CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS:
Workshops

## SPLASH Workshops
Following its long-standing tradition, SPLASH 2017 will host a variety of
high-quality workshops, allowing their participants to meet and discuss
research questions with peers, to mature new and exciting ideas, and to build
up communities and start new collaborations. SPLASH workshops complement the
main tracks of the conference and provide meetings in a smaller and more
specialized setting. Workshops cultivate new ideas and concepts for the future,
optionally recorded in formal proceedings.
## Call for Submissions:
We encourage proposals for workshops on any topic relevant to SPLASH. If there
is a topic relevant to SPLASH that you feel passionate about, and you want to
connect with others who have similar interests, you should consider submitting
a proposal to organize a workshop! The exact format of the workshop can be
defined by the proposal submitters, and we more than welcome new, and
unconventional ideas for workshop formats. The following suggestions may serve
as a starting point:
- Mini-conferences provide their participants the possibility to present their
work to other domain experts. The smaller and more specialized setting of the
workshop allows for more extensive Q&A sessions and facilitates ample
discussions,which may continue after the workshop. Typically, presentations of
work-in-progress as well as of completed projects are welcome. The workshop may
or may not produce formal proceedings.
- Retreats act as a platform for domain experts to gather with the purpose of
tackling the issues of a predetermined research agenda. Retreats are highly
interactive and goal-oriented, allowing their participants to address open
challenges in their domain, to explore new, uncharted ideas, and to (maybe
even) uncover new, promising research domains.
- Agenda-setting workshops provide a forum for domain experts to determine a
research agenda for a sub-field, and may include collaborations on an agenda
document that is published after the workshop is over.
Other common activities at workshops include poster sessions, hands-on
practical work, and focus groups.
Proposal submitters should feel free to direct questions about workshop formats
to the workshop chairs. Workshops that include presentation of research papers,
and that implement a SIGPLAN-approved selection process, may be archived as
formal proceedings in the ACM Digital Library; note that this option is
available only to submitters to the early phase.
## Workshop Submission Phase:
This year, SPLASH provides two options to submit proposals, either Early Phase
or Late Phase (but not both):
Early Phase Submissions due: 20 January 2017
Late Phase Submissions due: 3 March 2017
