ICCBR-09 workshops will provide an informal setting in which participants will have the opportunity to meet and discuss topics with a selected CBR focus in an environment that encourages the exchange of ideas. The format of each workshop will be determined by each workshop organising committee. To stimulate interaction and a broad exchange of ideas ample time should be allotted in each workshop for general discussion. Workshop Proposal Content -------------------------------------- Proposals should be 2-4 pages and contain the following information: * Proposed title of the workshop. * A brief technical description of the workshop, specifying the workshop goals and the technical issues that will be its focus. * A brief discussion of why the workshop is of interest. * A preliminary workshop agenda and schedule for the workshop. This should include a brief description of how the organisers intend to conduct the workshop (e.g., paper presentations, invited talks, panel discussions or other types of communication). * A list of potential participants or groups. If similar workshops were held in the past include information on received submissions and attendance. * The intended means of advertising the workshop. * Contact information, including the names, postal addresses, phone numbers and email addresses of the proposed workshop organising committee, identifying the main point of contact. This committee should consist of three or four people knowledgeable in the technical issues to be addressed. Ideally, these people should not be from the same institution. * An indication as to whether the workshop should be considered for a half day or full day meeting. * A draft call for papers. Proposal Submission ----------------------------- Workshop proposals, in pdf format, should be submitted through the EasyChair Conference Site (https://www.easychair.org/login.cgi?conf=iccbr09) submitting to the Workshop Proposals Track by Monday, Jan 12th 2009. Organisers will be notified of the committee's decision by Friday Feb 6th, 2009. Enquiries concerning workshop submissions should be sent to the Workshop Coordinator at sarahjane.delany 'at' dit.ie. Workshop Organisation ------------------------------- Each workshop organising committee will be responsible for: * Producing a Call for Participation for their workshop. This call will be posted on the ICCBR-09 website. It should clarify the process by which the organising committee will review and select the papers and presentations. In addition the submission procedure, format and dates should be included and be in accordance with the ICCBR-09 required submission procedure and dates. * Reviewing and selecting presentations and papers. * Providing the workshop selected papers in camera ready format to the Workshop Coordinator no later than Friday June 5th 2009. The ICCBR-09 organising committee will provide a meeting place for the workshop and arrange for the production of the workshop proceedings. Workshop papers should be submitted in Springer LNCS format, which is the format required for the final camera ready copy, with a maximum of 10 pages. Authors' instructions along with LaTeX and Word macro files are available at Springer's Information for LNCS Authors page (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). ICCBR-09 reserves the right to cancel any workshop if deadlines are missed, if too few submissions are received or if too few attendees register for the workshop to support the costs of holding it. In special cases the ICCBR-09 organising committee may suggest the consolidation of workshops to prevent the need for cancellation. All workshop participants must register for the conference and workshops must be open to all registered participants of ICCBR-09.
