TridentCom 2009 Call for Workshops

The deadline for proposals for workshops has been extended to October 15, 2008

5th International Conference on Testbeds and Research Infrastructures for the Development of Networks & Communities (Tridentcom), April 6-8, 2009, Washington D.C., USA

TRIDENTCOM 2009 will feature several one-day or half-day workshops on topics closely related to or complementing the conference theme. The workshops will focus on latest advances in more focused and active research topics, and aim to provide the unique opportunities of close interaction with researchers with common interests, fostering future collaborations, and leveraging the impact of projects in selected areas.

TRIDENTCOM 2009 invites submissions of workshop proposals. Workshop proposals on emerging topics that are likely to generate significant interest and impact in the research community, will be highly preferred. Workshop papers will be published in the TRIDENTCOM 2009 proceedings and will be available through Springer LNICST.
The TRIDENTCOM 2009 organizing committee will provide basic support for the workshop in form of registration, publicity, a meeting room, publication, and help in arranging meal service for the workshop. The workshop organizer will control the submission and review process of the workshop separately from the main conference. The deadlines for submission for workshop papers may be later than that of the main conference.

A workshop proposal submission should include the following items

• Motivation and rationale for the workshop
• Names, affiliations, and contact information of main organizers, as well as tentative compositions of the organizing and technical program committees
• Expected number of submissions
• Target audience/participants and expected attendance
• Prior history of this workshop (if applicable)
• A draft Call for Papers, including the important dates (paper submission deadline,  notification date, cam-ready paper deadline, and suggested workshop date).

Please contact the TPC Co-Chair for additional information
