WWW 2013 - Call for Workshops

WWW 2013 Call for Workshops

WWW 2013 will feature a number of co-located workshops that are intended to provide
a forum for researchers and practitioners in Web technologies to discuss and
exchange positions on current and emergent Web topics. Workshop attendants will
exchange ideas and experiences, establish common ground in research areas or
practical problems, and hopefully identify new opportunities for collaboration and
new directions for future activity. Preference will be given to timely topics that
will favor highly interactive discussions. WWW 2013 will offer logistic support for
the workshops, where registration, catering, room allocation and audio/visual will
be arranged by the conference organizers. The supported workshops will take place on
the 13th and 14th of May 2013, before the main conference, at the conference venue.

A workshop proposal must include :
       • A concise title.
       • The names and affiliations of the organizers; a typical workshop should count no
more than three co-chairs affiliated with different organizations.
       • Proposed duration of the workshop (half or full day.)
       • Preference for a date; but, the proposal must not be conditioned on the workshop
date, since it is likely that some workshops will not get their preferred date
       • A statement of the workshop's objective/goals
       • A statement detailing: Why is the workshop topic important? Why is the workshop
timely? How is it relevant to WWW?
       • A two-paragraph description of the workshop topic and themes.
       • If the workshop was conducted before, where and when was it conducted? (Please
give details on number of attendees, number of submissions, and acceptance ratio.
       • A description of the workshop format – how many papers do you hope to present,
how many invited speakers, type of activities (e.g., short paper presentation,
invited talks, demos, posters, etc.), and an approximate timeline (breaks should be
synchronized with scheduled breaks if possible.)
       • A description of how workshop submissions will be evaluated, and a tentative PC
list (with indication of whether PC members have already been contacted and/or have
expressed interest.)
       • An indication on whether the workshop registration will be open to all interested
registered parties or limited.
       • A short bio of the workshop organizers, including a description of their
qualifications relative to the topic area, and past experience in
organizing/facilitating workshops or research meetings.
