CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSAL (DRAFT)

NetSys 2019 invites proposals for workshops of the 2019 International Conference on Networked Systems. We are soliciting workshop proposals on topic relevant to Networked Systems. Workshops will be held on March 18th or March 22nd, 2019.

Workshops are a great opportunity for community building and a forum for attendees with common interests. Accepted workshop papers are included in the adjunct proceedings of the Netsys Conference.

PRE-PROPOSAL SUBMISSION INQUIRIES

Should you wish to discuss ideas for a workshop proposal, feel free to contact the Workshop chairs at hausheer@ovgu.de or wolf@ibr.cs.tu-bs.de

WORKSHOP PROPOSAL CONTENT

The proposal should be prepared as a document of no more than 4 pages in the official IEEE proceedings format – tighter alternate style (Word, Latex) , and must in addition include a Call for Papers. It must describe the topic, rationale and objectives for the workshop, the organizers’ backgrounds and bio, an estimate of expected attendance, in the case of followup workshops: statistics from any previously held workshops and a detailed plan (timeline) for conducting the workshop (including any plans for preworkshop preparation and/or postworkshop follow up).

WORKSHOP SELECTION PROCESS

Workshops will be reviewed by a jury of experts who will consider several factors, including:
The potential for the workshop topic to generate stimulating discussions and useful results
The expected interest of the community in the workshop topic
The quality, organization and plan described in the workshop proposal
Relevance to the main conference
In the case of multiple submissions on similar topics, organizers may be encouraged to merge them
