The following is a fresh call for workshop proposals for ICALP and LICS 2020,
following the change in location. The conferences and workshops will now be
held in Saarbrücken, Germany instead of Beijing. The new deadline for workshop
proposals is 26 Feb 2020.
--
ICALP 2020 (http://econcs.pku.edu.cn/icalp2020/) and LICS 2020
(https://lics.siglog.org/lics20/) will take place in co-location from 8th till
11th of July 2020 in Saarbrücken, Germany. The conferences will be preceded by
two days of joint workshops, held on July 6th and 7th. We invite proposals of
workshops affiliated with ICALP-LICS 2020 on all topics covered by ICALP and
LICS, as well as other areas of theoretical computer science.
Proposals should be submitted no later than
*** February 26 2020 ***
by sending an email to [email protected]. Due to limited space of the
venue we might not be able to accommodate all the proposed workshops.
A workshop proposal submission should consist of:
- workshop's name and URL (if already available)
- workshop's organizers together with their email addresses and web pages;
- short description of the area covered by the workshop and the motivation
behind it;
- expected number of participants (if available, please include the data of
previous years);
- planned format of the event;
- date preference (July 6th or 7th).
As for the format, a standard option is a one-day workshop consisting of
invited talks by leading experts and of shorter contributed talks, either
directly invited by the organizers or selected among submissions. Deviations
from this standard are also warmly welcome, including a shorter or a longer
time span than a full day, or other elements of the schedule like open problem
sessions, discussion panels, or working sessions.
If you plan to have invited speakers, please specify their expected number and,
if possible, tentative names. If you plan a call for papers or for contributed
talks followed by a selection procedure, the submission date should be
scheduled after ICALP 2020 and LICS 2020 notification, while the notification
should take place considerably before the early registration deadline. In your
submission please include details, in particular the time schedule, of the
planned procedure of selecting papers and/or contributed talks. If you plan to
have published proceedings of your workshop, please provide the name of the
publisher. Please be advised that ICALP-LICS 2020 is not able to provide any
financial support for publishing workshop proceedings.
We expect the workshops to be financially independent. The expenses related to
the participation of invited speakers, production of workshop materials, etc.
should be covered from independent sources. On top of standard ICALP/LICS
registration fee there will be a moderate registration fee for the workshops
that will cover coffee breaks. This workshop fee will be waived for maximum two
invited speakers for each workshop.
