The organizing committee of SocialCom2012 solicits workshop/tutorial/panel proposals. The events should facilitate an active and constructive exchange on current issues of interest. They should allow members of the community to compare and discuss approaches, methods, and concepts about topics addressed by the SocialCom 2012 conference (see further details on the conference homepage). The workshop papers will be included in the proceedings of the main conference in a separate volume.

Workshop proposals for SocialCom-2012 should detail:

• The title, goals and duration of the workshop;
• The specific topics that will be addressed by the workshop;
• How relevant and significant this workshop is to the conference, including to whom it would be of interest (and why) and the expected range of number of participants;
• A draft workshop call for papers with: The names, affiliations, postal address, phone and fax numbers, email addresses of the workshop organizers, who must be recognized experts in the related topics and from multiple institutions;
• one of the organizers should be identified as primary contact;
• The paper selection process;
• A list of potential Program Committee members, with their affiliations.

Workshop/tutorial/panel proposals must be in English, should not exceed 3 pages and should be emailed in plain ASCII text to Alessandro.Vinciarelli@glasgow.ac.uk, A.Nijholt@utwente.nl and justinzzhan@gmail.com. Workshop proposals will be evaluated on various criteria, including the quality and level of detail of the proposal, and the balance and capacity of the conference workshop program.
