[AISWorld] BIR 2017 call for workshop proposals

[Sudzina František]

CALL FOR WORKSHOPS
BIR 2017
16th International Conference on Perspectives in Business Informatics Research
The main goal of BIR 2017 workshops is to explore emerging research topics, and to provide a forum for authors and practitioners to present early results on the conference-related topics. Contributions to the workshops would be for presenting novel ideas in a less formal setting, possibly more focused on a particular topic than the regular conference sessions do. We seek proposals from individuals and teams interested in organizing strong workshops.
Organizers are inviting a half day (4 hours) or full day (8 hours) workshop proposals. Workshops are selfsustainable (not sponsored by the main conference). Workshop venue and equipment are provided free of charge.
The organizer(s) of approved workshops are responsible for:
● Advertising their workshop
● Managing workshops Website
● Organizing the review process
● Collecting camera-ready copies and verifying that they comply with the Springer LNBIP formatting rules
● Attending the workshop and providing a summary of the event to the BIR2017 workshop chair
