CAISE 2016 - 2nd Call for Papers - Workshop proposal submission deadline: 11th October

------------------------------------
CAISE 2016 Call for workshops proposals
------------------------------------

The 28th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems
Engineering (CAiSE 2016) will be organized on 13-17 June 2016, in Ljubljana
(Slovenia).

Details can be found at: http://caise2016.si/

CAiSE 2016, the 28th edition of the CAiSE series, invites proposals for
workshops to be held in conjunction with the conference, related to the
CAiSE topics, covering new emerging topics and targeting ground-breaking
papers in a special focus area.

------------------------------------
Two kinds of workshops are invited:

Presentation-oriented workshops: These will concentrate on presentations of
accepted papers and discussion about these papers. The proceedings of these
workshops are intended to be published as one volume in the Springer LNBIP
series.Some of the contributions might be accepted as short papers (6
pages) and they will appear in a designated section of the proceedings.
According to Springer standards, the acceptance rate should not be higher
than 45%-50%.

Discussion-oriented workshops: These will emphasize discussions facilitated
by paper presentations. Since the main criterion for paper acceptance in
such workshops is relevance and potential for raising discussion, they are
not expected to have their proceedings in the Springer LNBIP volume. The
workshop organizers are expected to manage their own proceedings (e.g.,
using the CEUR series). Workshop proposals should be submitted to the
CAiSE’16 Workshops Chairs. Prior contact with the workshop chairs is
encouraged.

------------------------------------
The organizer(s) of approved workshops will be responsible for advertising
their workshop, for eliciting high quality submissions, for the reviewing
process of their workshop’s papers, and for the collection of camera-ready
copies of accepted papers (verifying that they comply with the formatting
rules). Organizers (including co-organizers) are expected to attend their
entire workshop, and to provide a summary of the event to the CAiSE
organisers. For those workshops to join the LNBIP proceedings, they will be
asked to use Easychair for at least the final version of the papers to
support an efficient proceedings process.

------------------------------------
IMPORTANT DATES
- Workshop proposal submission deadline: 11th October 2015
- Notification of acceptance: 6th November 2015
- Camera ready of all papers and summary by workshop chairs: 30th March 2016
- Workshops: 13-14 June 2016
------------------------------------

Detailed instructions for workshop proposers:

The proposal (length up to 1000 words) should cover the following points:
1. Workshop title, duration (1 day or 2 days), preferred date (13th or 14th
of June), workshop type (presentation-oriented or discussion-oriented).
2. The organizers (PC chairs, other organizers who will be present at the
workshop or are otherwise involved, including the person responsible for
web presence and communication). Please include names, addresses,
affiliations, and indicate the main responsible person. The submission
should include a one-paragraph biographical sketch for each organizer,
describing relevant qualifications and experience.
3. Purpose: What are the main goals of the workshop? Please list the
workshop topics. How does the focus of the workshop differ from the main
conference? How does the focus of the workshop different from the main
conference and confirmed accompanying events (BPMDS, EMMSAD, ICSOB)?
4. Organization of the workshop: Specify the type of contributions,
distribution into sessions, type of sessions, etc. Mention if you plan to
have any keynote speaker (please note that the conference organization will
not cover fees, travel expenses, accommodation and registration cost).
Include any special requirement regarding infrastructure and room layout.
In particular, specify the proceedings type. For presentation-oriented
workshops LNBIP will be the default option. For discussion-oriented
workshops, specify how you will publish the contributions and how you plan
to make them available to attendees (especially if you plan to require some
support from the conference organization).
5. Tentative list of PC members.
6. An estimate of the number of papers to be accepted, and the number of
attendees. If applicable, short information on previous editions of the
workshop series (this should include submission, acceptance, and attendance
information).
7. Short information on your plans for publicizing your workshop and making
it highly visible.

------------------------------------
Submission is done via email to: krogstie@idi.ntnu.no
------------------------------------

Services provided by CAiSE
- Publication of contributions in LNBIP volume for presentation-oriented
workshops.
- One free workshop registration if more than 10 people are registered for
the workshop.
- Local organizational infrastructure and administrative support
(registration, badges, refreshments, beamers, screens, etc.).
- Advertisement of the workshop on CAISE’16 homepage and mailings.

------------------------------------
Please note that the workshop may be cancelled if the number of
registrations is less than  10. Also, in case of workshops with topics that
are close, two or more workshops may be suggested to merge.
