==================================================
ICALP 2021 Second Call for Workshops and Tutorials
==================================================
*** It has now been decided that ICALP 2021 and its workshops will be online-only, hosted by the University of Glasgow, UK. ***

As the decision for online workshops has now been confirmed, we are sending out a second call for those that want to take advantage of the logistics of this format.

ICALP 2021 (http://easyconferences.eu/icalp2021/) will take place on the 13th - 16th of July 2021 in Glasgow, United Kingdom. The conference will be preceded by one day of workshops, held on July 12th. We invite proposals for workshops (or tutorials) affiliated with ICALP 2021 on all topics covered by ICALP, as well as other areas of theoretical computer science.

Proposals should be submitted no later than
  
  ***  February 19th, 2021 ***

by sending an email to the workshop selection committee (details at the end of the call). You should expect notification on the acceptance of your proposal within one week.

A workshop or tutorial proposal submission should consist of:

 - workshop's name and URL (if already available)

 - workshop's organisers together with their email addresses and web pages;
 
 - short description of the area covered by the workshop and the motivation behind it;

 - expected number of participants (if available, please include the data of previous years);

 - planned format of the event.

As for the format, a standard option is a full one-day workshop consisting of invited talks by leading experts and of shorter contributed talks, either directly invited by the organisers or selected among submissions. Deviations from this standard are also warmly welcome, including a shorter or a longer time span than a full day, or other elements of the schedule like open problem sessions, discussion panels, or working sessions. 

If you plan to have invited speakers, please specify their expected number and, if possible, tentative names. If you plan a call for papers or for contributed talks followed by a selection procedure, the submission date should be scheduled after ICALP 2021 notification (April 28, 2021), while the notification should take place before the early registration deadline. In your submission please include details on the schedule, planned procedure of selecting papers and/or contributed talks. If you plan to have published proceedings of your workshop, please provide the name of the publisher. Please be advised that ICALP 2021 is not able to provide any financial support for publishing workshop proceedings.
