Pre-Proposal Submission Inquiries:
Contact either of the workshop
co-chairs, Arkady Zaslavsky or Khai
Truong, if you would like to discuss a
workshop proposal (email:
pervasive08_workshops@nicta.com.au).
We solicit workshops in all areas related to Pervasive Computing.
In
particular we would like to encourage workshops focused on new
and emerging
research directions, novel and highly innovative themes,
real-world topics
including industrial and medical issues, system
or interaction topics and
interdisciplinary themes. The workshop
proposal should be a maximum of 3
pages.
Proposal Content:
- Name of workshop and proposed URL of site to
host CFP,
program, etc.
- Theme of the workshop and topics of
interest and how these
relate to the overall
conference
- Names, affiliations, and research interest of the
organizers
- Who do you expect to attend the workshop?
- How do
you plan to attract submissions and/or participants?
- Number of
participants that is expected (a range is
appropriate)?
- How
will you promote discussion among the participants?
- What is the
expected outcome of the workshop?
- What, if any, accommodations and
supplies do you require other
than a projector, pens and notepads for
each participant,
an easel with large paper and markers, and a room
and chairs
large enough for your participants?
- How do you
plan to organize the workshop (participant selection,
detailed
timeline, type of contributions)?
- How do you plan to run the workshop?
What types of activities
will you have?
Workshop Organization:
We encourage having an international team of
organizers for a workshop
who are from different institutions. We will aim
for a balanced workshop
program trying to avoid overlapping themes.
Organizers should be active themselves in the field in which they
propose
a workshop. All listed organizers are expected to attend those
workshops
they are organizing; i.e., do not include a potential organizer who
may
not be present at the workshop. Any change to the workshop
organization
team must be submitted in writing at least two weeks prior to
the
position paper deadline for individual workshops (January 11, 2008).
No changes to the workshop organization team can be made after this
date
to ensure that potential participants submitting position papers to
workshops are aware of the final organization team.
Please feel free to discuss ideas for a workshop proposal by email
with
the workshop chairs prior to submission.
Workshop Support:
The Pervasive 2008 conference will support the
workshops in the following
ways:
- Announce accepted workshops via
the Pervasive 2008 email
distribution list
- Publicize
abstracts of workshops on the Pervasive 2008 Web site
