IMPORTANT DATES

Submission due: November 15, 2011
Notification of acceptance: December 15, 2011
Conference: September 1-5, 2012


SCOPE

The PPSN2012 Organising Committee invites proposals for workshops to be
held in conjunction with PPSN 2012. The workshops are intended to be
forums to present and discuss new approaches, visions, or critical
reflections within a subfield. They provide an excellent opportunity to
meet people with similar interests, to be exposed to cutting-edge
research and to exchange ideas in an informal setting.

The organizers of an accepted workshop are responsible for its
coordination, for its publicity (e.g., for sending out call for
papers/abstracts), for collecting and reviewing the papers/abstracts,
and for maintaining a webpage providing a list of accepted talks. The
workshops can be half day or a full day long. The format can be decided
by the organizers who are encouraged to plan interactive sessions. We
suggest not to ask for full papers, but rather for concept papers or
abstracts of not more than a few pages length. All workshops will be
held during one day (Saturday, September 1st, 2012).


SUBMISSION DETAILS

Prospective workshop organizers are invited to submit a plain text
workshop proposal by email to: WCppsn2012@dmi.unict.it

The proposal should include:
- title of the workshop
- brief description of the workshop topics
- potential target participants and audience
- rough estimate of the number of participants
- rough estimate of the number of talks
- contact details and a short CV of the organizer(s)
