*****************************************************************************

DisCoTec 2022 is one of the major events sponsored by the International
Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) and the European Association
for Programming Languages and Systems (EAPLS). It gathers conferences and
workshops that cover a broad spectrum of distributed computing subjects —
from theoretical foundations and formal description techniques, testing and
verification methods, to language design and system implementation
approaches.

Pre-conference workshops and tutorials will take place on Monday, June 13,
2022, and post-conference workshops on Friday, June 17, 2022.

**** Second round submissions of workshop proposals must reach the workshop
chairs by January 24, 2022 ****


The DisCoTec 2022 organising committee solicits proposals for workshops to
provide a vivid and open forum for discussions among active researchers on
topics related to the distributed computing field. The aim is to facilitate
the exchange of ideas and experiences via presentations of preliminary
research results and ongoing works, as well as presentations of research
work to a focussed audience.

A workshop associated with DisCoTec 2022 can be one-day or half-day in
length. Workshop registration will be done together with the main
conferences, allowing workshop-only registrations as well.

A workshop proposal must include the following information:
  - name of the workshop
  - contact information of the Workshop Chair(s)
  - brief description of the aim and scope of the workshop (max. 500 words)
  - tentative Program and Organization Committees, if available
  - number of (expected) submissions and/or attendees
  - history of the workshop, if any, including the numbers of submissions,
    accepted papers, and attendees of the last edition
  - any other relevant information (e.g., invited speakers, panels)

Important dates (for all workshops):
  - January 24, 2022: Workshop proposal submission deadline (second round)
  - January 26, 2022: Notification of accepted workshop proposals
  - Mid April 2022: Workshop paper submission deadline
  - Mid May 2022: Notification of accepted workshop papers
  - June 13 and 17, 2022: Workshops

The submission and notification deadlines of the workshops are at the
discretion of the individual workshop chairs. However, the notification
must be no later than the early registration deadline for DisCoTec 2022 (to
be announced).

DisCoTec 2022 is planned as a physical, in-person event, with certain
support for remote presence, both for speakers and for other participants
who are unable or unwilling to come. Depending on the pandemic situation,
we may have to make a decision whether to cancel the physical component of
the event or not.
