Proposals are solicited for full-day or half-day workshops to be held on December 12, 2009, the Saturday that follows the main ICIDS 2009 Interactive Storytelling conference.
ICIDS workshops shall provide a platform for presenting or developing novel ideas in a less formal or more hands-on way than the main conference itself.
Workshops may be oriented towards theoretical topics, but also address practical issues. The format of each workshop is to be determined by the organizers. It is expected that they reserve ample time for general discussion and involvement of the participants, especially integrating students and novices to our research area.
Researchers and practitioners from all segments of the interactive digital storytelling community are invited to submit proposals. The organizers of approved workshops are expected to define and manage the call for contributions, and to take an active role in gathering the participants. The organizers will have to provide an 1-2 pages article for the ICIDS 2009 proceedings (Springer LNCS), describing the motivation, aims and format of the event. This summary must comply with the formatting rules for final camera-ready papers (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html) and be submitted by September 20, 2009. Organizers are also expected to provide a summary of the actual outcome and derived future activities, after the event.
Submissions describing proposed workshops (up to 1,000 words) should include the theme and goals of the workshop, planned activities, the maximum number of participants, and a description of the participants recruitment and selection process, along with a clear
and complete specification of the practical requirements, concerning room size, equipment, etc. Submissions should also include a one-paragraph biographical sketch for each organizer.
The workshop will be held at the CCG Computer Graphics Center (http://www.ccg.pt), at a walking distance of approximately 20 minutes (1.7 km or about 1 mile) from the main conference venue. A bus transfer service will be provided.
Workshop proposals must be sent by email to the chairs of ICIDS 2009 (.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
