*** About ACSOS Workshops & Tutorials ***


ACSOS 2020 is soliciting proposals for workshops and tutorials to be 
co-located with its main conference. ACSOS workshops will provide a 
meeting place for presenting novel ideas in a less formal and possibly 
more focused way than the conferences themselves. Their aim is to 
stimulate and facilitate active exchange, interaction, and comparison of 
approaches, methods, and ideas. To motivate the discussion and 
participation of all the workshop attendants, we encourage organizers to 
get away from the typical “mini-conference” format of a workshop and 
include more discussion sessions, panels, etc. The workshops/tutorials 
should be on original and timely topics of relevance to the ACSOS 
communities. We seek proposals from individuals and teams interested in 
organizing strong workshops and tutorials. Ideally, each 
workshop/tutorial should be full or half-day. Workshops and tutorials 
will take place on Monday and Friday surrounding the main conference. We 
will interact with workshop organizers in due time to define the 
schedule of the sessions and coffee breaks as well as room logistics. 
Please submit your workshop/tutorial proposals as soon as possible. We 
will try to decide as early as possible on workshop/tutorial acceptance 
in order to give the organizers more time to solicit papers.Workshop 
descriptions, workshop papers, and tutorial abstracts are part of the 
ACSOS Companion Volume that will be published alongside the ACSOS main 
proceedings. Workshop papers should have a maximum of six pages. 
Workshop descriptions should have a maximum of two pages. The workshop 
description should introduce the workshop topics and summarise the 
papers accepted for the workshop. Tutorial abstract should be a maximum 
of one pageand will be included in the ACSOS Companion Volume. A higher 
page limit and/or additional extra paid pages may be possible subject to 
the approval by the proceedings chair.



*** Workshop Proposals ***Proposals for workshops should be organized as 
a preliminary call for papers or call for participation, depending on 
the intended format of the workshop, with a maximum of two pages and

technical description of the workshop, specifying the workshop goals, 
the technical issues that it will address, and the relevance of the 
workshop to the main conference. The names, affiliations, phone numbers, 
and email addresses of the proposed workshop organizing committee. We 
strongly encourage the organizing committee to consist of at least two 
people coming from multiple institutions knowledgeable about the 
technical issues to be addressed - The primary email address for

(half or full-day) - A brief description of the workshop format.- The 
workshop deadlines, both internal and external, aligned with the ACSOS

standards in order to keep the workshop high in quality. Accepted 
workshop papers will be published in the proceedings and submitted for

conference proceedings and may not be more than 6 pagesin length. 
Workshop organizers must ensure that suitable quality measures have been 
taken. All papers must be reviewed by an International Technical Program 
Committee with a minimum of 3 reviews per paper.- List of potential
