-day or full-day Workshop Proposals, which contribute to the enrichment of the ICTERI Thematic Track topics:

• Track 1: Advances in ICT Research
• Track 2: Information Systems: Technology and Applications
• Track 3: Academia/Industry Cooperation in ICT
• Track 4: ICT in Education

Workshop Proposals

Workshops should provide forums for discussion among researchers and practitioners on focused topics or emerging research areas. Organizers may structure workshops as they see fit, possibly including invited talks, panel discussions, presentations of work in progress, peer-reviewed papers, or some combination. Workshops could be scheduled for a half of a day or full day, depending on interest, space constraints, and organizer preference. Organizers should design workshops for approximately 15-30 participants to balance impact and effective discussion.

In order to meet these goals, a workshop proposal should present their topical scope that meets the following criteria:

• It falls into the general scope of ICTERI-2024
• There is a clear focus on a specific theme, research field, technology, problem, or application area
• There is a sufficiently large audience interested in the topic

The organizers of accepted workshops will prepare a workshop webpage containing a call for papers and detailed information about the workshop organization and timelines. The organizers of successful workshops will be responsible for:

• Their own submission and reviewing process
• Publicity (e.g., website, etc.)
• Publishing their own proceedings where they see fit

The organizers of the accepted workshops will be required to cooperate closely with the ICTERI-2024 program chairs and local organizers to finalize all mentioned details and ensure a successful co-located event.

Recommended Structure of a Proposal

It is strongly suggested that a Workshop Proposal includes:

• The name and acronym of the workshop
• The proposed duration of the workshop – half day or full day
• The abstract describing the proposed workshop for publishing (if accepted) at the conference website. The length of the abstract is circa 200 words.
• The description of the theme of the workshop. The list of the topics of interest. The description of the relation between the theme of the workshop and ICTERI-2024 themes.
• The types of submissions solicited by the proposed workshop. The proposers are suggested to check the types of papers called for by the main ICTERI-2024 conference at its website.
• A grounded estimation of the potential interest to the workshop theme and expected number of submissions
• The names and affiliations of the workshop organizers and program committee
• The information about previous offerings of the workshop (if any), including the numbers of attendees, the numbers of papers submitted and accepted, and the links to the corresponding websites and proceedings
• Publicity plan for attracting submissions and attendees
• Explanation of how the presentation of all accepted papers by the authors will be ensured
• Important dates

Proposals should clearly state in which mode (presential, hybrid, or virtual) the workshop will be run. We strongly recommend to opt for the presential mode.

It is recommended that the Workshops operate roughly within the timeline given in the Indicated Deadlines.
