Proposer Guidelines The proposed format of the workshop should be innovative and interesting to the participants. Following are some examples of what may happen in workshops:

• A traditional workshop with paper presentations, followed by forum discussions and a shared poster for presentation during the Workshops session in the main conference

• An interactive event, where participants work together on experimenting with or evaluating an artifact, and make a video of the design or evaluation work highlights for presentation during the Workshops session in the main conference

• A design workshop with focus on artefacts, with a gallery / showroom exhibition in the main conference

Other, innovative formats of the workshop will also be of interest.

Workshops should have a minimum of 8 participants and a maximum of 30 participants. Workshops that do not reach the minimum number of participants may be subject to cancellation.

A free workshop registration is granted to one of the workshop organizers if more than 10 participants are duly registered to the workshop. Workshops will take place on 28 and 29 August 2023, immediately before the main conference.

Workshop Extended Abstract proposals should be formatted according to Springer LNCS format. Authors should consult Springer’s authors’ guidelines and use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or for Word, for the preparation of their papers. Springer’s proceedings LaTeX templates are also available in Overleaf.

Please submit your proposal by February 27 (23:59, anywhere on earth) using the conference submission system as one PDF document, with two separate sections:

Workshop Extended Abstract (6 pages in Springer format): this will be used for reviewing, for the programme and be published in the official conference proceedings. It should cover the overall concept of the workshop including key organisers, objectives, theme/topic, target audience, and expected outcomes.

Workshop organization (1 page in any format): this will be internal for the reviewing process. It should cover the workshop duration and organisation (i.e. how will the organisers facilitate the workshop).

Publicising and Participating in a Workshop Each accepted workshop will have its own call for participation and website. A schedule for paper submissions to each specific workshop will be advertised on due time. How to submit a paper to a workshop will be decided by the workshop organizers (submission deadline will be no later than 1st June 2023).

The publication of papers accepted to the workshop will be decided, managed and edited by the workshop organisers.
