Proposal Content
================
Workshop title
Abstract (less than 200 words)
Name, affiliation, postal address, and
e-mail address for each organizer
Identification of the primary contact
person(s)
Background and Motivation: What is the
overall topic of the workshop? Why is this topic of particular interest
at this time? If the workshop has been organized in the past at Pervasive
Health or other conferences, please give details of previous instances
(venue, URL) and describe why it should be held again and how it will extend
and build upon previous ones.
Objectives: What are the objectives
that the workshop aims to achieve? Objectives may include but are not limited
to (a) targeting a predefined set of focus questions, (b) presenting alternate
views on a particular issue that is of concern to the Pervasive Health
community and attempting to resolve the issue, (c) identifying priorities
for new directions of research, and/or (d) initiating the appropriate collaborations
and building community around a theme of interest. If you have a plan to
produce a book or a journal special issue as a result of your workshop,
please indicate these plans.
Format: Give a description of the proposed
workshop format, including the target number of participants, planned activities
(such as introductions, invited talks, breakout group activities, demos,
general discussion), as well as how these activities address the workshop
objectives. Preference will be given to proposals for activities designed
to fuel discussion and interaction among participants; workshops consisting
solely of paper presentations are discouraged. Provide a preliminary schedule
with estimated times. Design your schedule for a length of 6 hours (full-day
workshop) with a lunch break and two coffee breaks.
Soliciting Submissions: Indicate how
you plan to attract submissions and/or participants. Tactics may include
creating a workshop web page, circulating a call to relevant mailing lists,
and publicizing your workshop at other relevant venues.
Selecting Participants: Indicate how
you plan to select participants and contributions to the workshop. Describe
the relevant criteria and/or review process that will be used to select
position papers. Indicate if you are planning to have a program committee
to help with the organization/review process or whether reviewing and selection
will be conducted solely by the organizers. Having a program committee
is strongly encouraged since it typically increases the appeal of the workshop
and ensures a more rigorous peer-review process.
Organizers: Give short descriptions
of each of the organizers' background and interests related to pervasive
computing and the specific workshop topic.
Workshop Selection
==================
Workshop proposals will be peer-reviewed
by the Co-Chairs and a committee of experts based on the criteria described
above. We aim to select a diverse set of workshops and avoid having multiple
workshops on overlapping themes.
Organizers of selected workshops will
be asked to produce a Call for Papers to describe the workshop to potential
participants and solicit submissions. The criteria for assessment will
include:
- Originality and technical merit
of the topic
- Motivation
- Wider interest in the topic
- Topical link to the main conference
- Workshops Journal Special Issue
