WORKSHOPS
A limited number of workshops is foreseen. Proposals will be reviewed by the Organizing Committee.
Pre-conference workshops will be organized on 18th August 2008, and post-conference workshops on 21st August 2008. A workshop in the context of this conference is a half or a full day event that brings together researchers, professionals and industrial practitioners for paper presentations and discussions in workshop-like settings. Workshops should focus on fostering discussion and avoid being presentation only; at least half the time should be devoted to discussion. The precise organization is flexible and the workshop organizers are completely free in the organization of the workshop.
Workshop participants and paper authors are expected to register for the conference. TKE 2008 will not pay for registration, travel, or other arrangements for workshop organizers or any of their invited guests. All participants, including workshop organizers, must register.
The workshops will be announced on the TKE 2008 web site. Proceedings will be printed for each workshop.
You are invited to submit a workshop proposal as part of the TKE 2008 Conference. Workshop proposals should be e-mailed to tke2008@cbs.dk by 1st December 2007. The subject line should be: TKE 2008 WORKSHOP PROPOSAL.

Proposals for workshops should be no longer than three pages, and include:
• The title of the workshop.
• A brief description of the specific issues that the workshop will address, suitable for proposal evaluation and early posting on the web site.
• The reasons why the workshop is of interest this time.
• The names, postal addresses, phone and fax numbers and email addresses of the workshop organizing committee.
• A brief description of each organizer’s background.
• The name of the member of the workshop organizing committee designated as the contact person.

The workshop proposers will be responsible for the organizational aspects (e.g. workshop call preparation and distribution, review of papers, notification of acceptance, assembling of the workshop proceedings, etc.). Workshops are expected to be financially self-supporting. The conference organizers will establish workshop registration rates so as to provide the room, audio-visual equipment, Internet access, snacks for breaks, and the workshop proceedings.
TKE 2008 EXHIBITION
Within the framework of the TKE Conference an exhibition will be organized which will present systems, services, institutions, projects and publications in the fields discussed. Further details about the exhibition, including information about fees, will be circulated together with the announcement of workshops and posted on the TKE 2008 web site.
