FIS2008: 2nd Call for Workshops

*****Call for Workshop Proposals***** 

************************************** 
Future Internet Symposium 
FIS 2008 

28th-30th September | Vienna, Austria 
http://www.fis2008.org/ 

************************************** 
The workshops at FIS008 will complement the main conference by providing a
forum for active discussions and exchange of ideas focused on one or two
cross-domain issues related to the Future Internet. The purpose of the
workshops will be to provide an informal setting for attendees, potentially
affiliated to different Internet disciplines to discuss scientific and
technical issues, share experiences, and to lay the foundations for the
establishment of the cross-domain research community which will shape the
Future Internet research agenda. From a content perspective workshop
proposals should comply with the agenda of the main conference and
concentrate on topics which are likely to benefit from interactions and
information exchange within a focused group of experts from different areas
and communities. We expect to have a wide range of workshops (full-day, or
half-day) covering fundamental research questions for the realization of the
next generation of the Internet, bringing together researchers from
different disciplines.
