Call for Panels

ECDL 2010 is planning to host a small number of highly focused panel discussions. Panels should be lively, controversial, and provoke discussion on a specific topic of interest to the community. Panel sessions should not consist of paper presentations, but should have plenty of discussion engaging the audience.

Proposals should consist of a 2-page abstract including:

• The topic, if possible formulated as a provocative question
• The issues to be discussed, including a short listing of pro and con arguments
• Short biographies of the moderator and prospective panelists
• Any special requirements

A 2-page abstract of the panel will be included in the proceedings. The proceedings will be published as a volume of Springer’s Lecture Notes on Computer Science (LNCS) series.

Panel proposals in PDF or plain ASCII format must be sent via email by January 31, 2010 to the workshop chair, Julio Gonzalo at julio@lsi.uned.es.

Panel proposal submission: January 31, 2010
Notification of acceptance: March 15, 2010
Submission of final panel abstract: May 24, 2010
