IMPORTANT DATES

Conference: September 1-5, 2012


SCOPE

The PPSN2012 Organising Committee invites proposals for workshops to be 
held in conjunction with PPSN 2012. The workshops are intended to be 
forums to present and discuss new approaches, visions, or critical 
reflections within a subfield. They provide an excellent opportunity to 
meet people with similar interests, to be exposed to cutting-edge 
research and to exchange ideas in an informal setting.

The organizers of an accepted workshop are responsible for its 
coordination, for its publicity (e.g., for sending out call for 
papers/abstracts), for collecting and reviewing the papers/abstracts,
and for maintaining a webpage providing a list of accepted talks. The 
workshops can be half day or a full day long. The format can be decided 
by the organizers who are encouraged to plan interactive sessions. We 
suggest not to ask for full papers, but rather for concept papers or 
abstracts of not more than a few pages length. All workshops will be 
held during one day (Saturday, September 1st, 2012).


SUBMISSION DETAILS

Prospective workshop organizers are invited to submit a plain text 
workshop proposal by email to: WCppsn2012 at dmi.unict.it

- title of the workshop
