BIR call for workshop proposals is extended

BIR call for workshop proposals is extended. New deadline is May 11, 2012

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

• T entative 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 May 11^th, 2012 to organizational committee of BIR 2012 conference, e-mail naseeva@hse.ru.

Notification of acceptance for workshop proposals will be on June 1^st, 2012.
