[agents] CCNC 2018: Call for Workshops

[Francesco Bronzino]

The 15th Annual IEEE Consumer Communications & Networking Conference
(CCNC2018) will be held on January 12-15, 2018 in Las Vegas, NV, USA.
CCNC2018 will be held in conjunction with the International Consumer
Electronics Show (CES).

CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

The CCNC 2018 Organization Committee invites members of the research,
development, and practitioner communities to submit workshop proposals.
Workshops provide a forum for people to discuss areas of special interest
pertinent to consumer communications and networking with like-minded
researchers and practitioners. Workshops aim at examining an area in a less
formal, more open environment for the free exchange of views, and possibly
in a more focused way than in the main track of the conference itself.
Workshop proposals are welcomed in all areas of consumer communications and
networking.

CCNC workshops will be organized on the first and last day of the
conference (January 12 and 15).

Proposal Format:
The workshop organizers should submit a workshop proposal by May 21, 2017.
Each Workshop proposal is limited to 2-3 pages and should include:

Title of workshop and proposed URL of site to host CFP, program etc.
Theme of the workshop and topics of interest, and how these relate to the
overall conference.
Names, affiliations, and a short bio (up to 200 words) of the organizers.
Brief description (up to 1 page) of research, industry, and practitioners’
topics of interest that the workshop will address, and why the workshop is
of interest to the conference participants.
Expected number of participants and potential program committee members.
Description of the publicity plan on how to attract participants and
submissions.
Planned format: participant selection, time line, type of contributions,
discussions and integration of non-presenting participants:
Full-day workshops should aim for 8-9 accepted papers or invited technical
talks. Half-day workshops should aim for 4-5 accepted papers or invited
technical talks. Indicate the maximum length of the papers to be submitted.
If the workshop will include invited technical talks (i.e., presentation of
a non-peer-reviewed paper ), the proposal should include a subset of
invited speakers who are willing to attend and participate if the workshop
is accepted.
If applicable, a description of past editions of the workshop, including
location (i.e., which conference), dates, number of submitted and accepted
papers, and number of attendees.
A draft workshop call for papers with the names, affiliations, addresses,
phone numbers and email addresses of the workshop organizers.
The review criteria for workshop proposals is merit based and priority will
be given to workshops with topics relevant to the conference theme.
Accepted workshop papers will be published in the IEEE CCNC 2018 Conference
Proceedings and subitted to IEEE Xplore® as well as other Abstracting and
Indexing (A&I) databases.

All proposals and questions should be submitted to the Workshops Co-chairs.
