CAISE 2016 Call for workshops proposals
------------------------------------
The 28th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems
Engineering (CAiSE 2016) will be organized on 13-17 June 2016, in
Ljubljana (Slovenia).
CAiSE 2016, the 28th edition of the CAiSE series, invites proposals
for workshops to be held in conjunction with the conference, related
to the CAiSE topics, covering new emerging topics and targeting
ground-breaking papers in a special focus area.
------------------------------------
Two kinds of workshops are invited:
Presentation-oriented workshops: These will concentrate
on presentations of accepted papers and discussion about these
papers. The proceedings of these workshops are intended to be
published as one volume in the Springer LNBIP series.Some of the
contributions might be accepted as short papers (6 pages) and they
will appear in a designated section of the proceedings. According to
Springer standards, the acceptance rate should not be higher than
45%-50%.
Discussion-oriented workshops: These will emphasize
discussions facilitated by paper presentations. Since the main
criterion for paper acceptance in such workshops is relevance and
potential for raising discussion, they are not expected to have
their proceedings in the Springer LNBIP volume. The workshop
organizers are expected to manage their own proceedings (e.g., using
the CEUR series). Workshop proposals should be submitted to the
CAiSE’16 Workshops Chairs. Prior contact with the workshop chairs is
encouraged.
------------------------------------
The organizer(s) of approved workshops will be responsible
for advertising their workshop, for eliciting high quality
submissions, for the reviewing process of their workshop’s papers,
and for the collection of camera-ready copies of accepted papers
(verifying that they comply with the formatting rules). Organizers
(including co-organizers) are expected to attend their entire
workshop, and to provide a summary of the event to the CAiSE
organisers. For those workshops to join the LNBIP proceedings, they
will be asked to use Easychair for at least the final version of the
papers to support an efficient proceedings process.
------------------------------------
IMPORTANT DATES
- Workshop proposal submission deadline: 11th October 2015 -
Notification of acceptance: 6th November 2015
- Camera ready of all papers and summary by workshop chairs: 30th
March 2016

make them available to attendees (especially if you plan to require
some support from the conference organization).
5. Tentative list of PC members.
