[Paulo Novais]

Call for Workshop Proposals

12th International Conference on Intelligent Environments (IE’16)
12-16 of September 2016, London - UK
http://www.intenv.org/


Intelligent Environments (IEs) refer to physical spaces in which IT and 
other pervasive computing technology are woven and used to achieve 
specific goals for the user, the environment or both. IEs have the 
ultimate objective of enriching user experience, better manage, and 
increase user awareness of that environment. The 12th International 
Conference on Intelligent Environments (IE’16) will be held in London, 
U.K., one of the most influential cities in the modern world, with a 
rich range of cultural offerings to visitors. The beginning of the 
conference will be preceded by a series of workshops on topics related 
to the main conference.  The workshop program will be co-located and run 
in parallel with the tutorials programme.

The workshops at IE´16 will be a very useful tool in order to complement 
the regular program with new or emerging topics of particular interest 
in the field of Intelligent Environments and related areas. Workshops 
that emphasize multi-disciplinary and transversal aspects, as well as 
cutting-edge topics, are especially encouraged and welcome.

Workshop Acceptance Rules: The decision on which proposed workshops get 
accepted will be carried-out through a two-stage process.  Initially 
some of the workshops proposed will be short-listed, based on the 
quality of the proposal and the relevance of the topics covered.  These 
workshops will later be confirmed at the Final Selection Stage (see 
section “Important Dates”) if they have successfully attracted a 
sufficient number of submissions and registrations. These workshops can 
last for a half day, a whole day or (in exceptional cases) for a one and 
a half days.

Financial Support: some degree of financial support will be given to the 
workshop organizers. That will be related to the success of the workshop.

Each workshop proposal should contain the following information: 
workshop title, a description of the specific scientific/technical scope 
of the workshop, a list of topics of interest, the reasons why the 
workshop should be held within IE´16, details of all the members of the 
Organizing Committee (OC), relevant experience of the organizers, 
identification of the member of the OC who is the contact person, the 
list of members of Workshop Program Committee, a preliminary version of 
the Call for Papers, the proposed structure of the workshop and planned 
forms of publicity.

Proceedings: Proceedings: all papers accepted in the Workshops program 
will be published as a volume of the Ambient Intelligence and Smart 
Environments Series by IOS Press, and made electronically available 
through ACM Digital Library.  These Proceedings will be submitted for 
indexation by the Conference Proceedings Citation Index from Thomson 
Reuters (CPSI-S).
