The PROPOR 2014 organizing committee invites proposals for the Workshops
to be held in conjunction with the main conference in S‹o Carlos.

The PROPOR-2014 organizing committee invites proposals for workshops to
be held in conjunction with the conference. The overall purpose of a
workshop is to provide participants with the opportunity to present and
discuss novel research ideas on active and emerging topics of
computational processing of Portuguese.

Workshops can take on a number of forms including (but not limited to)
being organized around emerging research areas, challenge problems and
industrial applications. The organizers of approved workshops are
required to announce the workshop and call for papers, gather
submissions, conduct the reviewing process and decide upon the final
workshop program. They must also prepare a set of workshop proceedings
to be distributed with the registration materials at the conference or
in an electronic version. They may choose to form organizing or program
committees for assistance in these tasks.

Important Dates
April 7, 2014:  Workshop proposals due (extended)
April 14, 2014:  Notification of decision
May 14, 2014:  Workshop web pages available and linked to the main
               site. Workshop CFP published.
October 6-8, 2014: PROPOR 2014 Workshops (electronic proceedings due for
        online publication)

Proposal Details
Proposals should be submitted via e-mail to propor at propor.org. They
should be no more than three pages in length and must include the
following:
* Description of the workshop: title, abstract, objectives, goals,
  relevance, and expected outcome
* Motivation why a PROPOR workshop on this topic is needed
* Description of the target audience
* List of core committed program committee members (at least 2 to 3
  members)
* Preliminary list of invited speakers (if any)
* For workshops previously held at PROPOR or other conferences details
  on venue, attendance and number of submissions from previous years.
* For new workshops a list of potential attendees/submissions and/or a
  justification of the expected attendees and submissions.
* Relevant experience of the organizing committee
* Duration of the workshop (full day or half day)
* Contact information (address, email, and phone) for all organizers
* Designation of a contact person

The workshop organizers are responsible for:
* Creating and distributing a call-for-papers, call-for-participation
  and any other relevant advertising. The calls should make it clear
  that at least one author of any accepted paper must attend the event
  and that papers will be withdrawn if no such participation is secured
  with the payment of the workshop dues. The call should clearly
  describe the review and selection process. Finally, the calls must be
  framed to encourage as broad a participation as possible.
* Creating and publishing (in a timely manner) a web site with all the
  relevant information pertaining to the workshop.
* Provide an extended abstract for the conference program
* Review and select papers submitted
* Schedule the presentations within the workshop
* It should be noted that the conference organization does not budget
  for free registration, accommodation or travel expenses for the
  workshop organizers or their invited speakers. The workshop organizers
  should therefore secure any source of funding / sponsorship deemed
  necessary for their invited speakers.
* Prepare electronic proceedings volumes by mid-September 2014.
