[ecoop-info] EDOC 2008 Call for Workshop Proposals

[Dijkman, R.M]

Dear colleagues,

EDOC 2008 is inviting proposals for workshops to be held on the 15th and
16th of September 2008. Workshops provide organizers and participants
with an opportunity to exchange opinions, advance ideas, and discuss
preliminary results on current topics related to enterprise computing,
in a small and interactive atmosphere.

Workshops can choose to concentrate on in-depth research topics, be
devoted to discuss best practices, applications and industrial issues,
or a mixture of both. Workshops may be either one or two days long. Of
course, workshop topics and goals should fall within the scope of EDOC.

Workshop proposals should be sent to the Workshop Chair
(<av at lcc.uma.es>) before March 3, 2008, and should include:
  -- the workshop title,
  -- the names and brief (200 word) biography for each organizer,
  -- the proposed workshop duration (one or two days),
  -- a summary of the workshop topics, goals and contents
     (approximately 1-2 pages, i.e., 500-1000 words),
  -- a brief description of the audience and community to which the
workshop is targeted, and
  -- a tentative Call for Papers.

We assume that submission of a workshop proposal indicates that the
workshop organizers are available to run the workshop, if accepted.

All workshop proposals will be carefully reviewed, and acceptance will
be based on:
  -- the relevance of the workshop topics and contents with regard to
the topics of the conference;
  -- the timeliness and expected interest in the topic (i.e., the
workshop might be of interest to a sufficiently large community within
EDOC);
  -- the workshop's potential to advance the state of research and/or
practice in the topics of the workshop;
  -- the organizers' ability to lead a successful workshop.

  * Workshop proposals due: 3 March 2008
