Workshop proposals should contain the necessary information for the workshop chair and reviewers from the conference organizing committee to judge the importance, quality and community interest in the proposed topic. Each workshop should have one or more designated organizers and a workshop program committee. When proposing a workshop, please provide (at least) the following information:

Topic - What will the workshop be about? Why do you believe this is an interesting and significant topic? Why is the topic best addressed in an IBERAMIA/SBIA/SBRN workshop, as opposed to a workshop at another conference or papers in an IBERAMIA/SBIA/SBRN technical session?

Goals - What do you expect will come out of the workshop? How will the workshop change the participants' understanding of the area? Do you think it will have an impact on the community at large?

Intended audience - From which areas do you expect potential participants to come? How many participants do you expect?

Format - One or two days? How will the workshop sessions be scheduled? How much time will be used for discussion, panel discussions, paper presentations, invited talks, or other methods for encouraging communication and consensus?

Publicity - How do you intend to publicize the workshop? How will you reach the most interested and appropriate participants? Are there any plans to document the workshop results (beyond IBERAMIA/SBIA/SBRN publication)?

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;

Description of paper review process and acceptance standards;

A draft workshop call for papers;

If the workshop was previously held: The name of the affiliated conference, if applicable; The names, titles, and affiliations of organizers; The numbers of submissions, accepted papers, and attendees at the last (two) workshop(s); The publication of the proceedings.
