Call for Workshops and Tutorials

Researchers both from academia and industry are invited to submit proposals for workshops and tutorials to be held as part of CPS-IoT Week 2022 (www.cpsweek.org) in Milan (Italy) on May 3-6, 2022.

Workshop Proposals

Workshop proposals should contain at least the following information:
  • The name of the workshop and its duration (half or full day)
  • A brief description of the motivation and rationale for the workshop, including the reasons why the workshop is of interest to the broad CPS/IoT community
  • A draft version of the CFP, as complete as possible, including workshop deadlines
  • The name, affiliation, contact info, and short bio of each organizer (note that the complete organizing committee should be included and later changes are not allowed)
  • A tentative list of prospective TPC members, including their names and affiliations; please specify whether their potential participation has been already secured or not
  • The planned format of the workshop, including the expected number of presented papers, invited/keynote talks, panels, posters/demonstrations, or any other means to facilitate lively discussions and attendee involvement
  • The expected number of submissions and the expected number of participants
  • A description of the plans for publicity
  • As CPS-IoT Week is planned to run in hybrid mode, a description of how remote access to the workshop by attendees and/or presenters is intended to be provided, if any
  • In case of a recurring workshop, the proposal should include a description of the history of the workshop (including the number of submitted and accepted papers, and the attendee count), as well as a description of the changes w.r.t. previous editions, concerning format (if any) and composition of the TPC
Workshop papers may appear in IEEExplore if the organizers wish to do so; in this case, the CPS-IoT Week publication chairs will assist in the process.

Proposals will be evaluated based on the attractiveness and relevance of the topics to CPS-IoT Week, the past performance of the workshop (if applicable), and the qualifications of the organizers. The CPS-IoT Week organizers reserve the right to cancel a workshop if too few participants are registered.

Tutorial Proposals

Tutorial proposals should include:
  • The title of the tutorial and its duration (half or full day)
  • A brief description of the motivation and rationale for the tutorial, including the reasons why it is of interest to the broad CPS/IoT community, and the potential target audience
  • The name, affiliation, contact info, and short bio of each organizer (note that the complete organizing team should be included and later changes are not allowed)
  • The planned format in detail
  • As CPS-IoT Week is planned to run in hybrid mode, a description of how remote access to the workshop by attendees and/or presenters is intended to be provided, if any
Tutorials should be of interest to a wide audience in CPS and IoT; they should instruct attendees about specific topics, teach the use of new systems or tools, or provide the necessary background to understand key technical advances in CPS- and IoT-related topics.
Proposals will be evaluated based on the general interests to the CPS-IoT Week participants, quality of the proposal, and qualifications of the presenters. If accepted, the tutorial organizers are required to provide a beta website that will contain links of the tutorial materials to the chairs one month prior to the conference, with preliminary content that will be used in calls for participation. In case the planned tutorial requires the use of laboratories or PC access for the audience, the proposal should discuss opportunities and pitfalls when running in a hybrid mode. The CPS-IoT Week organizers reserve the right to cancel a tutorial if too few attendees are registered.
