Workshops are intended to bring together researchers, developers, 
technology providers, practitioners, and users for a lively and

specific research area, or a topic of general interest. Workshops may 
include, but are not limited to:

    meet new people

proceedings associated with workshops.If workshop organisers want to 
have a call for paper it is possible, but we also encourage workshops 
submissions without call for papers (e.g., including panels, keynotes,

no more than half a day.
