*CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS*

The AIIA 2020 Conference will host a series of workshops dedicated to
specific and hot topics that will complement the main conference program.
AI*IA Working Groups, scientific and industrial research groups, and
individual researchers interested in a subarea of Artificial Intelligence
or in a related topic of growing importance are invited to submit proposals
of workshops associated with AIIA 2020. We particularly welcome proposals
aimed at bringing together researchers from a wide range of disciplines, to
exchange ideas and to allow cross-fertilization.

Workshop proposals should be submitted in English as a single PDF file no
longer than 4 (four) pages containing the following sections:

- Workshop title and acronym
- Workshop organizers (affiliation, contact details, homepage, prior
experiences with workshop organization)
- Motivation and scientific relevance to the conference audience
- Keywords (describing the main themes of the workshop) (from 3 to 5)
- Abstract (up to 200 words)
- Description of the workshop (topics and goals of the workshop) (up to 800
words)
- Organizational details such as: thematic panels, demo sessions, invited
talks
- Initial list of (potential) members of the program committee
- Previous editions of the workshop series (if applicable) (URLs,
conference it was co-located with, number of registrants, number of
submissions, number of accepted papers, and any other relevant information)
- Length of the workshop (in hours)

Proposals should be submitted via Easychair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aixia2020

The expected number of submissions is at least 5 for half-day workshops and
at least 8 for full-day ones. Workshops that do not reach the suggested
target might not be activated or may be merged with other events.

Workshop schedule: each workshop will be assigned a number of slots (from 1
to 3 slots) during the conference days. A slot can vary from 1 to 2.5
hours. The distribution of slots will take into account the accepted papers
and workshop organization.

*Management of the submission, review, and publishing process*

The workshops organizers will manage on their own the submission, review,
and publishing process. The key dates and publication policy must be shared
with the conference organization.

Workshop proceedings should preferably be published in CEUR Workshop
Proceedings AIIA Series http://ceur-ws.org/aixia.html selecting Workshop as
the submission topic.

The workshop Call for Papers, all other calls, and the website should
clearly state that the workshop is held within the AIIA 2020 Conference,
including the URL of the conference website (

through the AIIA 2020 registration service.
