*** Last Call for Workshop Proposals ***
36th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering
(CAiSE'24)
June 3-7, 2024, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina, Limassol, Cyprus
https://cyprusconferences.org/caise2024/
(*** Submission Deadline: October 13, 2023 AoE ***)
CAiSE is a well-established, highly visible conference series on Advanced Information
Systems
(IS) Engineering. It covers all relevant topics in the area, including methodologies and
approaches for IS engineering, innovative platforms, architectures and technologies, and
engineering of specific kinds of IS. CAiSE conferences also have the tradition of
hosting
workshops in related fields. Workshops are intended to focus on particular topics and
provide
ample room for discussions of new ideas and developments.
CAiSE 2024, the 36th edition of the CAiSE series, invites proposals for workshops to be
held in
conjunction with the main conference, related to the CAiSE topics, covering new emerging
topics and targeting innovative papers in special focus areas.
Prospective workshop organisers should specify whether they plan an event with a
presentation-oriented track, a discussion-oriented track, or both.
Presentation-oriented track
This track focuses on accepted papers with presentations followed by Q&A sessions,
akin to
conferences. The proceedings of these workshops are intended to be published in a joint
volume in the Springer LNBIP series. Submissions must conform to the Springer
LNCS/LNBIP
format and should not exceed 12 pages. According to the Springer standards, the overall
acceptance rate cannot exceed 45%-50%.
Discussion-oriented track
This track emphasizes discussions facilitated by paper presentations revolving around
novel
ideas and early-stage research. Since the main criterion for paper acceptance in such
workshops is relevance and potential for raising discussion, they are not expected to
have
their proceedings in the Springer LNBIP volume.
The edition of a joint proceedings volume next to the LNBIP one for the
discussion-oriented
track is underway. Proceedings shall be submitted to CEUR-WS.org for online publication.
Details on this aspect will be provided separately.
Proposal submission
Workshop proposals should be submitted via EasyChair at the following address:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=caise2024
Please select the Author role and the CAiSE 2024 Workshops track.
Prior contact with the workshop chairs (caise2024-workshops(a)easychair.org) is
encouraged.
The organizer(s) of approved workshops will be responsible for advertising their
workshop,
eliciting high-quality submissions, organizing the reviewing process of their workshop’s
papers according to the principles and guidelines of CAiSE, and collecting camera-ready
copies of accepted papers (verifying that they comply with the formatting rules).
Organizers
(including co-organizers) are expected to attend their entire workshop.
Detailed instructions for workshop proposers
The proposal (up to 1000 words) should cover the following points:
• Workshop title, duration (1 day or 2 days), preferred date (3-4 June 2024)
• Workshop type (presentation-oriented or discussion-oriented, or both).
• Information on the organizers (PC chairs, other organizers who will be present at the
workshop or are otherwise involved, including the person responsible for web presence and
communication). Please include names, addresses, and affiliations, indicating the main
responsible person. The submission should include a one-paragraph biographical sketch for
each organizer, describing relevant qualifications and experience. Please specify at least
one PC chair. PC chairs will not be allowed to submit papers to the workshop, but other
organizers (who will have no oversight over the review process) are encouraged to do so.
• Purpose: What are the main goals of the workshop? Please list the workshop topics. How
does the focus of the workshop differ from the main conference? How does the focus of the
workshop differ from other potential CAiSE events? (Proponents are advised to look at the
workshops and working conferences held at CAiSE 2022 and CAiSE 2023 and differentiate your
scope from theirs.)
• Organization of the workshop: Specify the type of contributions, distribution into
sessions, type of sessions, etc. Mention if you plan to have any keynote speaker (please
note that the conference organization will not cover fees, travel expenses, accommodation
and registration costs of keynote speakers). Include any special requirements regarding
infrastructure and room layout.
• Tentative list of PC members.
• An estimate of the number of papers to be accepted, and the number of attendees. If
applicable, short information on previous editions of the workshop series (this should
include submission, acceptance, and attendance information). Short information on your
plans for advertising your workshop and making it highly visible.
Services provided by CAiSE
• EasyChair installation for the management of the workshop submissions (each organizer
will be made chair of their own workshop).
• Publication of papers in an LNBIP volume for presentation-oriented tracks, and in a
CEUR-WS.org online volume for discussion-oriented tracks.
• One free workshop-only registration if more than 10 people are registered for the
workshop. Organizers willing to attend the whole event (main conference) will have to
register for the conference at their own expense.
• Local organizational infrastructure and administrative support (registration, badges,
refreshments, beamers, screens, etc.). In particular, all venue issues (rooms, meals and
catering, social dinner, etc.) as well as the management of the registrations and the
financing/administrative issues will be handled by the CAiSE Organization Board and are
not under the responsibility of the workshop organizers.
• Advertisement of the workshop on the CAiSE 2024 homepage and mailings.
Please note that the workshop may be canceled if the number of registrations is less than
10.
Also, in the case of workshops with topics that are similar, two or more workshops may
be
suggested to merge together.
