[Om-announce] Call for FLoc14/ICLP Workshop proposals

[Haifeng Guo]

(Apologies for cross postings)
Dear all, 

Please find attached a call for workshop proposals in FLoC14, including ICLP's workshops which I chair. 

FLoC14/ICLP14 will be held in Vienna on July, 2014. Workshops collocated with ICLP14 are one of the best venues for the presentation and discussion of preliminary work, novel ideas, and new open problems to a wide and interested audience. Collocated workshops also provide an opportunity for presenting specialized topics and opportunities for intensive discussions and project collaboration. The topics of the workshops collocated with ICLP 2014 may cover any area related to logic programming (e.g., theory, systems, environments, software-engineering aspects, extensions, alternative paradigms, applications), including cross-disciplinary areas.  

>>> You are encouraged to propose any ICLP-related workshop or tutorials if there is evidence that this will be in favor of a stronger ICLP event. Even if there is a perception that some workshop may not have a number of enough attendants, the ICLP14 organizers would still welcome all workshop proposals.

Please consider putting together a proposal, and circulating it as among potentially interested colleagues. The deadline is September 30, 2013.

Best regards,

Hai-Feng Guo

Joint meeting of the 23rd EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL) and the 29th ACM/IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science (LICS) Workshop Chair: Georg Moser http://cl-informatik.uibk.ac.at/users/georg/

25th International Conference on Rewriting Techniques and Applications (RTA) joined with the 12th International Conference on Typed Lambda Calculi and Applications (TLCA) Workshop Chair: Aleksy Schubert http://www.mimuw.edu.pl/~alx/

17th International Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing (SAT) Workshop Chair: Ines Lynce http://sat.inesc-id.pt/~ines/

SUBMISSION OF WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit proposals for workshops on topics in the field of computer science, related to logic in the broad sense.  Each workshop proposal must indicate at least one conference to be affiliated with, and among those exactly one primary hosting conference.

It is suggested that prospective workshop organizers contact the relevant conference Workshop Chair(s) before submitting a proposal.

Proposals should be submitted electronically to EasyChair at the following address:  http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=floc14cfw

Proposals should consist of two parts. First, a short scientific justification of the proposed topic, its significance, and the particular benefits of the workshop to the community, as well as a list of previous or related workshops (if relevant). A second, organizational part should include:

* contact information of the workshop organizers
* proposed primary hosting conference (and possibly other affiliated conference(s))
* estimate of the audience size
* proposed format and agenda (for example, paper presentations, tutorials, demo sessions, etc.)
* potential invited speakers
* procedures for selecting papers and participants
* plans for dissemination, if any (for example, special issues of journals)
* duration (which may vary from one day to two days) and preferred period

The FLoC Organizing Committee will determine the final list of accepted workshops based on the recommendations from the Workshop Chairs of the hosting conferences and subject to the availability of space and facilities.

Further information can be found at the FLoC 2014 Workshop Guide http://vsl2014.at/floc-ws/
