Call for Workshops

IEEE INFOCOM 2016
Call for Workshop Proposals

 
The IEEE INFOCOM 2016 conference will be held in San Francisco, CA, USA, April 10-15, 2016. In addition to the main conference's technical program, the conference will 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 - 5 sessions of 1.5 hours each. The dates for paper submission, notification and camera-ready version would preferably be coordinated across the selected workshops. Papers submitted to the individual workshops will likely be due in December 2015 (the notification of acceptance date of the INFOCOM main conference is November 20, 2015), 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.      The specifics of the workshop organization team
3.      Rationale

  • a.      Why the workshop is related to INFOCOM;

5.      Workshop tentative internal and external schedule

  • a.        Submission deadline;

6.      Workshop format planned (papers, demos, panels, etc.)
7.      If the workshop has past workshops, the history of the workshop (where held, number of papers submitted and accepted, number of participants)
