CAISE 2016 Call for workshops proposals
------------------------------------

The 28th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems 
Engineering (CAiSE 2016) will be organized on 13-17 June 2016, in 
Ljubljana (Slovenia).

Details can be found at: http://caise2016.si/

CAiSE 2016, the 28th edition of the CAiSE series, invites proposals 
for workshops to be held in conjunction with the conference, related to 
the CAiSE topics, covering new emerging topics and targeting 
ground-breaking papers in a special focus area.

------------------------------------
Two kinds of workshops are invited:

Presentation-oriented workshops: These will concentrate on presentations 
of accepted papers and discussion about these papers. The proceedings of 
these workshops are intended to be published as one volume in the 
Springer LNBIP series.Some of the contributions might be accepted as 
short papers (6 pages) and they will appear in a designated section of 
the proceedings. According to Springer standards, the acceptance rate 
should not be higher than 45%-50%.

Discussion-oriented workshops: These will emphasize 
discussions facilitated by paper presentations. Since the main criterion 
for paper acceptance in such workshops is relevance and potential for 
raising discussion, they are not expected to have their proceedings in 
the Springer LNBIP volume. The workshop organizers are expected to 
manage their own proceedings (e.g., using the CEUR series). Workshop 
proposals should be submitted to the CAiSE’16 Workshops Chairs. Prior 
contact with the workshop chairs is encouraged.

------------------------------------
The organizer(s) of approved workshops will be responsible 
for advertising their workshop, for eliciting high quality submissions, 
for the reviewing process of their workshop’s papers, and for the 
collection of camera-ready copies of accepted papers (verifying that 
they comply with the formatting rules). Organizers (including 
co-organizers) are expected to attend their entire workshop, and to 
provide a summary of the event to the CAiSE organisers. For those 
workshops to join the LNBIP proceedings, they will be asked to use 
Easychair for at least the final version of the papers to support an 
efficient proceedings process.

------------------------------------
IMPORTANT DATES
- Workshop proposal submission deadline: 11th October 2015
- 
Notification of acceptance: 6th November 2015
- Camera ready of all papers and summary by workshop chairs: 30th March 2016
- Workshops: 13-14 June 2016
------------------------------------

Detailed instructions for workshop proposers:

The proposal (length up to 1000 words) should cover the following points:
1. Workshop title, duration (1 day or 2 days), preferred date (13th or 
14th of June), workshop type (presentation-oriented or discussion-oriented).
2. The organizers (PC chairs, other organizers who will be present 
at the workshop or are otherwise involved, including the person 
responsible for web presence and communication). Please include names, 
addresses, affiliations, and indicate the main responsible person. The 
submission should include a one-paragraph biographical sketch for each 
organizer, describing relevant qualifications and experience.
3. Purpose: What are the main goals of the workshop? Please list 
the workshop topics. How does the focus of the workshop differ from the 
main conference? How does the focus of the workshop different from the 
main conference and confirmed accompanying events (BPMDS, EMMSAD, ICSOB)?
4. Organization of the workshop: Specify the type of 
contributions, distribution into sessions, type of sessions, etc. 
Mention if you plan to have any keynote speaker (please note that the 
conference organization will not cover fees, travel expenses,

regarding infrastructure and room layout. In particular, specify the 
proceedings type. For presentation-oriented workshops LNBIP will be the 
default option. For discussion-oriented workshops, specify how you will 
publish the contributions and how you plan to make them available to 
attendees (especially if you plan to require some support from the 
conference organization).
5. Tentative list of PC members.
6. An estimate of the number of papers to be accepted, and the number of 
attendees. If applicable, short information on previous editions of the
