Subject: (PN) Workshops and tutorials at the Petri net conferences

Dear members of the Petri net community

The Steering Committee has decided to extend the format of the Petri 
net conference, so that there now are a total of 6 workshops and 2 
advanced tutorials on the two days prior to the conference. The 
papers from the workshops will be published in informal proceedings 
which typically will be technical reports of the organising 
University (or just hand-outs).

After the conference we will invite a number of the best workshop 
papers to contribute to a Joint Post-proceedings, to be published 
much more widely, e.g. by Springer-Verlag in LNCS. The chosen papers 
are expected to be thoroughly revised and will go through an 
additional round of reviewing similar to the process which is used 
for special sections in journals. Hence, the quality will be high.

The new format will be implemented starting with the 2007 conference 
in Siedlce, Poland, and the first volume of the Joint 
Post-proceedings will be ready for sale at our conference in June 
2008. For each conference the Steering Committee will appoint two 
Workshop and Tutorial chairs who will coordinate the workshops and 
tutorials and will be the editors of the Joint Post-proceedings.

For the 2007 conference in Siedlce, Poland the Workshop and Tutorial 
chairs will be:

	- Wil van der Aalst, The Netherlands
	- Jonathan Billington, Australia

Within the next few weeks they will publish a "Call for Proposals for 
Workshops and Advanced Tutorials". This is an invitation to the Petri 
net community to propose subjects and organisers for workshops and 
advanced tutorials. The deadline for submission of proposals is June 1 2006.

Kurt Jensen
SC chair
