The 21st International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications - ICCSA 2021 - University of Cagliari, Sardinia Island, Italy July 5-8, 2021 https://iccsa.org
CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
We encourage and invite interested parties to submit a proposal for organizing a Workshop at ICCSA 2021, which will be organized hopefully in a blended way because of pandemic: part in presence, part online, building on the experience of ICCSA 2020 held in July 2020.
Workshop proposals will be collected and evaluated as they are received until December 23, 2020 and notification of acceptance / rejection will be sent before December 27, 2020.
The Workshop proposals should be submitted from the researcher's home page on the ICCSA 2021 Electronic Submission System: https://ess.iccsa.org.
The form to be filled will require the following information:
1) Title of the Workshop Please select a simple name, close to the aim of the workshop. Do not include here the acronym.
2) The Acronym of the Workshop including the year, 2021 (e.g.: VRA 2021)
3) The selected publisher (LNCS) of the proposed workshop. If you are interested publishing the papers of your Workshop on IEEE-CPS Xplore, please specify IEEE.
4) Description of the Workshop, including the detailed list (name, affiliation, country) of the Program Committee members
5) Description of the topics (themes) of the workshop
2) Name, the affiliation, mailing address and e-mail address of the Workshop organizer(s).
3) Previous experience of the organizer(s) in organizing Workshops (if any).
4) Name, the affiliation, and e-mail addresses of at least three colleagues of the organizer(s) who can assess the ability to organize a Workshop
7) A short description on how the workshop will be advertised.
The organization of successful workshops in previous editions of ICCSA (at least 5 papers accepted in the Proceedings, minimum no-show up, several discussions and questions during/after presentations), including the participation of the Workshop Organizers to the Conference, will be given priority ranking for acceptance.
The information provided by the workshop organizer(s) to the Conference Chairs shall remain strictly confidential.
The Workshop Organizers are responsible for all the organizational aspects including soliciting submissions and providing the details of an adequate number of reviewers for the Workshop papers. Workshop Organizers are also fully responsible for ensuring that only high quality papers are accepted for publication in the Proceedings and for verifying the correctness of the layout adopted by the authors (which depends from the editor selected for the workshop). They are also responsible for choosing the actual reviewers (at least three) for each paper and for monitoring the reviewing process on the reviewing system, in collaboration with the Conference Program Chairs.
Workshop Organizers (or their Deputies) are expected to attend ICCSA 2021, set the order of presentations and chair their related workshop(s).
Due to their active role, Workshop Organizers will receive some incentives, depending on the number and quality of accepted and registered papers.
