ICWE 2021 - Call for Workshop Proposals
21st International Conference on Web Engineering (ICWE 2021)
May 18-21, Biarritz, France
https://icwe2021.webengineering.org/
------------------------------------------------------------

ICWE’21 is inviting proposals for high-quality workshops to complement its scientific program. Workshop topics should fall within the broad area of Web Engineering, but we specifically welcome workshops tackling novel, cutting-edge topics as well as workshops covering focused Web Engineering sub-areas, and cross-disciplinary workshops. The workshop organizers are highly encouraged to include interactive and hands-on working sessions.

The organizers of approved workshops are responsible for advertising their workshops, collecting papers, managing the review process, making accepted papers available to workshop participants (e.g., workshop website), and collecting the camera-ready copies and copyright forms of accepted papers (verifying that they comply with formatting rules). Organizers are expected to be present to attend, run, and manage their workshops. Conference facilities such as meeting rooms, wireless Internet and meals will be provided by the local organizers.

ICWE’21 provides workshop organizers with the opportunity to publish workshop proceedings as part of its dedicated post-workshop proceedings volume to appear in Springer’s LNCS series. Typically, workshop papers are 12 pages long and peer-reviewed; other forms of contributions can be discussed with the workshop chairs. Organizers who prefer to publish their own proceedings are of course welcome as well.
