in conjunction with
*BIRD'08*
2nd International Conference
on
Bioinformatics Research and Development**
*_www.birdconf.org <http://www.birdconf.org/>_*
*
*Technical University of Vienna, Austria
July 7 -- 9, 2008
The BIRD'08 Organizing Committee invites proposals for the Workshop
Program to be held on July 7-9 in parallel to the main technical program
of the BIRD conference. The main goal of the BIRD'08 workshops is to
stimulate and facilitate an active exchange, interaction, and comparison
of approaches, methods, and ideas about specific (both theoretical and
applicative) topics in the general area of Bioinformatics.
Workshops should be organized to facilitate informal discussion and
active engagement among attendees. Members from all areas of the
Bioinformatics community are invited to submit workshop proposals for
review. Workshops on new emerging topics or specific relevant aspects of
broader topics are particularly encouraged. Workshops can vary in
length, but most will be one full day in duration. Workshop organizers
and attendees must register for their workshop and are permitted to join
the main BIRD conference.
Requirements for Submissions
To propose a workshop in BIRD'08, you will submit a complete workshop
proposal containing the following information:
* The title of the workshop;
* A 1 page (max.) description of the technical issues that the
workshop will address;
* The statements:
o How is the workshop relevant to, and complementary with, the
main conference?
o Why is the workshop of particular significance at this time?
* The names, affiliations, postal address, phone and fax numbers,
and e-mail addresses of the workshop organizers (It is expected
that organizers will be recognized experts in the related fields,
and the organizing committee should include individuals from
multiple institutions);
* A list of potential program committee members, including their
affiliations;
* The expected number of attendees (estimating minimum and maximum
values);
* Description of paper review process and acceptance standards;
* A draft workshop call for papers;
* The expected date and duration of the workshop;
All proposals should be submitted by electronic mail to the BIRD
Conference Organisation Office (office at birdconf.org
<mailto:office at birdconf.org>), in plain ASCII text, no later than
December 1, 2007
Proposers will be notified of the committee's decision no later than
December 15, 2007
The selection of the workshops to be included in the final BIRD program
will be based upon multiple factors, including: the scientific/technical
interest of the topics, the quality of the proposal, balance and
distinctness of workshop topics, and the capacity of the conference
workshop program.
Responsibilities of BIRD and of Workshop Organizers
For all accepted proposals, BIRD will be responsible for:
* Providing conference software for paper upload and review process
(obligatory)
* Providing logistic support and a meeting place for the workshop;
* Providing electronic registration system
* Together with the organizers, determining the workshop date and time;
* Publication of the papers in the proceedings of BIRD'08.
Workshop organizers will be responsible for the following:
* Setting up a web site for the workshop;
* Advertising the workshop and issuing a call for participation/papers;
* Collecting and evaluating submissions using the BIRD conference
software (mandatory), notifying authors of acceptance or rejection
in due time, and ensuring a transparent and fair selection
process. All workshop organizers are recommended to adopt the
following deadlines for submissions and notifications of acceptance.
o Submission of Full Papers: January 31, 2008
o Noification of Acceptance: March 15, 2008
o Camera-ready Copies: April 15, 2008
* Ensuring that the workshop organizers and the participants get
registered to the workshop by registering to BIRD'08.
* Accepted workshops are entitled to receive a small budget which is
depending on the number of accepted and registered papers
BIRD reserves the right to cancel any workshop if the above
responsibilities are not fulfilled, or if too few attendees register for
the workshop.
