************** Call for Proposals for Workshops *******************
************** Petri nets 2013 *******************
*******************************************************************
The 34th International Conference on Application and Theory of Petri Nets and
Concurrency (Petri nets 2013) will take place in Milan, Italy (as usual, in the
last full week of June).
For this major event, we are now inviting people to submit proposals for
workshops.
The purpose of the workshops is to provide an informal setting for workshop
participants to discuss technical issues, exchange research ideas, and to
discuss and or demonstrate applications.
These workshops may be driven by fundamental academic interests or by needs
from specific application domains.
We encourage a diversity of workshops relating to Petri nets or other models of
concurrency.
All workshop proposals must be written in English.
Proposals for workshops should be no more than 3 pages in length and submitted
to the W&T chairs before 24th June 2012 (see below).
A workshop proposal should include a draft call-for-papers containing at least
the following information:
- Title and brief technical description of the workshop, specifying the goals
and the technical issues that will be its focus.
- A brief description of why and to whom the workshop is of interest.
- The names and contact information (web page, email address) of the Program
Committee (PC) chairs, i.e., the workshop organizers.
In addition, a tentative list of workshop PC members should be given. We
suggest one or two PC chairs and at least 10 PC members coming from different
countries.
Moreover, the following additional information is requested:
- A list of related workshops or similar events to be held in the same year or
within the previous two years.
- If the workshop has taken place before:
-- How often has the workshop taken place so far?
-- Which conference(s) has the workshop been collocated with so far?
-- Number of participants in the last installment.
- A discussion of the proposed format and agenda.
- The proposed duration (half, one or two days).
- Procedures for selecting participants and papers.
- Potential invited speakers.
- Expected number of participants.
- A description of track record of the workshop organizers with respect to
organizing this workshop (e.g., papers published in the proposed topic area,
previous workshop organization, other relevant information).
Each workshop program committee (in particular, the chairs) will be responsible
for the following:
- Producing a web page and a "Call for Papers/Participation" for their workshop.
- Providing a brief description of the workshop for the Petri Nets conference
web page and program and providing a workshop web page the Petri Nets
conference can refer to for details.
- Selecting the papers for the workshop proceedings and providing the camera
ready copies ready for publication.
- All advertising of the workshop beyond web page advertising.
- Appointing session chairs, etc.
The local organization of the Petri net conference will take care of the
production of informal/electronic workshop proceedings (CEUR), assuming that
the proceedings are camera ready. After the conference we will invite a number
of the best workshop papers to contribute to a Joint Post-proceedings, to be
published in the new subseries of Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS)
entitled "Transactions on Petri Nets and Other Models of Concurrency" (ToPNoC),
i.e., a selection of papers from all workshops will be combined into a single
volume. The revised papers will go through an additional round of reviewing.
Note that the W&T chairs will be responsible for liaison with the publisher,
organizing the additional round of reviewing and the final selection.
The workshop chairs will play an important role in suggesting papers and the
final selection.
