Workshops provide an effective forum for attendees with common interests and are a great community-building opportunity. Workshops can vary in program length, size, and format depending on their specific objectives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>All Workshops will be held before the main conference on October 12 and 13, 2025. The main conference takes place on October 14-16, 2025.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like any other UbiComp\/ISWC 2025 track, workshops will be in-person only. We are soliciting workshop proposals on any topic of relevance to Ubiquitous Computing and\/or Wearable Computing. There are many ways workshops can enrich a conference, and we aim to accommodate diverse opportunities for the community to engage. This includes, but is not limited to<\/span>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Workshops that provide a forum to share advances in an area of special interest to the community. Such workshops would typically solicit original research contributions and involve a peer-review process for submitted papers but would be open to broader attendance. The ACM Digital Library (DL) and the Adjunct Proceedings can include all accepted workshop papers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Workshops that aim to gather a group of researchers for a focused activity, such as hands-on prototyping or joint development of a cross-disciplinary research agenda. Such workshops typically involve a selection process for attendance but not necessarily a solicitation of materials for publication.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We encourage workshop organisers to consider a juried\/lightweight and short review process for contributions submitted to their workshops. Workshops are not intended to be mini-conferences, and we would like organisers to develop proposals that can include and engage community members.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having a large PC for workshop papers is probably <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">unnecessary<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but encouraging senior researchers and experts to attend the workshop is strongly recommended. Individual presentations are normal at the workshops, but we also encourage proposals with other activities, such as having substantial discussion time to engage workshop participants. We also encourage organisers to run an open workshop. Conference participants can sign up and attend without submitting a workshop paper. This allows workshops to draw more people from the community interested in the subject matter. Organisers may wish to consider alternatives to full paper submission, including posters and position papers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"--fontsize: 32; line-height: 1.3;\" data-fontsize=\"32\" data-lineheight=\"41.6px\">Summary of Key Dates<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); color: var(--body_typography-color); font-family: var(--body_typography-font-family); font-size: var(--body_typography-font-size); font-style: var(--body_typography-font-style,normal); font-weight: var(--body_typography-font-weight); letter-spacing: var(--body_typography-letter-spacing);\"><b><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">April 30<\/span>, 2025<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Submission deadline for Workshop proposals<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); color: var(--body_typography-color); font-family: var(--body_typography-font-family); font-size: var(--body_typography-font-size); font-style: var(--body_typography-font-style,normal); letter-spacing: var(--body_typography-letter-spacing);\"><b><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">May 2<\/span>, 2025<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Notification of accepted proposal<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); color: var(--body_typography-color); font-family: var(--body_typography-font-family); font-size: var(--body_typography-font-size); font-style: var(--body_typography-font-style,normal); font-weight: var(--body_typography-font-weight); letter-spacing: var(--body_typography-letter-spacing);\"><b><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">May 5<\/span>, 2025<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Distribution of all accepted workshop CFPs<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>May 25, 2025<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Deadline for the camera-ready version of the workshop description (from the proposal) for inclusion in the ACM DL<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); color: var(--body_typography-color); font-family: var(--body_typography-font-family); font-size: var(--body_typography-font-size); font-style: var(--body_typography-font-style,normal); letter-spacing: var(--body_typography-letter-spacing);\"><b><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">July 31<\/span>, 2025<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Deadline for camera-ready version of workshop papers to be included in the ACM DL<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>October 12-13, 2025<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Workshops in Espoo, Finland<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"--fontsize: 32; line-height: 1.3;\" data-fontsize=\"32\" data-lineheight=\"41.6px\">Pre-Proposal Submissions Inquiries<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Should you wish to discuss ideas for a workshop proposal before the submission deadline, feel free to contact the Chairs of the Workshops Program at <a href=\"mailto:workshops-2025@ubicomp.org\">workshops-2025@ubicomp.org<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"--fontsize: 32; line-height: 1.3;\" data-fontsize=\"32\" data-lineheight=\"41.6px\">Workshop Proposal Content<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The proposal should be prepared as a document of no more than four pages (including any reference) following the 2-column template following the IMWUT <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dl.acm.org\/journal\/imwut\/author-guidelines\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">instructions.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The proposal must describe:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The topic, rationale, and objectives for the workshop<\/li>\n<li>The organisers\u2019 backgrounds<\/li>\n<li>An estimate of expected attendance (and whether participation will be limited)<\/li>\n<li>A detailed plan for conducting the workshop (including any plans for pre-workshop preparation and\/or post-workshop follow-up).<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Workshop submission must also include a text-based version of the CFP (Call for Papers or Call for Participation) as an appendix (not counted in the 4-page limit).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some guiding questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the objective of the Workshop, and how is it achieved?<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Why should this workshop be a part of UbiComp\/ISWC 2025?<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">How will it make an impact to the community?<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">What types of submissions are you looking for, and how will the papers be selected?<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">What activities are planned during the workshop?<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">What is the planned schedule and proposed duration (e.g., 1-day or half-day workshop)?<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Do you want to opt out of running an open workshop?
