Call for Papers‎ > ‎

Workshop/tutorial proposals

As in previous years, we plan to hold one day of workshops before the start of the main conference. However, this year we would like to distinguish between tutorials and workshops. Tutorials are held by a domain expert and introduce a current topic of interest to symposium attendees while workshops provide an informal setting in which to develop vision and exchange ideas in a specialized field of interest.

Proposals are due on Friday, March 15.
