Workshops’ format

Regular workshops should focus on a specific scientific subject in the scope of IEEE CH 2025 and specialize to complement the main conference areas. Each regular workshop should be chaired by at least two researchers/principal investigators preferably from institutions located in different countries, and include an international Program Committee with recognized researchers in the workshop’s areas.

Project workshops are intended to promote the dissemination of results from international (such as EU HE, ESF, NSF) and national funded projects in cyber-security and resilience; both preliminary (for ongoing) and final (for finished) project results are sought. The workshop should be chaired by at least two researchers/principal investigators preferably from different projects, and include an international Program Committee with recognized researchers in the workshop’s areas.

Workshops’ organization

The Organizing Committee of each workshop will be responsible for:

• Producing, based on IEEE CH template, and distributing the workshop’s call for papers (CFP);
• Coordinating the review and selection of the papers submitted to the workshop, as workshop chairs (on the paper management platform to be used by the conference);
• Delivering the final versions of the papers accepted for the workshop in accordance with the guidelines and deadlines defined by the IEEE CH organizers;
• Coordinating and chairing the workshop sessions at the conference.

IEEE CH organizers reserve the right to cancel a workshop if deadlines are missed or the number of registered attendees is too low to support the costs associated with the workshop; at least 10 submitted and 5 accepted papers are expected by each workshop that is held under IEEE CH.

Workshops’ proposal contents

The selection of the workshops will be performed by the IEEE CH Workshops Chairs on the basis of workshop proposals that should contain the following information:

• Workshop’s acronym and full title;
• Description of workshop’s scientific scope and how the conference is specialized/complemented;
• List of (about 10–12) topics of interest to include in the workshop’s CFP;
• Planned workshop’s duration (half-day or full-day);
• Full name, affiliation, country and e-mail of workshop’s committee members;
• Workshop’s technical program committee proposal (names and affiliations);
• Description of workshop’s publicity and promotion plan;
• Project details (only for project workshops).

Workshop proposals should be submitted electronically (in PDF format) in English emanuele.bellini@ieee.org.  In addition, the following documents need to be prepared based on the templates provided:

1. The ch_workshop_committee with committee members’ details; and
2. The word document with the single-page workshop’s CFP.

The conference (including workshops) proceedings will be published by IEEE and will be included in IEEE Xplore. Detailed information about the paper submission and guidelines to authors is available at the instructions page of the IEEE CSR website.
