Workshops are an opportunity to meet in the context of the conference 
and discuss a common theme and/or common topics of interest. In 
particular, emerging and future areas in AmI are particularly suitable 
to the workshop format.
The workshop should have the potential to move the field forward and 
suggest promising directions. Workshops could be either half-day (3 
hours per day) or full day (6 hours per day). Prospective workshop 
organizers are invited to submit a proposal for consideration. If the 
workshop is accepted, it will be publicized on the conference web site 
and potential participants invited to submit a paper. Criteria, 
reviewing and acceptance is handled by the workshop organizers. 
Workshops are only open to people accepted by the workshop organizers 
and registered for the conference; however a minimum number of attendees 
for the workshop will be defined by the conference. Workshop organizers 
will be expected to set up an external web page delivering all the 
necessary information for interested people.

1.	Title of Workshop
