                  Call for Workshops @Euro-Par 2016
  22nd International European Conference on Parallel and Distributed
       		            Computing
                  Grenoble, France, 22-26 August 2016
                      [http://europar2016.inria.fr]


Scope
=====

Euro-Par is the prime European conference covering all aspects of
 parallel and distributed processing, ranging from theory to practice,
 from small to the largest parallel and distributed systems and
 infrastructures, from fundamental computational problems to
 full-fledged applications, from architecture, compiler, language and
 interface design and implementation, to tools, support
 infrastructures, and application performance aspects.  To provide a
 meeting point for researchers to discuss and exchange new ideas and
 hot topics related to parallel and distributed computing, Euro-Par
 2016 will co-locate workshops with the main conference and invites
 proposals for the workshop program.

 The workshops will be held on 22-23 August 2016, the two days before
 the main conference.

Workshop Proposal Guidelines
============================

 The proposals should include the following information:

 - Workshop title and acronym, preference for length (half or full-day)
 - Information on the organizers, including a short biography of each
   organizer (5-10 lines)
 - A tentative program committee
 - Motivation of the workshop:
   - scientific objective,
   - interest to the Euro-Par community
   - positioning with respect to the currently existing Euro-Par workshops
 - Description of the workshop:
   - content
   - format (contributed papers, invited talks, panels, posters, etc.)
   - organizational aspects
 - Workshop background (previous editions)
 - Link to international projects/initiatives

 The decision about the acceptance/rejection of a workshop proposal
 will be made on the basis of the overall quality of the proposal and
 the degree to which it matches the scope of the conference. In the
 case that several workshop proposals have very similar objectives and
 scopes, a merge of overlapping workshops may be recommended. The
 topics covered by a workshop /should not overlap/ with the main
 topics of the conference. Decisions will be made on a rolling
 basis. Proposals can already be sent starting from November 2nd,
 2015, and the organizers may be notified before the notification
 deadline in case of a strong proposal.


Responsibility of Workshop Organizers
=====================================

 - Preparing the call for papers for the workshop and publicizing it
 - Maintaining the workshop Web site
 - Selecting the workshop program committee
 - Selecting papers through a rigorous peer-review process using the
   provided EasyChair installation
 - Delivering the final workshop program to the Euro-Par 2016
   conference co-chairs in time
 - Delivering the preliminary workshop proceedings in time before the
   conference
 - Providing the Euro-Par Steering Committee with a Management Report,
   after the conference, with keys indicators such as: number of
   submitted and accepted papers, program committee and review process
   management
 - Delivering the final workshop proceedings with a revised version of
   the papers in time after the conference in the required Springer
   LNCS format (12 pages max.) and writing an introductory preface to
   the workshop. Camera-ready papers will be published only if the
   management report has been delivered
 - Registering for the conference


Workshop Proceedings and Paper Review
=====================================

The workshop proceedings will be published in a separate LNCS workshop
 volume after the conference. The principal coordinator of each
 workshop will appear as an editor of the workshop volume. Registered
 workshop participants will receive an electronic copy of the volume
 by email. All authors of accepted papers will be requested to sign a
 Springer copyright form.

 The Euro-Par organizers will provide an EasyChair setup for all
 Euro-Par 2016 workshops, and its use is mandatory to facilitate paper
 submissions, reviewing, and collecting the camera-ready versions. The
 workshop papers will not be published in the proceedings
 otherwise. Each workshop will be an independent track within the
 Workshops' EasyChair installation, but it will be fully manageable by
 the respective organizers.
