<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">1. Producing a web page and a “Call for
Papers/Participation” for their workshop. The URL should be sent to the AICCSA
Workshops chairs. It should mention that at least one author of each accepted
submission should attend the workshop and that all workshop participants must
pay the appropriate registration fee. The CfP should make it clear that the
registration of at least one author is required for the paper to be included in
the conference proceedings.<span></span></p>

enough submissions) the AICCSA 2020 Organizing Committee may propose to merge
that workshop with another. So we encourage workshop organizers to attract a
large community. In extreme situations we may also cancel workshops if there
are insufficient number of submissions, while we may consider the paper for the
main tracks.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">8. Workshop organizers must ensure that suitable quality
measures have been taken to ensure that the accepted papers are of high
quality. All papers must be reviewed by an International Technical Program
Committee with a minimum of 3 reviews per paper. The workshop organizers should
also try to observe an acceptance rate that is no higher than 50%.<span></span></p>
