PURPOSE AND SCOPE

The 12th International Conference on Collaboration Technologies and

Systems (CTS 2011) Organizing Committee invites proposals for symposia,

workshops and special sessions to be held in conjunction with the CTS

2011 Conference.

Symposia, workshops and special sessions provide an opportunity for

researchers to present results and participate in focused discussions of

timely topics on various areas of collaboration computing systems and

technologies. They are to establish a common understanding of a certain

aspect, to share experiences, to foster research communities, to learn

from each other, to identify open problems and/or to explore future

directions of research.

A symposium will typically go for more than one day. A workshop will

typically be a full day (10-16 papers). A special session will

typically have 4-6 papers. Symposia, workshops and special sessions may

also have invited speakers, panels, or forums. Symposia, workshops and

special sessions will be fully refereed and their accepted papers will

be published as part of the CTS 2011 proceedings.

The symposia, workshops and special sessions are considered part of the

overall CTS Conference and hence included in the Conference’s

registration. For each symposium, workshop or special session, at least

one organizer must commit to attending and running the respective

symposium, workshop or special session.

Requirements for submission of a Symposium, Workshop or Special Session

proposal:

* Title of the symposium, workshop or special session.

* A brief technical description of the symposium, workshop or special

session, identification of specific technical issues/topics, focus, and

motivations / justification of its timeliness.

* Instructions for paper submission and a description of the review

process.

* The names, postal addresses, phone numbers and e-mail addresses of the

proposed (symposium, workshop, special session) organizing committee.

This committee should consist of appropriate number of members

knowledgeable in the technical issues to be addressed by the symposium,

workshop or special session.

* Primary contact(s) of the organizing committee.

* Estimated number of participants, length, and important dates of the

symposium/ workshop/ special session.

* The means of publicity and soliciting participation that will be

pursued.

* Any resources that may be required, such as two days, one day or half

day symposium, workshop, special session, expected room size, whether a

panel setup is needed, etc.

* Information about the previous edition of the

symposium/workshop/special session (if any): attendance, number of

papers submitted, number of papers accepted.

All proposals should be submitted by electronic mail as a .doc

attachment. Samples of previous proposals can be found on the CTS 2010
