- Title and Description (Topic, Motivation, Objectives)
A title and brief description (max. 500 words) of the workshop topic, motivation, and goals. Please explicitly state the objectives of the workshop (i.e. give a "mission statement"). Why is your workshop necessary? Which similar workshops were held recently, and how does your workshop relate to these? (Please not more than 500 words). - Target Audience and Number of Participants
A description of the target audience and expected number of participants. Your estimated number will be critical in budgeting. It might also be worthwhile for you to contact people who you think may be interested in attending to get a better idea of your potential draw. This would be especially useful if you are counting on attracting participants from areas not traditionally associated with the AI*IA attendance. (At a minimum, please ask your PC members if they think they would attend if the workshop is accepted.) - Length and Format of Workshop
The desired length of the workshop (half a day or a whole day). An estimated timeline and intended format for the workshop (talks, panel discussions, invited speaker, etc.) is helpful in evaluating your proposal. - Budget Proposal
A budget proposal. Note that AI*IA workshops are expected to be self-financing. If a sufficient number of participants inscribe to the main conference, AI*IA will provide room sufficient for your registrants, standard AV equipment (overhead and data projector), a copy of your proceedings for your registrants (plus some number of extra copies). The attendants to the main conference will not be required to pay workshop fee. AI*IA will set also the fees for workshop only attendees.
Arrangement for other funding in a co-sponsorship agreement are encouraged. if you plan to do so, you must enumerate the budget here, and details of how you will cover the extra costs. - Program Committee (Confirmed Members Only)
A list of individuals who have agreed to be part of the workshop program committee if the workshop proposal is accepted. Please only list confirmed PC members. - Workshop Organizers and Full Contact Info for Main Contact Person
The names of the workshop organizing committee, and full postal address, phone number, fax and e-mail of the contact person.
