*******************************************************************


The IEEE ICPS 2005 conference will host a day of workshops on
technical areas related to pervasive computing and services. We
invite workshop proposals from interested communities.


General information:


The purpose of the workshop proposal is to describe the research
topics covered by the workshop and how the workshop will be
organized. The conference will provide basic support for the
workshop in the form of registration, publicity, a meeting room, and
other related service for the workshop at the conference. To
encourage flexibility, the details of the format of the workshop,
the form of submissions and presentations, and the likes is left to
the workshop organizers. Because workshops are meant to foster
discussions on emerging topics of interest among the broader
SIGMOBILE community, workshops are encouraged to be inclusive rather
than exclusive in their solicitation of material. In addition,
targeting more interactive forums such as presentations of short
papers rather than traditional presentations of full-length papers
can be more conducive to successful workshops.


Detailed guidelines:


Proposals for workshops should be sent to the IEEE ICPS workshop
co-chairs Maria Papadopouli (maria@cs.unc.edu) or Kamil Sarac
(ksarac@utdallas.edu) by February 11 2005, 5pm EST and should
contain:


* A description of the workshop's technical area, its scope, its
  history (if any), and a brief justification on  why this workshop is
  distinct and appealing. This is most important and please be brief.
* A description of the workshop program (e.g., paper presentations,
  poster presentations, panel sessions) and expected attendance. The
  workshop program should fill one day and should require only one
  meeting room.
* The names and brief bio of key workshop volunteers, e.g., the
  workshop chair, program chair.
* A brief explanation on paper selection criterion.
* A draft call for papers or participation, including the format and
  page number limitation of the papers.
