Call for new CS-DC e-Laboratories

The Complex Systems Digital Campus will organize a Satellite Meeting at the ECCS'13 - European Conference on Complex Systems that will be held in Barcelona, from the 16th to the 20th September 2013. This satellite meeting will bring together members of the CS-DC, mainly  (but not exclusively) from Europe, Latin America and Africa, to review progress and assess challenges related to the coordination of research and educational resources among more than seventy universities and institutions worldwide. The sessions would combine physical and remote presentations to include members attending ECCS and those unable to do so (mainly from Africa and Latin America).

The meeting calls for proposals of new CS-DC e-laboratories. Proposals should include a description of the main e-laboratory challenge (an existing one in the roadmaps or a new one), the list of scientific teams involved (at least two countries or five teams), the expected list of its Scientific Council members, a mention to some of its specific projects, and what will be shared like data, software and computer resources.

The CS-DC Board and the Satellite Workshop Committee will examine all proposals. Objections will be transmitted, including the invitation to resubmit at the next call for a not sufficiently mature proposal.

The accepted e-laboratories have to prepare an oral presentation about their proposal, even if their representatives cannot attend ECCS’13.  Indeed, the oral contributions and debate will use, if possible, a videoconference system for distant communication. At least, the distant communication might take the form of a video that will be projected in the Satellite Workshop.

Proposals should be submitted in the CS-DC wiki ( http://unitwin.csregistry.org ) or, in alternative, sent by e-mail to Carlos Gershenson ( cgg at unam.mx ) by the 5th August 2013, and should respect the template available at:
