<h3>Call for Workshops</h3>
<h4>8th IEEE International Conference on eScience <br>
October 8-12, 2012 <br>
Chicago, IL, USA </h4>
<p> The 8th IEEE eScience conference (e-Science 2012), sponsored by
the IEEE Computer Society's Technical Committee for Scalable
Computing (TCSC), will be held in Chicago Illinois from 8-12th
October 2012. The eScience 2011 conference is designed to bring
together leading international and interdisciplinary research
communities, developers, and users of eScience applications and
enabling IT technologies.</p>
<p>Multiple e-Science 2012 Workshops will be held on Monday and
Tuesday, 8th and 9th October, co-located with the main conference.</p>
<p>Workshops are an important part of the conference in providing
opportunity for researchers to present their work in a more
focused way than the conference itself and to have discussion of
particular topics of interest to the community. We cordially
invite you to submit workshop proposals on any eScience related
topic to the Workshop Chair.</p>
<p>To help those interested know their purpose and scope, workshop
proposals should include:</p>
<ul class="square">
<li>A description of the workshop, its focus, goals, and outcome</li>
<li>A draft call for papers</li>
<li>Names and affiliations of the organizers and tentative
composition of the committees</li>
<li>Expected numbers of submissions and accepted papers</li>
<li>Prior history of this workshop, if any. Please include: number
of submissions, number of accepted papers, and attendee count.</li>
</ul>
<p>Workshop organizers are responsible for establishing a program
committee, collecting and evaluating submissions, notifying
authors of acceptance or rejection in due time, ensuring a
transparent and fair selection process, organizing selected papers
into sessions, and assigning session chairs. Proposals will be
selected that show clear focus and objectives in areas of emerging
or developing interest guaranteed to generate significant interest
in the community.</p>
<p>Once accepted, the workshop should establish its own paper
submission system. For each paper selected for publication, an
author must be registered for eScience 2012. Each paper must be
presented in person by at least one of the authors. It is expected
that the proceedings of the eScience 2012 workshops will be
published by the IEEE Computer Society Press, USA and will be made
available online through the IEEE Digital Library.</p>
