RecSys 2012: CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
===================================================

6th ACM International Conference on Recommender Systems (RecSys 2012)

September 9 - 13, 2012, Dublin, Ireland
http://recsys.acm.org/2012/

Submission Deadline: March 15, 2012

===================================================
CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
===================================================

RecSys 2012 is pleased to invite proposals for workshops to be held in
conjunction with the conference. The goal of the workshops is to provide
additional venues for presenting research on topics of interest and an
informal forum to discuss research questions and challenges.

We encourage proposals for a wide range of workshops, including but not
limited to:

- Working group meetings organized around a specific problem; such
workshops may wish to ask participants to submit a short white paper or
position statement.
- One day mini-conferences on specialized topics; such workshops may have
their own paper submission and review processes.
- Mini-competitions or challenges around selected topics with individual
or team participation.

We welcome proposals for half-day and full-day workshops.

We encourage you to contact us in advance (jill.freyne at csiro.au,
pearl.pu at epfl.ch) with workshop ideas; we will work with prospective
workshop organizers to help them design successful proposals. We actively
encourage both researchers and industry practitioners to submit workshop
proposals.
