  • Scope

    The ECAL2013 Organising Committee invites proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with ECAL2013. The workshops are intended to be forums to present and discuss new approaches, visions, or critical reflections within a subfield. They provide an excellent opportunity to meet people with similar interests, to be exposed to cutting-edge research and to exchange ideas in an informal setting. The organizers of an accepted workshop are responsible for its coordination, for its publicity (e.g., for sending out call for papers/abstracts), for collecting and reviewing the papers/abstracts, and for maintaining a webpage providing a list of accepted talks. The workshops can be half day or a full day long. The format can be decided by the organizers who are encouraged to plan interactive sessions. We suggest not to ask for full papers, but rather for concept papers or abstracts of not more than a few pages length.
