The BIR 2012 conference will be held in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, September 24-26, 2012. In addition to the main conference’s program and the doctoral consortium, the program will also include a set of workshops. The goal of the workshops is to explore emerging research topics, and to provide a forum for authors to present early research results on these topics. We would like to have a limited number of workshops, with a high quality program dominated by contributed papers. Contributions to the workshops would be for presenting novel ideas in a less formal setting, possibly more focused on a particular topic than the regular conference sessions do. We seek proposals from individuals and teams interested in organizing strong workshops. Each workshop will be a full day of September 24th. The dates for paper submission, notification and camera-ready version would preferably be coordinated across the selected workshop.
The workshop proposal, in plain text or PDF, should provide the following information:
-
Title, scope and topics of the workshop
-
Names, addresses, and affiliation of Workshop organizers
-
Tentative committee lists (organizers, steering committee if any, etc.)
-
Workshop format planned (papers, demos, panels, etc.)
-
Past history of the workshop (where held, number of papers, number of participants)
-
Rationale - why is the topic current and important; why would the workshop attract a significant number of submissions of good quality.
Please include a draft call for papers, if available.
Workshop organizers should send their workshop proposals on or before April 30th, 2012 to organizational committee of BIR 2012 conference, e-mail naseeva@hse.ru.
Notification of acceptance for workshop proposals will be on June 1st, 2012.
