Call for Workshops Proposals

We invite proposals for workshops to be held during the first day of the conference.

Important dates:

• Proposal submission deadline: October 15, 2002
• Proposer notification: November 15, 2002
• Individual workshop submissions deadline: January 15, 2003
• Individual submitters notification: February 1, 2003
• Workshops: May 20, 2003

WWW2003 workshops are intended to provide a forum for highly interactive discussion on focused topics. Workshop proposals should address current Web-related issues which can benefit from small-group information exchange and discussion. Attendance at past workshops has been limited in order to promote interactivity. Workshop organizers are responsible for determining whether the workshop will be open registration or by invitation-only. Workshop organizers are responsible for conducting, if appropriate, their own "Workshop Call for Participation." The WWW2003 site will link to these CFPs.

Workshops may appeal to a wide audience or more specialized communities, but should be able to attract at least 25 participants in Spring 2003

Submissions:

If you are interested in giving a workshop, please e-mail your proposal to:

All proposals must include:

• A two-paragraph description of the workshop topic and content
• A statement of the workshop's anticipated outcome
• A statement why you believe the workshop topic to be important to the Web in the Spring 2003 timeframe
• A statement stating whether your workshop will have a separate application process, i.e., if participants must specifically apply to the workshop organizers. (In the latter case, you will need to help manage the registration process.)
• If workshop submissions will be solicited, a description of how these submissions will be evaluated
• Why you believe your workshop will attract at least 25 people to Budapest in Spring 2003
• A short description of your qualifications relative to the topic area including your past experience in organizing/facilitating workshops
