Should you wish to discuss ideas for a workshop proposal, feel free to contact the Workshop chairs at workshops at mobiquitous.org.
Workshop Proposal Content
The proposal should be prepared as a document of no more than 4 pages in the official ACM proceedings format – tighter alternate style (Word, Latex), and must in addition include a Call for Papers. It must describe the topic, rationale and objectives for the workshop, the organizers’ backgrounds and bio, an estimate of expected attendance, in the case of follow-up workshops: statistics from any previously held workshops and a detailed plan (timeline) for conducting the workshop (including any plans for pre-workshop preparation and/or post-workshop follow up).
Workshop Selection Process
Workshops will be reviewed by a jury of experts who will consider several factors, including:
• The potential for the topic of the workshop to generate stimulating discussions and useful results.
• The expected interest of the community in the workshop topic.
• The quality, organization and plan described in the workshop proposal.
