Call for Workshop Proposals for SERVICES 2009, co-located with ICWS 2009

ICWS (IEEE International Conference on Web Services) has been a prime international forum for both researchers and industry practitioners to exchange the latest fundamental advances in the state of the art and practice of Web services, identify emerging research topics, and define the future of Web services.

ICWS 2009 encourages you to submit workshop proposals. All workshops will be part of 2009 World Congress on Services (SERVICES 2009), which will be co-located with ICWS 2009. Workshop duration can be one day or one and half day. All the accepted papers by the workshops will be included in the Proceedings of 2009 World Congress on Services (SERVICES 2009) which will be published by IEEE Computer Society. You can consider to organize a workshop that is related to ICWS 2009 topics.

The purpose of these workshops is to provide a platform for presenting novel ideas in a less formal and possibly more focused way than the conferences themselves. As such, they also offer a good opportunity for young researchers to present their work and to obtain feedback from an interested community. The format of each workshop is to be determined by the organizers, but it is expected that they contain ample time for general discussion. The preference is for oneday workshops, but other schedules will also be considered.

Proposals must include:
1. The name of the workshop.
2. A statement of goals for the workshop.
3. The names and addresses of the organizers.
4. The names of potential participants, such as program committee members.
5. A description of the plans for call for participation (e.g., call for papers).
6. The expected number of attendees and the planned length of the workshop.
7. A description of the plans for publicity.
8. An explanation of any plans for proceedings.
9. A description of past versions of the workshop, including dates, organizers, submission and acceptance counts, attendance, sites, registration fees and summary budget information.
10. The URL of the workshop web site.

For all workshop organizers, if the workshop receives more than 50 valid submissions directly submitted to the dedicated online workshop submission system and accepts more than 10 quality regular papers from them, the workshop will receive one free registration, and up to three key workshop chairs will each receive a Certificate of Appreciation for Outstanding Services by Serving As Chair of "Workshop Title".

If you are interested in organizing workshops for the 2009 World Congress on Services (SERVICES 2009), please send your proposal via the 2009 Proposal Submission and Review System (USA) at http://confhub.com. Your proposal will be reviewed by the workshop chairs.
