Workshop Facility and Logistics
The workshop will be held in-person in Singapore during the SCA25 Technical Conference, which will be held in conjunction with the SupercomputingAsia 2025 (SCA25) event. SCA25 will prepare one physical room for each accepted workshop, and the capacity of each room is approximately 50 seats. The time slot for each workshop is approximately 210 min (3.5 hrs). Workshop duration can be discussed further with Workshop Chairs if needed. A projector and screen will be available in each workshop room. The final decision about the facility and logistics will be announced in the beginning nearer to the conference date.
Workshop Organiser’s Tasks
Each accepted organizer is responsible on the successful workshop management including the following tasks:
Create a website of the Workshop to show the place, the time and the program of the Workshop.
Send call for papers to appropriate mailing lists.
Manage full reviewing process of submitted papers.
Attend the workshop in person and manage the Workshop.
The publication of the papers and materials of the Workshop should be arranged by the Workshop organiser.
Publications (if any)
If Workshop Organisers are interested to publish in ACM-related publication (i.e. ACM ICPS), you will need to satisfy the following conditions:
Workshop papers must be peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers.
Workshop organizers need to form their own programme committee (PC), and the list of PC members are to be listed on the workshop’s public webpage.
Workshops need to organize and prepare their own system for reviewing submissions (e.g. EasyChair, Linklings, etc.).
Workshop organizers must collect all camera-ready papers from the respective workshop and send them to the Proceedings Chair of SCA25 Technical Conference by 24 January 2025 (AoE).
If your Workshop would like to pursue this course, please include the following items in your proposal:
Previous submissions and acceptance at ACM-related workshops (if applicable)
Latest list of program committee (name, email and affiliation)
Information About Fees
All Workshop participants/attendees will have to register as a delegate under the SCA25 Conference registration, which will enable them to access the respective Workshops well as the SCA25 conference activities. There is no option of a “Workshop Only” registration. The SCA25 organizers will not be able to provide any financial support such as registration fee for the conference or travel for the workshop organizers.
