Call for Workshop Proposal
Workshop proposal themes should be closely related to the SAINT
conference themes. An each workshop proposal should clearly indicate
its strength and
usefulness and how it complements the SAINT conference themes. It is
expected that
a proposal should provide a better insight into the proposed topics
compared to what is covered in the SAINT conference presentations.
Workshop Organizers Responsibility
Workshop organizers should organize their Workshop under the
Chairmanship of SAINT Workshop Co-Chairs. Responsibly of Workshop
organizers includes;
- to elaborate a valuable link between
Symposium and Workshops. To do this;
- it is requested for Workshop
organizers to promote paper submissions to Symposium,
- at least three persons from an
each Workshop shall be members of
Symposium Technical Program Committee,
this should be informed no later than November 15 to
Workshop
Co-Chairs and Program Co-Chairs,
- Symposium session schedule will be organized to cope with such a well
organized Workshop, e.g.,
Symposium and Workshop sessions of the same topic will be
held consecutively in the same room.
- to keep Workshop paper quality
as high as possible, i.e., an
acceptance ratio of less than 60% should be targeted. To do this;
- an explicit Technical Program
Committee for an each Workshop should be organized, and
- an explicit review process and system should be used.
- to make an each Workshop
internationally, e.g., speakers from more than tree countries
are
targeted.
