during 14th to 17th of October 2019. Its organizing committee invites
proposals for workshops/special sessions to be held in conjunction with the

topics and to provide a forum for authors to present early research results
on these topics. We would like to have a number of workshops, with a high
quality program dominated by contributed papers. We expect that workshops
will run a rigorous review process, to make sure programs will be of
high-quality. Organizers may structure workshops/tutorials as they see fit,
possibly including invited talks, panel discussions, presentations of work
in progress, peer-reviewed papers, demonstrations, or some combination.
