Call for Workshop Proposals
The workshops at FIS008 will complement the main conference by providing a forum for active discussions and exchange of ideas focused on one or two cross-domain issues related to the Future Internet. The purpose of the workshops will be to provide an informal setting for attendees, potentially affiliated to different Internet disciplines to discuss scientific and technical issues, share experiences, and to lay the foundations for the establishment of the cross-domain research community which will shape the Future Internet research agenda. From a content perspective workshop proposals should comply with the agenda of the main conference and concentrate on topics which are likely to benefit from interactions and information exchange within a focused group of experts from different areas and have a wide range of workshops (full-day, or half-day) covering fundamental research questions for the realization of the next generation of the Internet, bringing together researchers from different disciplines.
