The emphasis is put on real world applications of ICT-based solutions. Therefore, all contributions are strongly encouraged to demonstrate how and to what purpose the proposed solutions are used or transferred into use. Examples of such contributions are a proof-of-concept implementation; prototype in an advanced stage; case study involving new tools and/or methodological approaches; experimental studies with real use cases, including knowledge or technology transfer; visionary papers or surveys revealing new needs and trends. Reports on academic-industrial partnerships for ICT innovation and knowledge transfer are as welcome as technological and methodological submissions. Besides the main technical programme, ICTERI 2021 will host a number of workshops on topics related to the general theme of the conference. The role of the workshops is to provide a platform for a more intensive scientific exchange amongst researchers interested in a deeper look into a particular topic and as a meeting point for the community. We call for half day or full day Workshop Proposals, which contribute to the enrichment of the ICTERI Thematic Track topics*: • Track 1: Advances in ICT Research • Track 2: Information Systems: Technology and Applications • Track 3: Academia/Industry Cooperation in ICT • Track 4: ICT in Education More details on the scope of ICTERI 2021 Tracks are provided at http://icteri.org/icteri-2021/main-conference-tracks/ Important Dates (23:59 Hawaii time) Monday, 01.03.2021 – workshop proposals submission Monday, 15.03.2021 – acceptance notification Tuesday, 28.09 - Saturday, 02.10.2021 – conference days Indicative Deadlines for Organizing a Workshop • Paper submission: Monday, 17.05.2021 • Acceptance notification: Monday, 28.06.2020 • Camera-ready paper submission: Saturday, 28.08.2021 • Registration for workshop authors: Saturday, 28.08.2021 NO FEES ICTERI does not charge any conference fee.

WORKSHOP PROPOSALS Workshops should provide forums for discussion among researchers and practitioners on focused topics or emerging research areas. Organizers may structure workshops as they see fit, possibly including invited talks, panel discussions, presentations of work in progress, fully peer-reviewed papers, or some combination. Workshops could be scheduled for a half of a day or a full day, depending on interest, space constraints, and organizer preference. Organizers should design workshops for approximately 15-30 participants to balance impact and effective discussion. In order to meet these goals, workshops should address the topics meeting the following criteria: • The topic falls in the general scope of ICTERI 2021 • There is a clear focus on a specific theme, technology, problem, or application • There is a sufficiently large audience interested in the topic The organizers of accepted workshops have to prepare a workshop webpage containing a call for papers and detailed information about the workshop organization and timelines. The organizers of successful workshops will be responsible for: • Their own reviewing process • Publicity (e.g., website, etc.) The organizers of the accepted workshops will be required to cooperate closely with the ICTERI 2021 program chairs and local organizers to finalize all mentioned details and ensure a successful co-located event. Recommended Structure of a Proposal It is strongly suggested that a Workshop Proposal includes: • The name and acronym of the workshop • The duration of the workshop – half day or full day • The abstract describing the proposed workshop for publishing (if accepted) at the conference website. The length of the abstract is circa 200 words. • The description of the theme of the workshop. The list of the topics of interest. The description of the relation between the theme of the workshop and ICTERI 2021 themes. • The types of submissions solicited by the proposed workshop. The proposers are suggested to check the types of papers called for by the main ICTERI 2021 conference at its website. • An estimation of potential interest to the workshop theme and the number of submissions • The names and affiliations of the workshop organizers, and the program committee • The information about previous offerings of the workshop (if any), including the attendance, the numbers of papers or presentations submitted and accepted, and the links to the corresponding websites and proceedings • Publicity plan for attracting submissions and attendees • Explanation of how the presentation of all accepted papers by the authors will be ensured • Important dates It is recommended that the Workshops operate roughly within the timeline given in the Indicated Deadlines section (above). Proposal Submission Guidelines The language of the main ICTERI Conference is English. Workshop Proposals submitted in any other language will be rejected without review. Submissions should be made electronically in PDF format. The authors should use the ICTERI electronic submission system at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icteri2021 and submit their proposals to the ICTERI 2021 Workshop Proposals Track. PUBLICATION OF WORKSHOP PROCEEDINGS The organizers of the ICTERI Workshops may either publish their proceedings themselves, or apply for the publication of their accepted papers as a part of the ICTERI 2021 Conference Proceedings volume. This has to be clearly stated in the Workshop Proposal. Previously, the proceedings volumes of ICTERI series were published electronically at CEUR-WS (ISSN 1613-0073) The best workshop papers, among the accepted and presented at the conference, may be selected by the ICTERI steering committee and invited to be revised and extended for the ICTERI post-proceedings volume. The post-proceedings of ICTERI are traditionally published by Springer Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS) series. PRESENTATION OF WORKSHOP PAPERS Workshop organizers should also explain in their proposal how they ensure that all accepted papers are presented at their workshop. It is strongly recommended that all the papers accepted for an ICTERI 2021 workshop must be presented at the workshop session of the conference by one of their authors. The author who presents the paper must register and physically attend the conference. For those Workshops who choose publishing their proceedings as parts of ICTERI conference proceedings volume, the Program Chairs of ICTERI 2021 reserve the right to exclude the papers, which have not been presented, from the proceedings of ICTERI 2021.
