PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The 12th International Conference on Collaboration Technologies and
Systems (CTS 2011) Organizing Committee invites proposals for symposia,
workshops and special sessions to be held in conjunction with the CTS
2011 Conference.

Symposia, workshops and special sessions provide an opportunity for
researchers to present results and participate in focused discussions of
timely topics on various areas of collaboration computing systems and
technologies. They are to establish a common understanding of a certain
aspect, to share experiences, to foster research communities, to learn
from each other, to identify open problems and/or to explore future
directions of research.

A symposium will typically go for more than one day. A workshop will
typically be a full day (10-16 papers). A special session will
typically have 4-6 papers. Symposia, workshops and special sessions may
also have invited speakers, panels, or forums. Symposia, workshops and
special sessions will be fully refereed and their accepted papers will
be published as part of the CTS 2011 proceedings.

The symposia, workshops and special sessions are considered part of the
overall CTS Conference and hence included in the Conference’s
registration. For each symposium, workshop or special session, at least
one organizer must commit to attending and running the respective
symposium, workshop or special session.

Requirements for submission of a Symposium, Workshop or Special Session
proposal:

* Title of the symposium, workshop or special session.
* A brief technical description of the symposium, workshop or special
session, identification of specific technical issues/topics, focus, and
motivations / justification of its timeliness.
* Instructions for paper submission and a description of the review
process.
* The names, postal addresses, phone numbers and e-mail addresses of the
proposed (symposium, workshop, special session) organizing committee.
This committee should consist of appropriate number of members
knowledgeable in the technical issues to be addressed by the symposium,
workshop or special session.
* Primary contact(s) of the organizing committee.
* Estimated number of participants, length, and important dates of the
symposium/ workshop/ special session.
* The means of publicity and soliciting participation that will be
pursued.
* Any resources that may be required, such as two days, one day or half
day symposium, workshop, special session, expected room size, whether a
panel setup is needed, etc.
* Information about the previous edition of the
symposium/workshop/special session (if any): attendance, number of
papers submitted, number of papers accepted.

All proposals should be submitted by electronic mail as a .doc
attachment. Samples of previous proposals can be found on the CTS 2010
