                         CAiSE 22
             34th International Conference on
          Advanced Information Systems Engineering
                      Leuven, Belgium
                      June 6-10, 2022


Got a brilliant topic you want to bring the community around? 
Want to spike interesting and vibrant discussions around ideas?

We invite you to submit your workshop proposal for CAiSE 2022, which will be held in
Leuven, Belgium, in June 2022.

CAiSE is a well-established, highly visible conference series on Advanced Information
Systems Engineering. It covers all relevant topics of information systems (IS)
engineering, including methodologies and approaches for IS engineering, innovative
platforms, architectures and technologies, and engineering of specific kinds of IS. CAiSE
conferences also have the tradition of hosting workshops in related areas. Workshops are
intended to focus on particular topics and provide ample room for discussions of new ideas
and developments.

The workshop organizers are encouraged to focus their events on topics that are not
already explicitly addressed by the two co-located working conferences BPMDS and EMMSAD.

Two kinds of workshops are invited:

1) Presentation-oriented workshops: These will concentrate on presentations of accepted
papers and discussions of these papers. The proceedings of these workshops are intended to
be published as one volume in the Springer LNBIP series. According to Springer standards,
the acceptance rate of full papers (12 pages) should not exceed 45%-50%. Some of the
contributions might be accepted as short papers (6 pages) and they will appear in a
designated section of the proceedings. However, the overall acceptance rate, still, should
not be higher than 45%-50%.
    
2) 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 proposal (up to 1000 words) should cover the following points:

Workshop title, duration (1 day or 2 days), preferred date (28-29 June 2022), workshop
type (presentation-oriented or discussion-oriented).

The organizers (PC chairs, other organizers who will be present at the workshop or are
otherwise involved, including the person responsible for web presence and communication).
Please include names, addresses, affiliations, and indicate the main responsible person.
The submission should include a one-paragraph biographical sketch for each organizer,
describing relevant qualifications and experience.

Purpose: What are the main goals of the workshop? Please list the workshop topics. How
does the focus of the workshop differ from the main conference? How does the focus of the
workshop differ from other potential CAiSE events (you are advised to look at the
workshops and working conferences held at CAiSE 2020 and CAiSE 2021 and differentiate your
scope from theirs)?

Organization of the workshop: Specify the type of contributions, distribution into
sessions, type of sessions, etc. Mention if you plan to have any keynote speaker (please
note that the conference organization will not cover fees, travel expenses, accommodation
and registration cost of keynote speakers). Include any special requirement regarding
infrastructure and room layout. In particular, specify the proceedings type. For
presentation-oriented workshops, LNBIP will be the default option. For discussion-oriented
workshops, specify how you will publish the contributions and how you plan to make them
available to attendees (especially if you plan to require some support from the conference
organization).

Tentative list of PC members.

An estimate of the number of papers to be accepted, and the number of attendees. If
applicable, short information on previous editions of the workshop series (this should
include submission, acceptance, and attendance information).

Short information on your plans for publicizing your workshop and making it highly
visible.

-----
Workshop proposals should be submitted (*by email*) to:

Jelena Zdravkovic (jelenaz at dsv.su.se), 
Jennifer Horkoff (jenho at chalmers.se), and 
Estefania Serral (estefania.serralasensio at kuleuven.be).

Prior contact with the workshop chairs is encouraged. The organizer(s) of approved
workshops will be responsible for advertising their workshop, eliciting high-quality
submissions, the reviewing process of their workshop’s papers according to the principles
and guidelines of the CAiSE organizers, and 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.

-----
Deadline for proposal submission: 18 October 2021
Notification of workshop acceptance: 1 November 2021
