[George Angelos Papadopoulos]

*** First Call for Workshop Proposals ***

19th IEEE eScience Conference (eScience 2023)

October 9-13, 2023, St. Raphael Resort, Limassol, Cyprus

https://www.escience-conference.org/2023/    


The 19th IEEE eScience Conference will be held in Limassol, Cyprus on October 9-13, 2023.
eScience 2023 welcomes proposals for workshops to be co-located with the main conference
on Monday, October 9 and Tuesday, October 10, 2023.

The eScience conference has a long history of hosting well-attended workshops broadly
related to eScience and co-located with the main conference. These workshops share the goal
of bringing together 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 and  translational
research, continuum computing infrastructures, data science, sustainability, and
education.

eScience 2023 invites authors of workshop proposals to consider a diverse group of
organizers, paper reviewers, and keynote speakers in terms of race/ethnicity, gender, and  geographic areas.

eScience 2023 accepts two types of workshop proposals:
(1) workshops with peer-reviewed papers and proceedings, and
(2) workshops or mini-symposia with invited talks and no proceedings.


Workshops with peer-reviewed papers and proceedings

The proceedings of workshops with peer-reviewed papers will be included in the eScience
2023 proceedings to be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press, USA and made available
online through the IEEE Digital Library, if the following criteria are 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 the expected number
of submissions.
* The workshop proceedings must have at least 4 papers 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 2023 to present the paper in person.

Workshop organizers are responsible for establishing a Program Committee and a 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.
