The workshop proposals should be submitted to the Workshops Co-Chairs. Workshops for presenting papers from industrial companies and papers on any specific topics which can support the conference are very welcome. It is expected that the proceedings of the workshop programs will be published by IEEE Press (Pending). In general, a workshop takes one day, although multiple-days and half-day workshops are welcome. The workshop proposal should include following information: 1. Title of the workshop: International Workshop on ... 2. Workshop Organizers(s): name, affiliation, address, phone and fax numbers, e-mail. 3. Brief description of the workshop (several hundred words) 4. Expected number of papers to be submitted 5. Call for paper of the workshop (draft version - 1 page CFP MS Word version) 6. Tentative list of program committee members (Name, affiliation, country, email address) 7. Your workshop web address (Tentative) Each workshop will start to distribute a call for paper after receiving the notification. Papers submitted to each workshop will be reviewed by the program committee and external reviewers of the workshop. Financial Supports for Workshop Organizer: If workshops are constructed successfully, the organizer (One organizer per workshop) will get: - At least 10 papers registration: 1 Free registration - At least 20 papers registration: 2 Free registration Contact ----------------------------------------- If you have any questions about the CFPs and papers submission, please email to Prof. James.
