Proposal Preparation
INFOCOM 2014 Call for Workshop Proposals
The IEEE INFOCOM 2014 conference will be held in
Toronto, Ontario, Canada, April 27 to May 2, 2014. In addition to
the main conference's technical program, the conference will also
include a set of workshops. The goal of the workshops is to explore
emerging research topics, and to provide a forum for authors to
present early research results on these topics. We would like to
have a limited number of workshops, with a high quality program
dominated by contributed papers. Contributions to the workshops
would be for presenting novel ideas in a less formal setting,
possibly more focused on a particular topic than the regular
conference sessions do. We seek proposals from individuals and teams
interested in organizing strong workshops. Each workshop will be a
full day, with 4 sessions of 1 1/2 hours each. The dates for paper
submission, notification and camera-ready version would preferably
be coordinated across the selected workshop. Papers submitted to the
individual workshops will likely be due in December 2013, with the
camera-ready version due in February. All workshop papers will
be submitted for inclusion to IEEE Xplore as well as various
Abstracting and Indexing databases.
The workshop proposal, in plain text or PDF, should provide the following information:
1. Title, scope and topics of the workshop
2. Names, addresses, and affiliation of Workshop organizers
3. Tentative committee lists (organizers, steering committee if any, etc.)
4. Workshop format planned (papers, demos, panels, etc.)
5. Past history of the workshop (where held, number of papers, number of participants)
6. Rationale - why is the topic current and
important; why would the workshop attract a significant number of
submissions of good quality.
