CALL FOR SPECIAL SESSIONS
( http://www.socpar.org/callforsessions.html )
SoCPaR 2009 is seeking original high quality Special Sessions on
focused discussion addressing innovative research highlighting
significant topics and emerging issues which are related to the
conference theme and with the desired expertise. Interdisciplinary
session themes are strongly sought after. Each special session
resembles a mini-conference within the main SoCPaR meeting will run
throughout the conference in parallel to other tracks (except the
keynote presentations).
IMPORTANT DATES:
Special sessions proposals: May 31, 2009
Acceptance of special sessions: June 5, 2009
CALL FOR WORKSHOP
( http://www.socpar.org/callforworkshop.html )
The SoCPaR 2009 Program Committee invites proposals for the technical
workshop program, to be held one day prior to the main conference.
SoCPaR 2009 workshops will provide a casual setting where participants
will have the opportunity to discuss specific technical topics in an
atmosphere that fosters the practical session and active exchange of
ideas. Hands-on workshops that focus on state-of-art topics or on
applications related to SoCPaR 2009 conference theme are highly
encouraged. The workshop should plan for ample time to foster open
discussions. Financial assistance for the workshop instructor will be
limited to one participation fee waiver for the conference only.
Workshops can be varying in length, but will at most last a full day.
Workshop attendees are not required to register for the main SoCPaR
2009 conference, but are encouraged to do so.
IMPORTANT DATES:
Workshop proposals: May 31, 2009
Acceptance of workshop: Jun 5, 2009
Honorary Chair:
L. A. Zadeh
