).
The proposals should be written in English and must arrive by January 25, 2008. Each workshop proposal should contain the following: - A description of the workshop topic. This description should briefly discuss why the suggested topic is of particular interest at this time.
- A brief description of the workshop format, regarding the mix of events such as paper presentation, invited talks, panels, demonstrations, and general discussion.
- An indication as to whether the workshop should be considered for a half-day or one-day meeting.
- The names and full contact information (email and postal addresses, fax and telephone numbers) of the organising committee (three or four people knowledgeable in the field) and short descriptions of their relevant expertise. (Please specify the main contact.) Strong proposals include organisers who bring differing perspectives to the workshop topic and who are actively connected to the communities of potential participants.
- A list of potential attendees.
Workshop organisers will be responsible for:
- Producing a call for participation. The call is due February 20, 2008. This call will be posted on the KI 2008 website. Organisers are responsible for additional publicity such as distributing the call to relevant newsgroups and electronic mailing lists, and especially to potential audiences from outside the KI conference community. Organisers are encouraged to maintain their own web site with updated information about the workshop.
- Coordinating the production of the workshop notes. The KI 2008 Workshop Chair coordinates the collection, production, and distribution of the working notes for the workshops. Workshop papers and abstracts must be received by the KI 2008 Workshop Chair no later than August 17, 2008, and volumes are limited to a total of 200 pages.
The KI 2008 conference organisers will:
- provide logistic support, and meeting places for the workshops, and
- determine the dates and times of the workshops.
The KI 2008 conference organisers reserves the right to drop any workshop if the organisers miss the above deadlines. All workshop participants must register for the KI 2008 conference.
