IEEE INFOCOM 2023
Call for Workshop Proposals

The IEEE INFOCOM 2023 conference will be held in New York area, USA on 17-20 May 2023. In addition to the main conference technical program, the conference will include a set of *Virtual Workshops*.
The goals of the workshops are to explore emerging research topics, and to provide a forum for authors to present early research results on these topics. We would like to have a limited number of workshops, with a high quality program dominated by contributed papers. Contributions to the workshops would be for presenting novel ideas in a less formal setting, possibly more focused on a particular topic than the regular conference sessions do. While we expect that workshop papers would be less mature than a typical INFOCOM conference paper, they should present particularly novel ideas and approaches, which have the potential to make their way to full conference papers in future editions. Therefore, we expect that workshops will run a rigorous review process, to make sure programs will be of high quality. We will interact with the chairs of the selected workshops after the review phase, to discuss with them about a suitable acceptance rate and format of the workshop, based on the set of submitted and accepted papers. We seek proposals from individuals and teams interested in organizing strong workshops. Ideally, each workshop will be a full day, with 4-5 sessions of 1.5 hours each, or half day. The dates for paper submission, notification, camera-ready version, and session times will be coordinated across the selected workshops. Papers submitted to the individual workshops should be due on December 20, 2022 (tentative, the notification of acceptance date of the INFOCOM 2023 main conference is December 2, 2022), with the paper acceptance notification due on Feb 6, 2023 (tentative) and camera-ready version due on March 6, 2023 (tentative). All workshop papers will be submitted for inclusion to IEEE Xplore as well as various Abstracting and Indexing databases.
