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).

Please take into account the following workshops when submitting your
proposal:

. SOFIEE - Symposium on Future Intelligent Educational Environments and
Learning
. WoRIE - Workshop on the Reliability of Intelligent Environments
