The proposers are requested to implement the proposed plan only after hearing about the final acceptance notification of the proposed workshop. Submission procedure: Each workshop proposal can be up to 6 pages (11pt Times New Roman, single line spacing, 1 page margins on all sides, PDF format). The proposers are requested to address all the details listed above in their proposal.
