IEEE iSCI 2024 warmly invites researchers, scientists, and industrial engineers involved in the smart cities and informatization fields to organize workshops that tackle new and emerging challenges. The workshops and symposia should be focused on relevant topics, providing vibrant opportunities for researchers to exchange their experiences and achievements. Each workshop is envisioned to be cohesive, timely, and enriching while maintaining distinction from the traditional technical paper program.

Workshop organizers will bear full responsibility for soliciting the call for papers, forming the technical program committee to review and select papers as well as planning the workshop program.

To propose a Workshop for IEEE iSCI 2024, you MUST adhere to the following guidelines:

* Full Title (and possible abbreviation) of the workshop
* Concise description (not exceeding 1 A4 page) highlighting the significance and timeliness of the workshop, and relevance to IEEE iSCI 2024
* Keywords elucidating the workshop's topic
* If applicable, the workshop history
* Planned format (full-day/half-day) and expected paper submission volume
* Advertisement plan for the call for papers, paper selection plan, and any intention towards organizing journal special issues (please specify which journal)
* Short biography (up to 250 words) for each organizer. IEEE iSCI 2024 Workshops will be held strictly onsite, with no provisions for remote/hybrid participation. Therefore indicate clearly which (any/all) organizers will commit towards physically attending and conducting the workshop in-person
* A tentative list of program committee members
