ICSOC 2011 will be held in Paphos, Cyprus from December 5 to December 8, 2011.  Proposals for workshops are invited for consideration of sponsorship and affiliation with ICSOC 2011.



The purpose of these workshops is to provide a platform for presenting novel ideas in a less formal and possibly more focused way on the topics related to the theme or any major topics of the main conference including (but not limited to) the following:

We particularly encourage workshops which aim to take into account multidisciplinary between different academic disciplines and collaboration between academia, industry and communities of users. We also seek for workshops which are focused to particular domains, such as healthcare, government, military, etc. and which report real-world experiences in production settings.



A workshop proposal should be no more than 5 pages and should include the workshop title, technical description of the topic and issues, the relevance of the workshop to the conference theme, the motivation of why the workshop is of interest at this time, the strategy for recruiting papers, brief bios of the organizers, potential program committee members, duration and history (if any) of the workshop.
