  • Preferred workshop duration (half day or full day)

ORGANIZATIONAL DETAILS

The ICDE’21 organization provides:

  • A link on the ICDE’21 site
  • Management of registration for participants
  • Setup of meeting space and related equipment
  • Coffee-breaks and workshop lunch arrangements

If the organizers of a workshop choose to charge additional fees to cover meals, etc., they must inform the General Chairs of their intent and must manage the process on their own.

The main responsibility of organizing a workshop goes to the chairperson(s) of the workshop. The workshop organization must take care of:

  • Set up and host a webpage for the workshop
  • Coordinate deadlines and acceptance notifications for workshop papers together with the ICDE’21 workshop co-chairs
  • Prepare and issue the call for papers, and manage the whole submission and review process
  • Provide input for publicity to the local organizers of ICDE’21 
  • Provide a brief description of the workshop for inclusion on the ICDE’21 web page
  • Coordinate with the ICDE’21 proceedings’ officers to collect camera-ready copies of the papers, the signed copyright forms needed to prepare the final proceedings
  • Schedule workshop activities in collaboration with the ICDE’21 local organizers to adhere to a specific general timetable to facilitate catering.

Workshop organizers must also inform the Workshop Chairs of the numbers of submissions and acceptances as these numbers become available. Workshops with fewer than 15 expected registrants may be canceled at the discretion of the conference organizers. Only accepted workshops are official ICDE workshops and enjoy the support mentioned above.
