Call for Workshop Proposals

(Archived)

Workshops provide an informal setting to discuss work in progress in an atmosphere that fosters the interactive exchange of ideas. COMMA 2024 welcomes workshop proposals that address topics satisfying the following criteria:

  • The topic falls within the general scope of the COMMA 2024 main conference. See the list of topics on the conference website (http://comma2024.krportal.org/index.html).
  • The topic is focused on a specific problem, technology, or application.
  • There is a sufficiently large community interested in the topic.

If there are multiple workshop proposals on the same or similar topics, you may be asked to merge your proposals.
