Pre-Proposal Submission Inquiries

Proposal Content
We are soliciting workshop proposals in areas related to Ubiquitous Computing. We are aiming for a balanced workshop program that avoids overlapping themes. Workshop organizers are expected to be active in the area of their workshop proposal.
Workshop proposals should be no longer than 2 pages in ACM SIGCHI format. Please note that this format is different than the format used in previous UbiComp conferences. It is the same format being used for full and short papers at UbiComp 2008.
- Workshop proposals should include the following:
- Name of the workshop and proposed URL of site to host CfPs, program, etc.
- A summary (no more than 150 words) describing the theme(s) of the workshop
- A description of the workshop format, activities, and goals (e.g., oral presentations, posters, discussion groups, etc.)
- A list of the specific topics of interest
- Names, affiliations, and research interests of the organizers. International teams of organizers from different institutions for each workshop are encouraged.
Workshop proposals should also address:
- Who do the organizers expect will attend the workshop?
- How do the organizers plan to attract submissions and/or participants?
- How many workshop participants do the organizers expect?
- How will the organizers facilitate discussion among workshop participants?
- What is the expected outcome of the workshop?
- What plans, if any, do the organizers have for publishing the workshop position papers? (or, for example, will the policy of the workshop be that position papers will not be considered as publications?)
- How do the organizers plan to organize the workshop? (e.g., participant selection, time line, type of contributions)?
- What is the expected agenda for the workshop?
Submitting your proposal
Please email your proposal, as a PDF attachment, directly to the workshop co-chairs, Sunny Consolvo and Hyung Kyu Song, at workshops2008@ubicomp.org. The deadline for submission of workshop proposals is Friday, April 4th, 2008 at 23:59 GMT. Please note that the format for proposals this year is the ACM SIGCHI format—this is a new format for the UbiComp conference. It is the same format being used for full and short papers this year.

- Publicize the workshop with a call for participation via the Web and email
