*CfP Workshops at WebSci17*

*Key notes:*


   - February 10, 2017 - Workshop proposal submissions
   - February 24, 2017 - Notification of workshop acceptance
   - Proposals should be submitted in pdf format via email to
   websci17ws at googlegroups.com.

We call for discussion around the ways in which the Web as a platform, as
well as Web Science, can help address global challenges. To this end we
invite workshop proposals for the 2017 edition of the ACM WebSci
conference, on topics such as, but not limited to:


- The Web and geography

- The mobile revolution and Web Science

- Web Science and social good

- Digital inequalities on the Web

- The Internet in recent Middle-Eastern history

- Accessibility, affordability and awareness in poorly connected areas

- Crime on the Web and security

- Hoaxes and fake news on the Web


We encourage proposals on the above topics, and likewise welcome
submissions on already-established areas of focus for ACM WebSci such as:


- Social machines, collective intelligence, and collaborative production

- The architecture and philosophy of the Web

- Health and well-being online

- Humanities, arts, and culture on the Web

- Web Science and the Internet of Things

- Web economics, social entrepreneurship, and innovation

- Analysis of online social and information networks, social media analyses


Workshops can have a mixture of panel presentations and invited speakers,
but presentations should reflect the diversity of approaches that
characterise the multidisciplinary nature of Web Science.


Workshop submission


Workshop proposals should contain the following information:


- Title summarising the tutorial goals or workshop theme

- Name and affiliations of the organizers

- Details of the organising/program committee, including names and
institutional affiliations and whether they have accepted to participate

- Max two-page description about the relevance, motivation and goals of the
workshop, as well as pointers to past editions, if any

- Schedule of sessions, panels, and talks, including if it is a half- or
full-day workshop

- Names of potential invited speakers with an indication of whether they
have accepted the preliminary invitation

- Selection criteria for papers to be presented if the workshop invites
submissions


It is the prerogative of organisers to decide whether to have an open call
for participants and papers, or arrange panels by invitation only.
Proposals should include as many details as possible about sessions,
speakers, and talks: they will be evaluated by their coherence and ability
to address the stated goals.


It is the responsibility of the organisers to advertise their event, and
constitute a program committee to review and select papers and manage the
review process if they wish to include paper presentations in their
workshop.


If successful, we advise proposals to have a website describing the event
(within three weeks of acceptance). Workshop websites will be linked to
from the main conference site.



Proposals should be submitted in pdf format via email to
websci17ws at googlegroups.com.


Publication of workshop submissions


Submissions to the proposed workshops may be included in the WebSci
proceedings, or workshop organizers may choose to not publish their
submissions. If the workshop proceedings are to be included in the
conference proceedings then the camera-ready deadline (see below) must be
adhered too. Submissions must follow the formatting guidelines of
conference papers.


Workshop proposal review


The Web Science program chairs will review each submission and select those
with the highest scores on originality, timeliness and relevance of the
proposed topic, its interdisciplinarity, rigour of the review process,
coherence with the conference aims, and potential to attract a large
audience.


Workshop chairs


Fabrizio Silvestri, Facebook UK - London (fsilvestri at fb.com) and Matthew
