Workshops also provide the opportunity for representatives of a technical community to coordinate efforts, and to establish collective plans of action.
Workshops are full-day events that occur on either of the first two days of the conference.
To ensure a sufficiently small group for effective interaction, workshop attendance is managed by the organizers of each workshop. Prospective attendees are typically required to submit a position paper outlining their opinions on an aspect of the workshop's topic. Details on the format and submission of position papers vary depending on the criteria established by the workshop organizers. Please check individual workshop Web pages, or contact the primary workshop organizer, for additional information regarding the content, participation criteria, and deadline for a particular workshop. Unless otherwise stated by the workshop organizers, the deadline for position papers is August 17, 2001.
