Workshops

Workshops provide an opportunity for a more focused and much more interactive engagement between the organizers and the participants around a specific topic than is relevant to modeling, estimation, and controls. Workshops are typically held on the Sunday before the opening ceremony of the conference and can be for either a half-day or a full-day.

Workshops should be designed to be introductory for those who are new to the topic, or it can be at an advanced level for those who are already working in the field. Proposals for workshops should include:

  • A title and a brief description of the workshop.
  • The names and affiliations of the organizers.
  • A list of speakers and their topics.
  • The intended audience and the expected learning outcomes.
  • A tentative schedule and the preferred duration (half-day or full-day).
