Call for Panel Proposals

TPDL 2011 is planning to host a small number of highly focused panel discussions. Panels should be lively, controversial, and provoke discussion on a specific topic of interest to the community. Panel sessions should not consist of paper presentations, but should have plenty of discussion engaging the audience. A two-page abstract of the tutorial will be included in the proceedings. The proceedings will be published as a volume of Springer's Lecture Notes on Computer Science (LNCS) series.

Proposal Submission

Proposals should be 2-3 pages in length and should contain:

• The topic, if possible formulated as a provocative question
• The issues to be discussed, including a short listing of pro and con arguments
• Short biographies of the moderator and prospective panelists
• Any special requirements

Panel proposals in PDF or plain ASCII format must be sent via email by February 14, 2011 to the panel chair, Johan Oomen ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) with "TPDL 2011 Panel" in the subject field. The submissions will undergo peer review and will be selected by the Panel Programme Committee.
