CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
===========================
The ECAI 2004 Committee invites proposals for workshops to be held
on 22-23
August 2004, immediately preceding the main ECAI 2004 conference.
The scope of the proposal should be consistent with the conference
themes as
described in the ECAI 2004 Call for Papers
(http://www.dsic.upv.es/ecai2004).
To encourage interaction, the workshops will be kept small. Attendance
should
be limited to active participants only. Workshops are intended to be
genuine
interactive events and not mini-conferences. Thus, although the
format of
workshop presentations are to be determined by their organizers,
ample time
should be allotted for general discussions.
How to propose a workshop?
--------------------------
Proposals for workshops should contain:
- A title and brief description of the workshop topic and content.
- The reasons why the workshop is of interest at this time. If the
workshop is
part of a series, please list previous workshops.
- The names, postal addresses, phone number and email addresses
of the
Workshop Organizing Committee, which should consist of at least three
people
knowledgeable in the field but not all at the same institution. The
name of
one member of the Workshop Organizing Committee who is
designated the
contact person.
- The desired workshop length (half or full day), and an estimate
of the
audience size.
- A schedule for organizing the workshop and a preliminary agenda.
- A description of special requirements for technical needs
(computer
infrastructure, etc.)
Please submit your workshop proposals by e-mail to the ECAI 2004
Workshop
Chair ([log in to unmask]).
Additional information
----------------------
Workshop organizers will be responsible for:
- Producing and distributing a Call for Participation in the workshop
open to
all members of the AI community. The Call for Participation
should make
clear that all workshop participants are expected to register for
the main
ECAI 2004 conference and that the number of participants is
limited. It
should also make clear the process by which the Workshop
organizing
Committee will select the participants.
- Reviewing requests to participate in the workshop and
selecting the
participants.
- The production of camera-ready copy for the workshop
proceedings in
accordance with guidelines supplied by the Workshop Chair.
- Providing a provisional list of workshop participants.
- Workshops must be financially self-supporting. The conference
organizers
will establish workshop registration rates so as to provide the
room,
audio-visual equipment, Internet access, snacks for breaks, and the
workshop
proceedings.
