The organizing committee of PCEMS 2024 invites proposals for Workshops to enrich the conference program with focused content on emerging topics that are not specifically covered in the main conference. The workshops aim to enrich the conference program, attract a wider audience, and enhance inclusivity for students and professionals. Workshops at PCEMS 2024 will be held during the conference in both morning and/or afternoon sessions of 3 hours each. Their main emphasis will be on clearly focused and emerging topics that are not specifically covered in the main conference. The workshops may include a mix of regular papers, invited presentations, keynotes and panels, encouraging the participation of attendees in active discussions.
Submitted workshop papers should abide by the PCEMS 2024 paper style, format and length, while their peer-reviewing process should follow the main conference reviewing guidelines if the workshop papers are to be published with the proceeding of PCEMS 2024. Similar to the main conference, there must be an author of each accepted workshop paper presenting it in person.
