Evaluation criteria include overall quality and the fit with respect to the expected ICDE 2017 program. Note that proposals are especially encouraged on emerging topics that are relevant to data engineering and are not already covered by the main conference.
The decision about acceptance/rejection of workshop proposals will be made by the Workshop Chairs in consultation with the General and Research Program Chairs, taking into account several factors including venue capacity.
Organizational Details
The organizers of successful workshops will be responsible for their own review process and publicity (e.g., website). They are required to cooperate closely with the Workshop Chairs and the ICDE 2017 local organizers to finalize all details mentioned above, provide input for publicity to the ICDE 2017 organizers, etc. In particular, local organizers may require that all workshops adhere to a specific general timetable to facilitate catering.
Workshops will benefit from the registration process of ICDE 2017. Each workshop will be charged a fixed amount per workshop participant for room costs, equipment rental, coffee breaks, etc. Beyond this, if the organizers of a workshop choose to charge additional fees to cover meals, etc., they must inform the General Chairs of their intent and must manage the process on their own.
Workshop organizers must inform the Workshop Chairs of the numbers of submissions and acceptances as these numbers become available. Workshops with fewer than 15 expected registrants may be canceled at the discretion of the conference organizers. Only accepted workshops are official ICDE workshops and enjoy the support mentioned above.
Workshop timeline (deadlines for submissions, reviews, camera-ready papers): to be proposed by the workshop organizers in agreement with the ICDE 2017 Workshop Chairs.
Publication
The proceedings of the workshops will be published jointly with the conference proceedings. All papers should have the same format as conference research papers.
