Call for Workshop Proposals
International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML-2001)

The ICML-2001 Organizing Committee invites proposals for
workshops to be held at the Eighteenth International
Conference on Machine Learning (ICML-2001).  ICML-2001
workshops will be held on the first day of the conference,
June 28, at Williams College, the scenic site of all
ICML-2001 events.  Workshop proposals should be submitted as
outlined below.

ICML workshops provide organizers and participants with an
opportunity to focus intensively on a specific topic within
machine learning.  Often, workshops concentrate on an
emerging topic of technical interest (e.g., hierarchical
reinforcement learning), a unique area of application for
machine learning technologies (e.g., machine learning for
genetics), or a community-wide issue that deserves
specialized attention (e.g., machine learning and privacy).


Proposals

Workshop proposals should provide sufficient information to
evaluate the quality and importance of the topic, the goals
of the workshop, and the size of the interested community.
Proposals should identify one or more chairs and several
other individuals willing to serve on an organizing
committee and assist with publicity and reviewing.

Proposals should be 2-4 pages and contain at least the
following information:

  - Description: What will the workshop be about?  Why is
    the topic best addressed in an ICML workshop, as
    opposed to a workshop at another conference or papers
    in an ICML technical session?

  - Goals: What do you expect will come out of the workshop?
    How will the workshop change participants' understanding
    of the area?

  - Format: How will the workshop sessions be scheduled?
    How much time will be used for discussion, panel
    discussions, paper presentations, invited talks, or
    other methods for encouraging communication and
    consensus?  Organizers are encouraged to focus on
    mechanisms other than traditional paper presentations
    and to differentiate themselves clearly from typical
    conference sessions.

  - Publicity: How do you intend to publicize the workshop?
    How will you reach the most interested and appropriate
    participants?

  - Potential participants: Who are potential participants
    in the workshop?

  - Organizers: Please include the name, postal address,
    phone number, e-mail address, and webpage of each chair
    and each member of the organizing committee.  In
    addition, indicate the chairs' background in the
    workshop area.
