Workshops
Workshops at DSN provide a
forum for a group of participants (typically 20 to 50 in size) to
interact and exchange opinions on topics related to any of the many
facets of dependable systems and networks. We welcome participation by
professionals from a range of diverse backgrounds who can contribute to
advancing the technology and understanding of the workshop subject.
[Workshops are not alternative forums for full papers; these should be
submitted to one of the two DSN symposia.] Workshop attendance is open
to all registered conference delegates. Each workshop may be either a
half-day or one full day in length.
Proposals for
workshops are solicited. A workshop submission consists of a
descriptive proposal that is not more than three pages in length, and
which contains:
• the title of the workshop;
• an outline of the
theme, goals, and main challenges of the workshop;
• a target
estimate of the desired number of contributing participants;
•
a description of the workshop planning processes, including the
invitation and selection of participants, and any other pre-workshop
activities;
• a summary of the planned workshop activities
including length of time and space required (i.e., room capacity), and
the expected workshop outputs;
• a brief statement about each
organizer's background, including any relevant past experience with
workshops.
Acceptance will be based on
an evaluation of the workshop's potential for generating useful
results, the timeliness of and expected interest in the topic, and the
proposers' ability to lead a successful
workshop.
Accepted workshops will have a two-page
proceedings-format summary (generated by the workshop organizers)
published in the Main Proceedings of the conference. Written
contributions to the workshop itself (summaries, short papers, etc.)
will be included in the Supplement to the DSN
Proceedings.
Please submit all workshop proposals by
the deadline of October 13, 2008, preferably as a .pdf attachment.
Submission is via e-mail to [email protected].
Workshop
proposers
will be notified of the outcome of their submission by
November 20, 2008. Details and deadlines for contributions and
submissions to accepted workshops will be posted after November 21 on
the DSN web site and elsewhere.
