                         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 (6-7 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
