Call for Workshop Proposals

Full-day or half-day workshops are intended to bring together researchers, developers, technology providers, and users for a lively discussion of issues and an informal exchange of ideas and information. Workshops may target a specific application area, a specific research area, or a topic of general interest.

We invite individuals or teams interested in organizing such a workshop to submit proposals. Workshops will be held on March 4 and 5, 2012 . Tutorials and the 3DUI Symposium will also be held on these two days.

Workshop proposals should be submitted electronically and should include:

• A title
• A brief topic description (approximately 500 words) including a statement of what the organizers expect participants to submit (such as position papers or preliminary research results),
• A list of invited speakers,
• Whether a panel discussion format will be used,
• The expected benefits of participating in the workshop, and
• The names, contact information, and brief biographies (roughly 100 words each) of the workshop organizers.

The proposal should also identify the intended audience, its size, and all technical requirements, including space, audio/visual, computer, and communication needs, etc.

The deadline for workshop submissions is: November 4, 2011

For accepted workshops, the publication date for any materials (such as workshop proceedings) that the organizers would like IEEE VR 2012 to supply with registration materials is: January 10, 2012
