<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt; text-align:
justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-US">Workshops
are an
opportunity to meet in the context of the AmI-11 conference and
discuss a
common theme and/or common topics of interest. In particular
emerging and
future areas in the field are subject to organize a workshop at
AmI-11. The
workshop should have the potential to move the field forward and
suggest
promising directions. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt; text-align:
justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-US">Interested
workshop
organizers are requested to submit a proposal to the conference.
If the
workshop is accepted the workshop is publicized as part of the
conference
programme and potential participants have to submit a position
paper. It is our
aim that refereed material from workshops will be bundled in
separate
proceedings by Springer Verlag (approval pending).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt; text-align:

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt; text-align:
justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-US">2. FOCUSSED
SCIENTIFIC WORKSHOPS emphasizing a relatively narrow topic
related to the
AmI-11 overall theme. The topic should be interesting and
concise such as to
attract a group of like-minded participants.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt; text-align:
justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-US">3.
EARLY-WORK
SCIENTIFIC WORKSHOPS soliciting well defended research project
proposals,
work-in-progress reports, and similar early papers of sufficient
quality.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt; text-align:
justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-US">You should

general goal of the workshop clear, topics to be discussed, a
proposal for the
schedule of the workshop, the type of workshop as either
half-day or full-day,

marketing of
the workshop, the procedures for handling the reviews as well as
plans for
using the outcome of the workshop. The submission should also
include a 250
word Call for Participation to be used to promote the workshop.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt; text-align:
justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-US">Accepted
workshop
abstracts will be published in the Conference Proceedings (at
least two pages
long). After acceptance, a final, revised camera-ready version
will be required
in electronic form to go in the proceedings. Final camera-ready
versions of
accepted workshop proposals must be accompanied by a signed
copyright form.
After acceptance organizers should set up an external web page
delivering all
the necessary information for interested people. Workshops can
be restricted to
participation upon invitation only or they can be kept open. In
any case,
advance registration will be required in order to plan ahead for
the required
facilities. The criteria, reviewing and acceptance of each
workshop papers is
handled by their workshop organizers.</span></p>
