Call for Workshops

ECDL 2010 is pleased to offer the possibility to host focused workshops after the main conference. The purpose of the ECDL workshops will be to treat issues which do not have their place in the main conferences in the field, and which will benefit from being discussed in small and informal groups. The selection process will give priority to workshops with novelty, focus, and an explicitly formulated target outcome.

Workshop proposals should include:

• A clearly stated issue for the workshop – a concrete question to be addressed and discussed
• A description of the targeted outcome of the workshop
• A motivation why a workshop would be of benefit for the issue in question – why do other venues not address this issue, how will the targeted outcome be useful for the field and for the participation?
• In case of earlier workshops in this series, a short description of previous events, and an explanation how this workshop will further the issue under consideration
• The expected audience
• Short biography of the organiser(s)
• Planned deadlines for call for papers, type of reviewing, and any organisation aspects
• Any special requirements

Workshop proposals in PDF or plain ASCII format must be sent via email by January 31, 2010 to the workshop chair, Jussi Karlgren at ecdl2010ws@sics.se.
