Subject: (PN) Call for Proposals for Workshops (and Tutorials) - Petri nets
2009 - Paris
**********************************************************
**** Call for Proposals for Workshops (and Tutorials) ****
*********** Petri nets 2009 *************
**********************************************************
The 30th International Conference on Application and Theory of Petri
Nets and Other Models of Concurrency (Petri nets 2009) will take place
in Paris (as usual in the last week of June). For this major event, we
are inviting people to submit proposals for both tutorials and
workshops.
- The purpose of the workshops is to provide an informal setting for
workshop participants to discuss technical issues, exchange research
ideas, and to discuss and or demonstrate applications. These workshops
may be driven by fundamental academic interests or by needs from
specific application domains. We encourage a diversity of workshops
relating to Petri nets.
- Proposals for high-quality tutorials on Petri nets or related to Petri
nets, from academic research to industrial applications, are solicited.
Tutorial levels may be introductory, intermediate, or advanced. A
tutorial's basic purpose is to introduce researchers to a new or
emerging area or to provide deeper insight into a particular topic.
Tutorials can be one day or half a day.
All workshop/tutorial proposals must be written in English.
(1) Workshop Proposal Requirements
Proposals for workshops should be no more than 3 pages in length and
submitted to the W&T committee before June 1st 2008 (see below).
A workshop proposal should include a draft call-for-papers containing at
least the following information:
- Title and brief technical description of the workshop, specifying the
goals and the technical issues that will be its focus.
- A brief description of why and to whom the workshop is of interest.
- The names and contact information (web page, email address) of the
Program Committee (PC) chairs, i.e., the workshop organizers. Moreover,
a tentative list of workshop PC members should be given. We suggest one
or two PC chairs and at least 10 PC members coming from different
countries.
Moreover, the following additional information is requested:
- A list of related workshops or similar events to be held in the same
year or within the previous two years.
- A description of the qualifications of the workshop organizers with
respect to organizing this workshop (e.g., papers published in the
proposed topic area, previous workshop organization, other relevant
information).
Each workshop program committee (in particular the chairs) will be
responsible for the following:
- Producing a web page and a "Call for Papers/Participation" for their
workshop.
- Providing a brief description of the workshop for the Petri Nets
conference web page and program and providing a workshop web page the
Petri Nets conference can refer to for details.
- Selecting the papers for the workshop proceedings and providing the
camera ready copies ready for publication.
- All advertising of the workshop beyond web page advertising.
- Appointing session chairs, etc.
The local organization of the Petri net conference will take care of the
production of each (informal) workshop proceedings. After the conference
we will invite a number of the best workshop papers to contribute to a
Joint Post-proceedings, to be published in the new subseries of Lecture
Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) entitled "Transactions on Petri Nets
and Other Models of Concurrency" (ToPNoC), i.e., a selection of papers
from all workshops will be combined into a single volume. The revised
papers will go through an additional round of reviewing. Note that the
W&T chairs will be responsible for liaison with the publisher,
organising the additional round of reviewing and the final selection.
The workshop chairs will play an important role in suggesting papers and
the final selection. See
