This year, in a break from previous DIMVAs, we want to allow for a small
number of workshops to be co-located with the main conference.
Researchers and practitioners are therefore invited to submit proposals
for workshops to be held in conjunction with the DIMVA 2011 conference.
The purpose of workshops is to provide a forum for exchanging opinions,
presenting ideas, and discussing preliminary results in a smaller and
more interactive atmosphere.

Proposals should include:

* Workshop name and a 150 to 200 word abstract describing the
workshop, suitable for the conference web site.
* A short summary of the topic, scope and significance of the
workshop including a discussion on the relevance to DIMVA topics.
* Information about the procedure for selecting papers, plans for
dissemination (for example, special issues of journals, or position
statements distributed to the participants), the expected number of
participants and the planned workshop format.
* A brief CV of each of the organizers including contact addresses
and an identification of a single primary contact.

All proposals will be judged on their merits and only the best proposals
will be accepted.

* Link from DIMVA web site.
