[fca-list] ICFCA 2023 - Call for Workshops and Tutorials

================================================================================ ICFCA 2023 17th International Conference on Formal Concept Analysis July 17-21, 2023, Kassel, Germany Web: https://www.kde.cs.uni-kassel.de/icfca2023/ Mail: icfca2023(a)lists.cs.uni-kassel.de ================================================================================ # Call for Workshops and Tutorials The ICFCA 2023 Organizing Committee invites proposals for workshops/tutorials to be held on the first day of the conference (July 17, 2023), which will take place in Kassel, Germany. We invite proposals for both **full- and half-day workshops/tutorial** in current and emerging topics in (or related to) Formal Concept Analysis. The workshop and tutorials provide an opportunity to discuss novel topics in an interactive atmosphere. They can concentrate in-depth on research topics, but can also be devoted to application issues. ICFCA 2023 will be a hybrid conference with a strong emphasis on on-site interaction. Therefore all contributors are required to present their work locally in Kassel. # Duration & format We welcome both full- and half-day workshop/tutorial proposals. We would like to encourage proposers to aim for a program that is both varied and interesting. For workshops, especially where the format is concerned, we would like you to think about ways of going beyond the usual list of presentations of accepted papers. Another way of extending the usual format is to include a specific challenge problem that can be addressed by the workshop participants, with a dedicated challenge session in the workshop program. Note, however, that the challenge should be only one of the components of the workshop, targeting a problem which is specific to the workshop topic(s). # Combined Tutorial & Workshop Especially for a relatively novel but rapidly maturing topic, giving an introduction of the state-of-the-art may go beyond the scope of an invited presentation. In this case, a half day tutorial followed by a half day workshop could be a good format. # Guidelines for proposals When proposing a workshop or a tutorial, please provide (at least) the following information: - A brief description of - the specific issues that will be addressed, - the reasons why the workshop/tutorial is of interest in these times, - the main research areas involved, - and what the workshop/tutorial will add to the conference (e.g., do you expect papers of a theme that would not fit the main conference?). - For workshops, - a draft of the Call for Papers, including information on accepted formats (e.g., regular papers, extended abstracts, oral-only presentations of relevant recently published or submitted contributions, etc.) - and expected format of the workshop (e.g., invited talks, presentations, poster sessions, panel discussions, challenge sessions, or other ideas for ensuring an interactive atmosphere). - In the case of a combined tutorial-workshop, please clearly indicate the format. - Any special requirements regarding logistics (e.g., poster stands, audio equipment), if applicable. # Submission For applying or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Program Chairs Domingo López Rodríguez and Dominik Dürrschnabel: icfca2023(a)lists.cs.uni-kassel.de. We are looking forward to your proposals. # Tutorial/Workshop proposal deadline: Friday, February 3, 2023
