Workshops & Tutorials

In this year’s AM.ICAD, we encourage proposals for workshops, promoting activities that help build participation and learning, while fostering common research agendas for all the community. Workshops should enable interactive and communal knowledge exchanges through group-based activities (e.g. doing, making, hacking, sharing dialogues).

Workshop agendas can range from foundations, applications and methodologies, to interdisciplinary research skills, debating emerging research areas, and defining challenging problems. Submissions targeting fundamental concepts, advanced work or work-in-progress, and brainstorming activities are all invited.

This type of workshop should not take the shape of oral presentation sessions where authors present papers. Short presentations or tutorials from organizers, invited speakers and participants can be included (⅓), but should lead to a joint activity or reflection(⅔). We also encourage the workshop organisers to share the outcome of the activity with the conference participants.

Workshop organisers should facilitate discussion, help maintain productive interaction, and encourage participation through a set of planned prompts or exercises. A diversity of perspectives should be encouraged. We accept workshop proposals that last up to 4 hours.

Submission Information

Workshop proposals must take the form of a short submission (4 to 6 pages, see Call for Papers ICAD or Call for Papers AM for the templates), including the following information:

• Workshop title, abstract and organizers’ contact details
• What is being proposed, the workshop goals and how they are situated in relation to the current body-of-work of the community, and why it is timely and needed
• What are the desired outcomes with an argument on the relevance for AM.ICAD attendees
• A clear presentation of the workshop structure in a physical/on-site format, including the activities, timing, and resources.
• What participants are expected, and what organizers propose for them to do
• Technical setup and space requirements
• Desired duration (2-4 hours)
• Desired number of participants (a range is fine)
• A draft of a short Call for Participation to be posted on the AM.ICAD website to recruit participants for the workshop upon acceptance
• Any other information that will help us support workshop organizers.

Review and Selection Process

Review and selection of workshops will be undertaken by the Workshop Chairs, with help from General and Program Chairs, who will assess the quality and relevance to AM.ICAD community. Following a first notification of acceptance, authors who attend the conference virtually have to complete a technical rehearsal to ensure adequate standards for audio, video, and internet connection.
