[AISWorld] Final Call for Workshops - ICDE 2014

[Huiyong Xiao]

Final Call for Workshops - ICDE 2014 (www.ieee-icde2014.org)

The ICDE 2014 Conference (Chicago, USA, March 31-April 4, 2014) invites
submissions for workshop proposals on topics related to data engineering.
The ICDE 2014 workshops will be co-located with the main conference and the
duration of each workshop is either half a day or one day. Proposals for
workshops should be submitted (in pdf format) to all the three Workshops
chairs by July 15, 2013. Half-day and one-day workshops will take place on
March 31 or April 4th.

The proceedings of the workshops will be published jointly with the
conference proceedings.

Workshops will benefit from the registration process of ICDE 2014. Each
workshop will be charged a fixed amount per workshop participant for hotel
costs, equipment rental, coffee breaks, etc. Beyond this, if the organizers
of a workshop choose to charge additional fees to cover meals, etc., they
must inform the General Chairs of their intent and must manage the process
on their own.

Each workshop proposal must contain all pertinent information, including
the following:
- workshop title
- short description of the topic and format of the workshop
- explanation of why the proposed workshop is a good match with ICDE 2014
- names and contact information of the workshop organizer(s)
- names of members of the program committee (at least 50% must be known and
confirmed at the time of the proposal)
- special considerations regarding proceedings, if any
- proposal for important dates (paper submission deadline, notification
deadline, etc.)
- expected number of participants
- in case of previous instances of the workshop, the historical numbers of
participants
- in case of previous instances of the workshop, the historical submission
and acceptance counts
- preferred workshop duration and date(s)

The decision about acceptance/rejection of workshop proposals will be made
by the Workshops Chairs in consultation with the General and Research
Program Chairs, taking into account several factors including venue
capacity.

Evaluation criteria include overall quality and the fit with respect to the
expected ICDE 2014 program. Note that proposals are especially encouraged
on emerging topics that are relevant to data engineering and are not
already covered by the main conference. Notification will be given by
August 17th, 2013.

The organizers of successful workshops will be responsible for their own
review process and publicity (e.g., website). They are required to
cooperate closely with the Workshops Chairs and the ICDE 2014 local
organizers to finalize all details mentioned above, provide input for
publicity to the ICDE 2014 organizers, etc. In particular, local organizers
may require that all workshops adhere to a specific general timetable to
facilitate catering. Workshop organizers must inform the Workshop Chairs of
the numbers of submissions and acceptances as these numbers become
available. Workshops with fewer than 20 expected registrants may be
canceled at the discretion of the conference organizers. Only accepted
workshops are official ICDE workshops and enjoy the support mentioned above.
