Call for Workshops
Researchers and practitioners are
invited to submit proposals for workshops on topics related to
DSS and its applications.
The purpose of the workshops is to provide a forum for members of a
focused research community to present preliminary research results and
discuss position-style papers. Workshops are alternative forums for
presenting full research papers. As such, organisers are encouraged to
adopt an format that fosters interaction and discussion, devoting less
focus to individual, formal presentations.
The DSS 2010 Organising Committee invites
proposals for one day workshops to be held in conjunction with the conferences.
Prospective workshop organisers are requested to follow
the guidelines below and are encouraged to contact the workshops chair
should any questions arise.
Proposals should include
- The title, theme, and goals of the workshop.
- The targeted audience and the expected minimum and maximum number of participants. We prefer that workshops remain open to participation from any members of the community, but by-invitation-only workshops will also be considered. Please explicitly state your preference.
- The publicity strategy that will be used by the workshop organisers to promote the workshop.
- The participant solicitation and selection process.
- Publication plan. Each workshop is responsible for managing its own publication (e.g., pre- or post- proceedings), if any is desired. Several options are available:
- informal distribution from a private web page (managed by you)
- printing an informal booklet directly in Lisbon (for a small fee, and with reasonable deadlines in advance to allow printing time)
State your publication intentions in your proposal.
- A preliminary version of the call for papers. This CFP must include important dates including submission, notification, and camera-ready deadlines.
- The equipment and any other resource necessary for the organisation of the workshop.
- A brief description of the organiser's background, including relevant past experience on organising workshops and contact information.
Review Process
Workshop proposals will be reviewed by the organisers. Acceptance is
based on an evaluation of the workshop's potential for generating
useful results, the timeliness and expected interest in the topic, the
organiser's ability to lead a successful workshop, and potential for
attracting sufficient number of participants.
Publication/Presentation
Workshop organisers are responsible for following items:
- A workshop description (200 words).
- Hosting and maintaining web pages to be linked from this site.
