CyberSciTech 2018 Call for Workshop/Special Session Proposals http://cyber-science.org/2018/workshops-special-sessions.html

CyberSciTech 2018 invites Workshops and Special Sessions (SS) to enrich and broaden the research focus of the main conference ( http://cyber-science.org/2018/). The purpose is to provide a comprehensive forum on topics that will not be fully explored during the main event as well as to encourage in-depth discussion of technical and application issues related to Cyber Science and Technology. This is a unique opportunity for researchers and industry practitioners to shape the future research directions and share their original research results and practical development experiences on specific topics related to cyber science and technology.

The proposals should contain the following information: • The title of the Workshop/SS, including both full name and abbreviation. • The scope and objectives (up to 1 page). • Short bios of the key organizers. • Brief plans for dissemination (e.g., how to advertise the Workshop/SS or possible submissions to special issues of journals), procedures for selecting papers (including the expected number of accepted papers), and the expected number of participants. • A tentative website/URL of the proposed Workshop/SS (optional). • If the proposed Workshop/SS has been previously organized, please also briefly describe its history (e.g., number of submissions and accepted papers, attendance, etc.)

Please email your proposals in PDF format as early as possible and not later than February 10, 2018 to the Workshop Chairs at cyberscitechcongress@gmail.com. Please use “CyberSciTech 2018 Workshop/SS Proposal” as the email subject. Once we receive a proposal, a decision will be made in a week.
