Call for Workshop Proposals
-----------------------------

Fourth International Joint Conference on Ambient Intelligence (AmI-13)
Dublin, Ireland.
December 3rd - 5th 2013

http://www.ami-13.org/


Workshops are an opportunity to meet in the context of the conference and discuss a common theme and/or common topics of interest. In particular, emerging and future areas in AmI are particularly suitable to the workshop format.
The workshop should have the potential to move the field forward and suggest promising directions. Workshops could be either half-day (3 hours per day) or full day (6 hours per day). Prospective workshop organizers are invited to submit a proposal for consideration. If the workshop is accepted, it will be publicized on the conference web site and potential participants invited to submit a paper. Criteria, reviewing and acceptance is handled by the workshop organizers. Workshops are only open to people accepted by the workshop organizers and registered for the conference; however a minimum number of attendees for the workshop will be defined by the conference. Workshop organizers will be expected to set up an external web page delivering all the necessary information for interested people.

Please submit a one/two page proposal using the following headings
1. Title of Workshop
2. Organizers, Affiliations and Contact details
3. Brief description of Topic of Workshop
4. Rationale - why this topic is of interest
5. Experience of Organizing workshops/conferences
6. Outline of plan for organizing the workshop including, for example, publicity, TPC recruitment, Review procedures, expected number of participants, profile of participants and any other information deemed relevant.

On acceptance of the workshop proposal, organizers will be asked to prepare a two page outline for inclusion in the conference proceedings. Final camera-ready versions of accepted workshop proposals must be accompanied by a signed copyright form.
