Workshops in FIS2010 will complement the symposium by providing a forum for active discussions and exchange of ideas focused on cross-domain issues related to the Future Internet. The purpose of the workshops will be to provide an informal setting for attendees, potentially affiliated to different Internet disciplines to discuss scientific and technical issues, share experiences, and to lay the foundations for the establishment of the cross-domain research community which will shape the Future Internet research agenda.

Proposals Submission Guidelines

From a content perspective workshop proposals should comply with the agenda of the main conference and concentrate on topics which are likely to benefit from interactions and information exchange within a focused group of experts from different areas and have a wide range of workshops (full-day, or half-day) covering fundamental research questions for the realization of the next generation of the Internet, bringing together researchers from different disciplines.
Workshop proposals should be no more than 4 pages in length, and must contain the following information:

• The title of the workshop
• A brief abstract of the workshop, including the goals, the scientific and technical issues addressed and the motivation underlying why the topic is of particular interest for the Future Internet community, intended audience, etc.
• The list of topics for which contributions are sought
• The structure of the workshop, including duration (full-day or half-day), sessions, keynotes, etc.
• A list of related workshops or similar events held in the last 3 years if applicable
