<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">We invite you to submit workshop proposals on any topic related to the broad set of research and application areas covered by the ACM CoNEXT conference. We welcome workshops on topics
in network research, practice, and education. Topics that represent new research areas and directions are particularly welcome.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">If the workshop is accepted, the proposers agree to recruit a Program Committee for selecting papers, recruit invited speakers if applicable, and advertise the workshop in order to attract
papers and attendees. The workshop chairs reserve the right to cancel workshops that do not receive a sufficient number of submissions from their open call. Furthermore, it is expected that the majority of accepted papers will originate from authors who are
not members of the workshop's Technical Program Committee (TPC) and will be submitted in response to the open call. While invited papers may be included in the final program, they should constitute a minority of the accepted submissions. As an integral part
of the conference, the workshops will be fully incorporated into CoNEXT's logistical and budget planning process. Workshop papers - unless opted-out - will be published in the same set of proceedings as the conference's short papers, and will be available
on the ACM Digital Library. Workshop papers will not appear as part of the new journal-based proceedings (PACMNET).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
