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

The 17th IEEE eScience Conference will be held in Innsbruck, Austria
on September 20-23, 2021.

eScience 2021 welcomes proposals for workshops to be held with the
main conference on Monday, September 20 and Thursday, September 23,
2021.

The eScience conference has a long history of hosting broad and
well-attended workshops broadly related to eScience and co-located
with the main conference.  These workshops share the goal of bringing
together leading international and interdisciplinary research
communities, developers, and users of eScience applications and
enabling IT technologies.

Workshops play a crucial role in the conference by providing an
opportunity for researchers and practitioners to present their work in
a more focused way than the conference itself, and to have in-depth
discussions of particular topics of interest to the
community. Workshops may be focused on any eScience-related topic
including, but not limited to, interdisciplinary research, advanced
cyberinfrastructure, data science, and education. eScience 2021
accepts two types of workshop proposals: workshops with peer-reviewed
papers and proceedings, and workshops with invited talks and no
proceedings.

Workshops with peer-reviewed papers and proceedings:

Workshop organizers are responsible for establishing a program
committee, paper submission system, 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 showing
clear focus and objectives in areas of emerging or developing interest
will be prioritized. The proceedings of the workshops will be included
in the eScience 2021 proceedings to be published by the IEEE Computer
Society Press, USA and made available online through the IEEE Digital
Library if the following criteria will be followed: * The solicitation
for papers must be open.  * All the papers must be peer-reviewed by a
qualified Program Committee.  * The workshops Program Committee must
have an appropriate size for expected number of submissions.  * The
workshop proceedings must have at least 4 papers (for a half-day
workshop) or 6 papers (for a full-day workshop), at a length of at
least 6 pages and no longer than 10 pages (including figure, tables,
and citations) in the IEEE conference format.

For each paper selected for publication, at least one of the authors
must be registered to eScience 2021 to present the paper in person.

Workshop proposals should be submitted per email to:
escience2021-workshops at uibk.ac.at<mailto:escience2021-workshops at uibk.ac.at>

A proposal should be submitted as a single PDF file (up to 5
pages). The proposal should include this information:
* Workshop name and acronym
* Workshop description (including its focus and goals) (max. 500
  words)
* Workshop length (half-day, e.g. 3 hours plus breaks, or full-day,
  e.g., 6 hours plus breaks)
* Names and affiliations of the organizers and tentative composition
  of the committees (we invite the authors of the proposal to consider
  a diverse group of organizers and committee members in terms of
  e.g., race/ethnicity, gender, geographic areas)
* Expected number of submissions/accepted papers
* Prior history of this workshop, if any

Workshops with invited talks and no proceedings:

Workshop organizers are responsible for inviting the speakers,
establishing a program in due time, organizing the selected talks into
sessions, and assigning session chairs. Proposals gathering experts in
areas of emerging or developing interest will be prioritized.

Each speaker must be registered to eScience 2021 to present in a
session.
