<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:
justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt; text-align:
justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-US">AmI-11
workshop proposals should fit into one of the following
categories:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt; text-align:
justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-US">1. EU
PROJECT WORKSHOPS intended for internal, restricted, or public
exchange of research progress or proposals related to projects
funded by the European Commission - typically in the context of
FP7</span></p>
<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
make the 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, the type of
participants you will expect to take part, means for 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>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt; text-align:
justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-US">Only
electronic submissions in PDF format are accepted; Workshop
