[DMANET] DISC: Call for workshops and tutorials (deadline end of may)

DISC 2022 will be held this year in Augusta, Georgia, USA between the
*24th to the 28th of October*
(http://www.disc-conference.org/wp/disc2022/ ).

The main conference will take place between the 25th to the 27th.

*There are two workshop and tutorial days: 24th and the 28th.*

We intend to follow the "workshops template" from DISC 2019
(http://www.disc-conference.org/wp/disc2019/workshops/), that is, there
will be up to 3-4 workshops each day (depending on the predicted number
of participants) where we synchronize the parallel talks as much as
possible so that "cross-workshops" participants will not miss any of the
talks. This also guarantees shared coffee and lunch breaks.

The organization of DISC will encourage students to participate in the
workshops, e.g., allotting a quota of free-of-charge local students, and
waiving workshop registration for students that participate in the main
conference. DISC will also waive the registration fees of a limited
number of speakers per workshop/tutorial.

We are interested in topics which are related to distributed-computing
and systems on one hand, but also in topics that have the potential of
extending the scope of what the community sees as "distributed
computing" on the other hand (please see the scope of DISC in
http://www.disc-conference.org/wp/disc2022/ and check out the list of
last's year workshops in
http://www.disc-conference.org/wp/disc2021/workshops/ ).

Please email me (Yannic Maus, yannic.maus@ist.tugraz.at) a short
proposal *by the end of May* with the following details:

1. Workshop/tutorial name and an optional acronym (please state whether
it is a workshop,a tutorial, or any other format)
2. Names, affiliations, and email addresses of the organizers. Please
specify who is the point of contact.
3. Short description of the workshop's topic and its relevance to the
DISC community.
4. Date preference: please state if you are OK with being scheduled to
the 24th or the 28th, or that you are OK with both options.
5. Two names of committed speakers.
6. A skeleton schedule of the workshop (see an example in here:
https://parsys.lri.fr/CELLS/#page_program)
7. A link to a website of a past meeting of your workshop.
8. Predicted number of participants.
9. In case the physical meeting is canceled, would you like to have a
virtual workshop?

Thank you,
Yannic Maus
