Workshops
The purpose of workshops is to provide a more interactive and focused platform for presenting and discussing new and emerging ideas.
The format of paper presentations may include oral presentations and poster presentations.
Workshops can be scheduled for 1 day or 2 days.
All accepted papers will be published on the workshop proceedings book, under an ISBN reference, and on CD-ROM support.

Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit workshop proposals to the ICSOFT General Workshops Chairs.
Submission should be made by e-mail (ASCII/PS/PDF/DOC/DOCX/RTF formats are accepted) using "ICSOFT 2010 Workshop Proposal Submission" as the email subject.

Please include the following information in the proposal:

4. Areas of Interest (Topics for paper submission)
5. Program Committee members (prospective members; it is not required a complete list)
6. Advertising (How do you plan to advertise your workshop)
7. Potential invited speakers (if possible, indicate an outstanding person in the area)
8. Collaboration (International associations that you may consider contacting in order to get “in collaboration” status)

Special Sessions
Special sessions are very small and specialized events to be held during the conference as a set of oral and poster presentations that are highly specialized in some particular theme or consisting of the works of some particular international project. The goal of special sessions (minimum 4 papers; maximum 9) is to provide a focused discussion on innovative topics. Each prospective organizer is invited to submit a proposal explaining the targeted topic's novelty/importance and listing the contributing authors and their contributions.
All accepted papers will be published on the conference proceedings book, under an ISBN reference, and on CD-ROM support.

If you are interested in organizing a special session please contact the ICSOFT secretariat.
