Call For Workshop Proposals
International Conference on Active Media Technology 2014 (AMT?14) http://wic2014.mimuw.edu.pl/amt/homepage
=======================================================================
The Program Committees of the 2014 Web Intelligence Congress invite proposals for workshops in all areas related to Active Media Technology, its foundations and applications. WIC 2014 is a Special Event of Web25 celebrating 25 years of the Web. Active Media Technology 2014 (AMT'14) will be collocated with three other top-quality international conferences.
- IEEE/WIC/ACM Web Intelligence 2014 (WI'14) - IEEE/WIC/ACM Intelligent Agent Technology 2014 (IAT'14) - Brain Informatics & Heath 2014 (BIH'14)
The conferences are co-located in order to bring together researchers and practitioners from diverse fields with the purpose of exploring the fundamental roles, interactions and practical impacts of Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Information Technology. The workshops will be held within the Conference at the historical Central Campus of the University of Warsaw, Warsaw, Poland, between 11th and 14th of August 2014.
The main objectives of the Active Media Technology 2014 workshops is to stimulate and facilitate active exchange, interaction and comparison of approaches, methods and ideas related to diverse areas of Active Media Technology. Each workshop subject will focus on new and emerging research challenges related to the themes of the conference. The workshops should provide an informal and vibrant forum for researchers and industry practitioners to share their research results and practical development experiences in the field. The aim of the workshops should be to provide the participants with an opportunity to discuss specific technical topics in an atmosphere that fosters active exchange of ideas. Workshops can typically focus on topics aligned to or specified in general call for contributions but may not be restricted to those. The topics cover all aspects of theoretical and applied aspects of Active Media Technology including, but not limited to
- foundations of active media, - ubiquitous intelligence and ubiquitous services, - big data management for active media, - data maining for active media, - social network and social media, - interactive systems and intelligent interfaces, - active media engineering, - active media applications.
Workshops may be full-day or half-day. A full-day workshop should select 10-14 regular papers, while a half-day workshop should select 5-7 regular papers, from a large number of submissions. Papers accepted for AMT workshops will be published in the same volumes of LNCS/LNAI proceedings as regular papers accepted for AMT 2014. Workshop papers should be restricted to 10 pages.
============== WORKSHOP PROPOSAL SUBMISSIONS ========================
Workshop organizers should submit their proposals via the link http://wic2014.mimuw.edu.pl/submit-proposal-wic-2014-event provided at the home-page of the Web Intelligence Congress. All Workshop proposals should include the following elements:
- Title of the workshop; - Names of workshop organizers, affiliation, mailing address and e-mail address; - Short CV of organizers; - A description of the topics of the workshop (not exceeding 200 words); - Type of the workshop (full-day or half-day); - A description of how the workshop will contribute to the field of Active Media Technology; - A short description on how the workshop will be advertised so as to ensure a sufficiently wide range of authors and high quality papers; - Information about previous offerings of the proposed workshop; - A list of potential Program Committee members and attendees/submissions and/or a justification of the expected attendees and submissions.
================ WORKSHOP ORGANIZATION ==============================
Organizers, whose proposals are accepted, will be responsible for advertising the workshop, forming the program committees, reviewing and selecting the papers, all along guaranteeing high quality worthy of the prestige and range of the Conference. The Conference will provide an online paper submission and review system to support the workshops.
After the acceptance of a workshop proposal the organizer(s) should: - Create a "Call for papers/participation" for the workshop - Create a Web page for the workshop, the link of which will be published on the Conference Web site - Create a Board of Reviewers (Program Committee) - Review and select papers - Schedule the workshop program
The workshop organizers should ensure the presence of authors of accepted papers at the workshops. Optionally, the workshop may be started or concluded by a panel focusing on interesting aspects, controversial issues, or unsolved problems to stimulate lively, thoughtful, and thought-provoking debate; we expect the workshop organizers to actively engage the audience and help them gain a deeper understanding of the issues. The goal of a panel is to debate and thus panels should always reflect more than one point of view.
The papers selected by the workshop organizers will also be reviewed by the Workshop Chairs for their final acceptance. All submitted papers will be reviewed on the basis of technical quality, relevance, significance, and clarity. The workshop organizers will also have the discretion of editing selected papers (after their expansion and revision) into books or special journal issues. The acceptance rate for workshops should follow the guidelines established by the Web Intelligence Congress Chairs.
======================== REGISTRATION =================================
Workshop paper registration fees are the same as regular conference fees. All registered participants are entitled to attend all keynotes, sessions, workshops, panels, tutorials and social events. Workshop organizers will receive one additional free registration against six registered papers. Free registration can be used for one (or more) of organizers or other person(s) approved by the organizers.
