The goal of Panels, Workshops, and Presentations
is to provide in-depth discussion on a particular topic;
a variety of formats are encouraged. Typically, panels consist
of short presentations by 3-4 leaders in the field, followed
by moderated dialogue among the panelists and the audience
members. Workshops consist of a combination of in-depth
presentations by 1-2 workshop leaders and either structured
training on the topic or in-depth discussion and problem-solving
among the workshop participants. Unlike panels or presentations,
workshops can be limited by size and can have attendance
criteria. Presentations are more broadly defined, may have
only a single speaker, and may be shorter than the 90 minutes
usually reserved for a Panel or Workshop. We are particularly
interested in submissions on leading edge technical topics
in computer science (e.g., nanotechnology, networking, ubiquitous
computing, low-powered processors, Internet technologies
and services, high performance computing, etc.). Submissions
on professional topics (e.g. mentoring, professional development,
networking, etc.) and submissions in keeping with the theme
of the conference, Making History, are also welcome.
Panel, workshop and presentation proposals
may be, at most 2 pages using a minimum of 10pt type. Proposals
should address the following:
- What are the objectives of the panel/workshop/presentation?
- Who should attend the panel/workshop/presentation?
Are there restrictions on attendance (size, background
knowledge)?
- What is the format of the panel/workshop/presentation?
- What are the topics being covered?
- What is the proposed session length?
- Will there be written materials, and
if so, what are they?
- What competing points of view will
be discussed?
- What knowledge can attendees expect
to gain?
- What are the number, names, and affiliation
of the speaker(s)?
- What are the educational, technical,
and professional background/qualifications of the speaker(s)?
The deadline for submission of proposals
for panels, workshops, and presentations is March 15, 2004.
Submissions
must be made electronically. For further information,
contact Professor Anne Condon (condon [at] cs.ubc.ca), one
of the GHC2004 CoChairs for Panels, Workshops, and Presentations. |
