IEEE/CIC ICCC 2015 Call for Workshop Proposals

The fourth IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC 2015) will be held in the magnificent city of Shenzhen, China, 2-4 November, 2015 (http://www.ieee-iccc.org/). In addition to technical sessions, the program will also include a set of workshops. The goal of the workshops is to explore emerging research topics, and to provide a forum for authors to present early research results on these topics. Workshop papers are expected to focus on more specific research areas than those in the main conference. Proposals are welcome for workshops that will touch aspects of high interest with this flavor. Workshops will be half-day, with 2 sessions of 1.5 hours each. The dates for paper submission, notification and final paper submission should be stated in the proposal; however, final papers must be due no later than 15 September, 2015. We recommend the following:

Workshop paper submission due date: July 15
Workshop paper acceptance notification date: Aug 15
Workshop final paper due date: September 15

All workshop papers will appear in IEEE Xplore (and will be EI Indexed). All Web pages related to the accepted workshops will reside on the official IEEE/CIC ICCC 2015 Web site.

The workshop proposal, in plain text or PDF, should provide the following information:
1. Title, scope and topics of the workshop
2. Names, addresses, and affiliation of Workshop organizers
3. Tentative committee lists
4. Workshop format planned (papers, demos, panels, etc.)
5. Past history of the workshop if any (where held, number of papers, number of participants)
6. Rationale - why is the topic relevant to the current interest; why is the workshop expected to attract a significant number of submissions with good quality.

Please also include a draft call for paper.
Workshop organizers should send their workshop proposals to Workshop Co-Chairs by email to both Co-Chairs on or before 30th April, 2015. Please include in the email subject “IEEE/CIC ICCC 2015 Workshop Proposals”. Notification of acceptance for workshop proposals will be on 15th of May 2015.
