EDOC 2014 Call for Workshop Proposals

Following the tradition of previous conferences, EDOC 2014 plans to host
a number of workshops alongside the main conference. The workshops will
provide a collaborative forum for a group of typically 15 to 30
participants to exchange recent and/or preliminary results, to conduct
intensive discussions on a particular topic, or to coordinate efforts
between representatives of a technical community. They are intended as a
forum for lively discussion of innovative ideas, recent progress, or
practical approaches and applications. Each workshop should provide a
balanced distribution of its time for both presentation of papers and
discussions. We encourage prospective workshop organizers to submit
proposals for highly-interactive workshops focusing on areas related to
enterprise computing in general. Both research-oriented and applied
topics are welcome.
