As in previous years, we plan to hold one day of workshops before the start of the main conference. We would like to distinguish between tutorials and workshops. Tutorials are held by a domain expert and introduce a current topic of interest to symposium attendees. Workshops provide an informal setting in which to develop visions and exchange ideas in a specialized field of interest.

Proposals are due on Sunday, March 30, 2014 .
