Call for Workshop Proposals

In addition to exciting technical sessions, special sessions, tutorials, industry panels and exhibitions, IEEE TENCON 2019 will feature a series of half and full‐day workshops and invites the submission of workshop proposals. The aim of the conference workshops is to emphasize emerging topics not specifically covered in the main sessions. Workshops should highlight current topics related to technical and business issues relevant to the conference, and should include a mix of regular papers, invited presentations and panels that encourage the participation of attendees in active discussion.
