29th International European Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing (Euro-Par 2023): Last Call for Workshops and Minisymposia
February 7th, 2023 Daniela Lopez de Luise |
29th International European Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing
(Euro-Par 2023)
August 28 – September 1, 2023, St. Raphael Resort, Limassol, Cyprus
SCOPE
Euro-Par is the prime European conference covering all aspects of parallel and distributed
processing, ranging from theory to practice, from small to the largest parallel and distributed
systems and infrastructures, from fundamental computational problems to applications, from
architecture, compiler, language and interface design and implementation, to tools, support
infrastructures, and application performance aspects. To provide a meeting point for
researchers to discuss and exchange new ideas and hot topics related to parallel and
distributed computing and their applications, Euro-Par 2023 will co-locate workshops and, for
the first time, minisymposia with the main conference. This is an invitation to send proposals
for the workshop and, for the first time, a minisymposium program. Both workshops and
minisymposia will be held on August 28 – August 29, 2023, the first two days of the
conference.
WORKSHOPS
Workshop Proposal Guidelines
The proposals should include the following information:
• Workshop title and acronym, preference for length (half or full-day)
• Information of the organizers, including a short biography of each organizer (5-10 lines).
Each workshop will have a single main organizer, the corresponding contact. Others can be
co-organizers. All the organizers must be a staff member at an institution or a company, and
no PhD or other students can be organizers.
• A tentative program committee (10-15 members)
• Motivation of the workshop:
* scientific objective
* interest to the Euro-Par community
* positioning with respect to the currently existing Euro-Par workshops
• Description of the workshop:
* content
* format (contributed papers, invited talks, panels, posters or any other kind of activity i
including european project meetings)
* organizational aspects
• Workshop background (number of previous editions jointly with Europar or in any other
format)
• Link to international projects/initiatives
The decision about the acceptance/rejection of a workshop proposal will be made on the basis
of the overall quality of the proposal and the degree to which it matches the scope of the
conference. In the case that several workshop proposals have very similar objectives and
scopes, a merge of overlapping workshops may be recommended. The topics covered by a
workshop should not overlap with the main topics of the conference. Decisions will be made on
a rolling basis. Proposals can already be sent, and the organizers may be notified before the
notification deadline in case of a strong proposal.
Workshop Organizer Responsibilities
• Preparing the call for papers for the workshop and publicizing it
• Preparing and maintaining the workshop Web site including the relevant sections according to
the organization guidelines
• Selecting the workshop program committee considering that each member of the committee
should make at least one review
• Selecting papers through a rigorous peer-review process including at least three reviews per
submission using the provided EasyChair installation and considering the possible conflicts of
interest
• Delivering the final workshop program to the Euro-Par 2023 conference co-chairs in time
• Delivering the preliminary workshop proceedings in time before the conference
• Providing the Euro-Par Steering Committee with a Management Report, after the conference,
with key indicators such as: number of submitted and accepted papers, program committee and
review process management
• Delivering the final workshop proceedings with a revised version of the papers in time after
the conference in the required Springer LNCS format (12 pages max.) and writing a preface to
the workshop. Camera-ready papers will be published only if the management report has been
delivered
• Short papers can be accepted and presented at the workshop. However, to be included in the
formal Springer proceedings, the minimum length is of 10 pages per paper
• Registering for the conference
• Meet the deadlines according to the organization guidelines
Workshop Proceedings and Paper Review
The workshop proceedings will be published in a separate LNCS workshop volume after the
conference. The principal coordinator of each workshop will appear as co-editor of the
workshop volume. Registered workshop participants will receive an electronic copy of the
volume by email. All authors of accepted papers will be requested to sign a Springer copyright
form.
The Euro-Par organizers will provide an EasyChair setup for all Euro-Par 2023 workshops, and
its use is mandatory to facilitate paper submissions, reviewing, and collecting the camera-ready
versions. The workshop papers will not be published in the proceedings otherwise. Each
workshop will be an independent track within the Workshops' EasyChair installation, but it will
be fully manageable by the respective organizers. Papers of less than 10 pages will be
considered as short papers that can be presented at the conference but not published in the
proceedings.
MINISYMPOSIA
A minisymposium is a session of coordinated presentations for promoting interdisciplinary
communication on a topic of current interest and importance in the field of parallel and
distributed computing, ideally having potential application in other domains. The length and
program will be decided by the organizers; half-day (three-hour) minisymposia are very
welcome, longer is possible, not exceeding one day (6 hours). The contributions to the
minisymposia will not be published in the proceedings.
Minisymposium Proposal Guidelines
The proposals should include the following information:
• Minisymposium title and acronym, preference for length (half or full-day)
• Information of the organizers (full name, affiliation, country and email address), including a
short biography of each organizer (5-10 lines). Each minisymposium will have a single main
organizer, the corresponding contact. Others can be co-organizers.
• Motivation and scope of the minisymposium:
* Problem area to be addressed by the speakers and possible applications [max 1500
characters];
* Description of target audience and estimated number of participants [max 1500 characters]
* Link to international projects/initiatives
• Format (contributed papers, invited talks, panels, posters or any other kind of activity
including European project meetings),
• Speakers:
* a tentative list of speakers detailing their names, affiliation, email address and title of their
presentations. Nominated speakers should be approached in advance and should have agreed
that they will participate.
* companies and/or institutions involved
Minisymposium Selection Process
All the submitted proposals will be assessed by the organizing committee. The decision about
the acceptance/rejection of a minisymposium proposal will be made on the basis of the overall
quality of the proposal and the degree to which it matches the scope of the conference.
Overlapping minisymposia will be avoided (or possibly merged). Decisions will be made on a
rolling basis. Proposals can already be sent, and the organizers may be notified before the
notification deadline.
Minisymposium Organizer Responsibilities
Minisymposium organizers will be in charge of making publicity of the minisymposium and
specify the number of talks and other activities. The contributions will be sent to the same web
page as the contributions for the workshops. The review process will be decided by the
minisymposium organizers. One of the organizers will be the contact with the conference
organization. The responsibilities are as follows:
• Preparing the call for papers for the workshop and publicizing it
• Preparing and maintaining the minisymposium website mentioning the Euro-Par vinculation
• Deciding the length of the minisymposium, the program and type of activities and the names
of the speakers
• Use the provided EasyChair installation for receiving the contributions
• Delivering the program to the Euro-Par 2023 conference co-chairs in time
• Providing the Euro-Par Steering Committee with a Management Report, after the conference,
summarizing the experience and including number of persons involved in the activities as well
as any consideration useful for future editions
• Registering for the conference as well as all the participants to the minisymposium
• Meet the deadlines according to the organization guidelines
Minisymposium publication
The contributions to the minisymposia will not be published in the proceedings. However, the
organizers are invited to send one non-compulsory 4-page summary of the minisymposium.
The document should summarize the scientific discussion promoted by the minisymposium and
it will be published in the same LNCS volume as the workshop proceedings after the
conference. The authors of the summary will be requested to sign a Springer copyright form.
SUBMISSION (for Workshop and Minisymposium Organizers)
Workshop and Minisymposium proposals should be sent in PDF format via email to the
workshop co-chairs (contact details at the end of this call).
An email verification will be sent to each successful submission. In case the verification is not
