A workshop is an exploration of open issues in the field, conducted by someone who has a particular interest and expertise in the issue. Workshops are small, closed, highly interactive working sessions; it is not unusual for a workshop to result, eventually, in a book or other major publication. To participate in a workshop, you must submit a position paper to the workshop organizer describing your interest and experience in the specific issue to be discussed. The workshop organizer will select the participants and notify you about your acceptance status. Workshops are usually, but not always, oriented towards more experienced people.

Prospective participants must submit a position paper to the workshop organizer. See each workshop description for information about submitting position papers. If the workshop organizer does not ask for specific content for the paper, then a one to three page paper describing your interest and experience in the area would be appropriate. Workshop registration will not be processed without approval from the workshop organizer.
