The PRIMA 2018 Conference Committee invites proposals for the Workshop
Program. Workshops will be held at the beginning of the
conference, on October 29-30, 2018.

Workshops can vary in length from half a day to two days, though we expect
most to be one full day in duration. As attendance will be limited to 
registered participants, workshop organizers and attendees must register for 
their workshop, whose fee will be separate from the main conference fee. 
Workshop attendees do not need to register for the main PRIMA conference, but 
are encouraged to do so.

Important Dates

June 30th, 2018: 
Submit a proposal of a workshop via 
   https://goo.gl/d5X4H8 

The proposal should contain the proposed workshop title and a short description of the 
event, including description of the paper review process and acceptance 
standards, a list of potential program committee members, including their 
titles and affiliations, and a tentative list of places (distribution lists, 
websites, journals, etc.) where the workshop is planned to be advertised.

Selection Criteria

The selection of workshops for the final program will be based upon multiple 
factors, including the scientific/technical interest of the topics in 
relation to the PRIMA community, the clarity of the proposal in addressing 
the requested information, the innovative character of workshop topics, the 
cross disciplinary nature of the workshop, the capacity of the organizers in 
leading a successful workshop, and the capacity of the conference workshop 
program.
