Call for Workshop Proposals
International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML-2002)
The ICML-2002 Organizing Committee invites proposals for workshops to be
held at the Nineteenth International Conference on Machine Learning
(ICML-2002). ICML-2002 workshops will be held on the first day of the
conference, 9 July, at the University of New South Wales, the site of all
ICML-2002 events. Workshop proposals should be submitted as outlined
below.
ICML workshops provide organizers and participants with an opportunity to
focus intensively on a specific topic within machine learning. Often,
workshops concentrate on an emerging topic of technical interest, a
unique area of application for machine learning technologies or a
community-wide issue that deserves specialized attention.
Proposals
Workshop proposals should provide sufficient information to evaluate the
quality and importance of the topic, the goals of the workshop, and the
size of the interested community. Proposals should identify one or more
chairs and several other individuals willing to serve on an organizing
committee and assist with publicity and reviewing.
Proposals should be 2-4 pages and contain at least the following
information:
* Description -- What will the workshop be about? Why is the topic
best addressed in an ICML workshop, as opposed to a workshop at
another conference or papers in an ICML technical session?
* Goals -- What do you expect will come out of the workshop? How will
the workshop change participants' understanding of the area?
* Format -- 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? Organizers are encouraged to focus on
mechanisms other than traditional paper presentations and to
differentiate themselves clearly from typical conference sessions.
* Publicity -- How do you intend to publicize the workshop? How will
you reach the most interested and appropriate participants?
* Potential participants -- Who are potential participants in the
workshop?
* Organizers -- Please include the name, postal address, phone
number, e-mail address, and webpage of each chair and each member
of the organizing committee. In addition, indicate the chairs'
background in the workshop area.
