ABOUT IPDPS WORKSHOPS

Held on the first and last day of the conference, IPDPS workshops provide an extended forum that allows the IPDPS community 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 paper 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. In 2020, the papers published in the proceedings will be in three categories: regular papers, short papers, and extended abstracts.

IPDPS 2020 CALL FOR NEW WORKSHOPS

The proposal of new workshop should contain the following information:

      Description: Provide a 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. A URL to the tentative main page of the workshop must be included. A workshop proposal without website containing the main information will be rejected.

     Organizers: Provide a short vita of the organizers, listing the current affiliation, position, and previous experience in organizing similar events, for example workshops/conferences/panels at IPDPS or other venues. Provide contact information (name and email) of at most 3 person that IPDPS should use as points of contact.

     History: If re-running the workshop (e.g., earlier editions were held at a venue 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 submissions from (government labs, universities, industry); (ii) What is the expected profile of the participants (speakers + audience)? (iii) How will the workshop be advertised? Having a clear target audience and plan to engage that group has proven to be critical in attracting high quality submissions and organizing a successful workshop.

     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 following link:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ipdpsw20

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.
