</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">The ACM Cloud and Autonomic Computing Conference (CAC 2013) will be held at Miami Beach, Florida, USA,
July 29-August 2, 2013. The organizers of CAC 2013 call for proposals for workshops to be held with CAC 2013.
The workshops will run on July 29 (tentatively), preceding the main conference. The workshops aim to explore
special topics or emerging research themes and provide international forums for scientists and engineers to exchange
and share their experiences, new ideas, and research results.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPS'; font-weight: 700">Submission Guidelines and Publication:
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">Organizers may structure workshops as they see fit, possibly including invited talks, panel discussions, presentations
of work in progress, fully peer-reviewed papers, or some combination. Workshops could be scheduled for a half day
or a full day, depending on interest, space constraints, and organizer preference. Organizers should design
workshops for approximately 20-40 participants, to balance impact and effective discussion. The proceedings of the
workshops program will be published, as the CAC 2013 main conference, by ACM.
