Data Science Institute (DSI) Workshop 2019: Call for session proposals due April 1st

Dear Colleagues,

The Data Science Institute (DSI) and the University of California will hold the 2019 Data Science Workshop on July 23-24, 2019, at Garré Vineyard & Winery in Livermore, California. Session proposals are due April 1, 2019. General registration will open around May 1, 2019.

The Program Committee invites session proposals from data science researchers with applications including climate and energy security, predictive biology, space situational awareness, non-proliferation, advanced manufacturing and material science, and more (to see previous talks and posters, see the schedule from last year here). Sessions will be one hour long and are encouraged to include participants from a variety of the UC campuses and UC National Laboratories (LBL, LANL, LLNL). Please note that priority will be given to those sessions with participants from multiple universities and/or national labs.

Examples of Session Types

  • Standard Presentations: Two to four speakers present on a common theme. May include a moderator to steer discussion and/or introduce speakers and theme.
  • Roundtable Discussion: Three or four participants make very brief remarks, then discuss a topic together with Workshop session attendees. Includes a moderator to steer discussion.
  • Lightning Talks: May or may not include slides or images. Presentations may be from 3 to 10 minutes long, depending on the number of presenters.
  • Propose Your Own

Proposal Submission

Please submit your proposal to datascience-workshop@llnl.gov for the 2019 Data Science Workshop by April 1, 2019. When submitting proposals, please include a session title, 500-word (at maximum) abstract, names and contact information for session chair/organizer and speakers/participants, the type of session format being proposed and any A/V or special consideration requests for your session.

All proposals will be considered in the context of the overall Workshop structure and time-slot availability. The proposal's session chair will be responsible for organizing, coordinating and executing their session. They will be the primary POC to work with the Program Committee to ensure success.

Late or incomplete submissions will not be accepted.

Please the Program Committee at datascience-workshop@llnl.gov with any questions or concerns. We look forward to seeing you at the 2019 Data Science Workshop.

Thank you.
