ICALP 2010 Call for Workshop Proposals
======================================

ICALP 2010 37th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming

5-12 July 2010, Bordeaux, France
Supported by the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS)

http://icalp10.inria.fr/

The 37th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming, the main 
conference and annual meeting of the European Association for Theoretical Computer 
Science (EATCS), will take place from 5-12 July 2010 in Bordeaux, France. The main 
conference will be preceded and followed by a series of Workshops. The workshops 
will take place on Monday 5 July, Sunday 11 July and Monday 12 July, 2010 (i.e., 
one day before and two days after ICALP).

Workshop proposals are invited for workshops on topics related to all aspects of 
theoretical computer science. (A workshop may relate to any of the three tracks
of ICALP, but also workshop proposals related to other aspects of theoretical
computer science will be considered.) Typically, ICALP workshops feature a number 
of invited speakers and a number of contributed presentations. ICALP workshops do 
not necessarily produce formal proceedings. However, in the past there have been 
e.g. LNCS proceedings or special issues of journals based in part on some ICALP 
workshops. Workshop proposals should include:

    * Title of the workshop
    * Person responsible for the workshop (name + email address)
    * A short scientific summary and justification of the proposed topic. This should 
      include a discussion of the particular benefits of the topic to the ICALP community.
    * A discussion of the proposed format and agenda.
    * The proposed duration, which is typically one to two days, and your preferred dates. 
      This is important!
    * Procedures for selecting participants and papers.
    * Expected number of participants. This is important!
    * If the workshop has taken place before, please provide the following information:
      - How often has the workshop taken place so far?
      - Which conference(s) has the workshop been collocated with so far?
      - Please provide the web address of the last workshop, if available.
      - How many participants took part in the last workshop?
    * Potential invited speakers.
    * Plans for dissemination (for example, special issues of journals).

Proposals are due on 31 October 2009, and should be submitted electronically to the Workshops 
Chair:
