Why should you apply?
- For companies: the workshop offers you one week to collaborate with a team of dedicated researchers from various ICT disciplines on the problems in your proposed case. The goal is to come to a concrete practical solution or new horizons with new insights, e.g. a spin-off or a prototype implementation of a new method.
- For researchers: the workshop offers you one week to explore your research ideas in collaboration with company partners. You will have a team of dedicated researchers from various ICT-disciplines to work with. The goal is to come to concrete ideas which can be used for e.g. a scientific paper or a proposal to be submitted to NWO or FP9.
Application procedure
You can submit a case proposal by filling in the application sheet (.docx template can be downloaded here, please save as pdf before submitting) and submitting it to https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ictwi2019. A total of five challenges will be selected by the organizing committee, with leading experts from different fields of ICT. The main selection criteria are:
- Scientific relevance/challenge - Is the challenge scientifically interesting, particularly also from an ICT point of view?
- Urgency - Is the challenge urgent?
- Feasibility - Is it likely that a solution or significant steps towards a solution to the challenge can be obtained within the timeframe of one week?
- Commitment - Can you commit to your involvement as stipulated below?
In order to increase the chances of being selected, it is recommended that your proposed case study involves both the participation of a senior academic scientist and a company representative. The Steering Committee and workshop chairs can help companies to connect with academic researcher(s) who have the right expertise related to the case study.
Outline of workshop programme
The workshop starts on Monday morning with a plenary presentation of the case studies by a company representative. In the afternoon the teams split and start to work on the individual cases. There will be daily sessions where each team shares its provisional findings. On Friday, each team presents their final results to the entire group. In addition, there will be informal evening sessions which provide ample opportunity to meet with the participants of the other teams and to exchange ideas.
