Call for Workshop Proposals

Introduction

The Conference Organizing Committee invites submissions from individuals or groups to conduct Workshops at the IoTaas 2025. The purpose of these workshops is to foster collaboration and knowledge sharing on the latest developments in The Internet of Things. Workshops should emphasize emerging ideas, concepts,edge Intelligence and Big Data for IoT and Network and Communication Technologies in the Internet of Things. They should encourage information flow between all the participants, for example, through collective or small group discussions.
We therefore encourage having an international team of organizers for a workshop who are from different institutions and represent a variety of perspectives. We aim for a balanced workshop program offering a diverse set of themes.

Proposal Content

Format

– Workshop title
– Abstract (less than 200 words)
– Name, affiliation, and e-mail address for each organizer
– Identification of the primary contact person(s)

– Background and Motivation: What is the overall topic of the workshop? Why is this topic of particular interest at this time? If the workshop has been organized in the past at conferences, please give details of previous instances (venue, URL) and describe why it should be held again and how it will extend and build upon previous ones.

– Topics and scope: These should be within or close to the scope covered by the main conference, as mentioned above.

– Format: Give a description of the proposed workshop format, including the target number of participants, planned activities (such as introductions, invited talks, breakout group activities, general discussion), as well as how these activities address the workshop objectives.

– Soliciting Submissions: Indicate how you plan to attract submissions and/or participants. Tactics may include circulating a call to relevant mailing lists (indicate these please as well), publicizing your workshop at other relevant venues, and more.

– Selecting Participants: Indicate how you plan to select participants and contributions to the workshop. Indicate a program committee to help with the organization/review process.

– Organizers: Give short descriptions of each of the organizers’ background and interests related to pervasive computing and the specific workshop topic.

Workshop selection

We aim to select a diverse set of workshops and avoid having multiple workshops on overlapping themes. Organisers of selected workshops will be asked to produce a Call for Papers to describe the workshop to potential participants and solicit submissions. In order to promote vivid discussions with more participants to the workshops, EAI will provide Workshop Organisers with one free registration to the Workshop for each 10 papers submitted to their workshop.

The criteria for assessment will include:

– Relevance to conference vision/topics and attendees
– Potential to bring in participants to the conference from different audiences
– Overall quality of contribution
– Provides a hands-on, collaborative, and/or active learning environment for attendees

Workshop publication

The workshop can be of any length from 1 to 4 hours. No additional equipment or software, except for the standard presentation setup (projector/display, power outlets, internet via WiFi) is provided by the organizers. The participants are encouraged to bring their own laptops or other necessary equipment. Accepted and presented papers will be published alongside the main conference proceedings as a sub section/chapter. Paper formats should, therefore, correspond to the templates of the publisher of the main conference

Proposal submission

Workshop proposals should be submitted in a maximum of 4 pages in PDF format, single-spaced.
