  CALL FOR WORKSHOPS
-------------------------------------

Held on the first and last day of the conference, IPDPS workshops
provide an extended forum that allows the IPDPS community an opportunity
to fully explore special topics and to present work that is more
preliminary and cutting-edge or that has more practical content than the
more mature research presented in the main symposium. Each workshop has
its own requirements and schedule for submissions. Workshop papers’
submission dates typically fall after the notification date for the main
symposium papers. Proceedings of the workshops are distributed at the
conference and are submitted for inclusion in the IEEE Xplore Digital
Library after the conference.

The proposals should contain the following information:

* Description: Provide brief description of the workshop, its scope and
topics; the list of organizers with the confirmed chair(s); the program
committee members (indicate whether the members have been confirmed);
and the important dates.

* Organizers: Provide a short vita of the organizers by listing the
current affiliation, position, and previous experience in organizing
other events including workshops/conferences/panels at IPDPS or other
venues.

* History: If re-running (earlier editions were held somewhere other
than IPDPS), provide general information by listing the name of the
workshop, the hosting conference, year, number of papers submitted,
number of papers accepted, number of attendees; if there were
posters/panels, their numbers and topics (for panels), and URL’s of the
existing web pages.

Targeted papers and audience: Provide information on targeted papers and
audience: (i) Where are the papers from (government labs,
universities, industry); (ii) What is the expected profile of the
participants (speakers + audience)? (iii) How will the workshop be
advertised?

Format of the workshop: Provide a short overview of the format by
indicating if the workshop (i) will have peer reviewed papers in the
proceedings? (ii) will be half day or full day long? (iii) will have a
keynote talk? If yes, provide a tentative list of speakers; (iv) will
have a panel? If yes, provide the topic and the potential panelists? (v)
will have external (e.g., NSF) support for student participants.

What/where to submit:
The proposals can be submitted using the link
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ipdpsw18.

Submitted proposals may not exceed three (3) single-spaced double-column
pages using 10-point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages (IEEE conference
style), including figures, tables, and references.


***IPDPS Workshops from the preceding year(s) should apply for renewal.
For more information, please contact the workshops chair at
workshops at ipdps.org.***

All submitted proposals and renewal requests will be reviewed by the
workshops committee. Both new workshop proposals and renewal requests
are due 1 September 2017. Notification of final decisions for new
proposals and renewal requests are expected to be mailed on 18 September
2017.
