Call for Workshops
ECDL 2010 is pleased to offer the possibility to host focused workshops after the main conference, on Sept 9 (pm) and Sept 10, 2010. The purpose of the ECDL workshops will be to treat issues which do not have their place in the main conferences in the field, and which will benefit from being discussed in small and informal groups. The selection process will give priority to workshops with novelty, focus, and an explicitly formulated target outcome. Workshop proposals should include:
· A clearly stated issue for the workshop a concrete question to be addressed and discussed
· A description of the targeted outcome of the workshop
· A motivation why a workshop would be of benefit for the issue in question why do other venues not address this issue, how will the targeted outcome be useful for the field and for the participation?
· In case of earlier workshops in this series, a short description of previous events, and an explanation how this workshop will further the issue under consideration
· The expected audience
· Short biography of the organiser(s)
· Planned deadlines for call for papers, type of reviewing, and any organisation aspects
· Any special requirements
Workshop proposals in PDF or plain ASCII format should be sent via email by January 31, 2010 to the workshop chair, Jussi Karlgren at ecdl2010ws@sics.se.
Call for Panels
ECDL 2010 is planning to host a small number of highly focused panel discussions during the main conference. Panels should be lively, controversial, and provoke discussion on a specific topic of interest to the community. Panel sessions should not consist of paper presentations, but should have plenty of discussion engaging the audience. A 2- page abstract of the panel will be included in the proceedings. Proposals should consist of a 2-page abstract including:
· The topic, if possible formulated as a provocative question
· The issues to be discussed, including a short listing of pro and con arguments
· Short biographies of the moderator and prospective panelists
· Any special requirements
Panel proposals in PDF or plain ASCII format should be sent via email by January 31, 2010 to the workshop chair, Julio Gonzalo at julio@lsi.uned.es.
Call for Tutorials
The first day of the conference will consist of a parallel session of tutorials, each concentrating on a single topic, presented either at an introductory level or in depth, lasting about 3 hours (including a break). A 2-page abstract of the tutorial will be included in the proceedings. Proposals should consist of a 2-page abstract including:
· An outline of the tutorial content
· An indication of how the tutorial will be structured
· A description of the expected audience
· Short biography of the presenter(s)
