Call for Workshop Proposals

We would like to invite researchers to submit workshop proposals to PETRA 2023. Each workshop should have a focused topic that would involve the participants in a hands-on way to collaborate and build new technologies. Workshop proposals should be related to one of the conference research areas of interest mentioned below.

The proposals submission deadline is December 23, 2022. Please send your proposals or any questions you have to the Workshop Co-chairs, Dr. Maher Abujelala (maher.abujelala@mavs.uta.edu), Dr. Ashwin Ramesh Babu (ashwin.rameshbabu@mavs.uta.edu) and Dr. Akilesh Rajavenkatanarayanan (akilesh.rajavenkatanarayanan@mavs.uta.edu). The acceptance notifications will be announced on January 10, 2023. There is no specific format for the proposals (Proposal Example), but it should be 1-3 pages long and must include:
