Call for e-Science 2011 Workshop Proposals

Deadline for Proposals: 1 May 2011

***************************************************
2010 IEEE 7th International Conference on e-Science
www.escience2011.org
Stockholm, Sweden
Conference: 6-8 December 2011
Workshops: 5 December 2011
***************************************************

The 7th IEEE e-Science conference, sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society's Technical Committee for Scalable Computing (TCSC), will be held in Stockholm, Sweden, from 6-8 December 2011. The e-Science 2011 conference is designed to bring together leading international and interdisciplinary research communities, developers, and users of e-Science applications and enabling IT technologies.

Multiple e-Science 2011 Workshops will be held on Monday, 5th December, co-located with the main conference. (If needed, additional workshop slots will be provided on Tuesday, 6th December.)

We cordially invite you to submit workshop proposals on any e-Science related topic to the Workshop Chair.

The purpose of these workshops is to offer researchers an opportunity to present their work in a more focused way than the conference itself and to obtain feedback from an interested community. As such, it is anticipated that workshop proposals will include:

* A description of the workshop focus / goal / outcome
* A draft call for papers
* Names and affiliations of organizers and tentative composition of the committees
* Expected numbers of submissions and accepted papers
* Prior history of this workshop, if any. Please include: number of submissions, number of accepted papers, and attendee count.

Workshop organizers are responsible for establishing a program committee, 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 will be selected that show clear focus and objectives in areas of emerging or developing interest guaranteed to generate significant interest in the community.

Once accepted, the workshop should establish its own paper submission system. For each paper selected for publication, an author must be registered for e-Science 2011. Each paper must be presented in person by at least one of the authors. It is expected that the proceedings of the e-Science 2011 workshops will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press, USA and will be made available online through the IEEE Digital Library.

Important Dates:
Expression of interest due: 1 May 2011
Notification of workshop acceptance: 10 May 2011
