# 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
