• Workshop submissions must identify one (and only one) session coordinator. Co-coordinators are not an option.
• Workshop submissions may include up to three (3) additional workshop faculty members.
• Every workshop faculty member must have an updated ScholarOne account before they are added to a workshop submission.
• NOTE: submitting authors: please make sure you inform people before you add them to your submission. Each will receive a submission confirmation and it helps if they know your plan ahead of time.

Submitting authors MUST select one category for each submission. Submitters should decide whether the unique and central feature of a submission is related to its methodology, topic, or other content and then select the category that best reflects the work. Workshop categories also determine its assignment to review committees. The program committee does its best to schedule sessions within the same category in order to avoid conflicts within concurrent sessions, but this is not always possible.
