Is that free to attend, only for cost of accommodation cost, or there is a fee?
ReplyDeleteWorkshop registration Fee = £950 GBP.
DeleteAdd £20 GBP for printed proceedings, students are £850 GBP.
do you have to present in order to be able to attend?
ReplyDeleteGenerally, you need to present and/or be invited...
ReplyDeleteThere are 98 accepted papers, and the presenters of those obviously have a guaranteed seat. This fills already half of the room. On earlier occasions the workshop did sell out quickly. The pre-registration serves to have a balanced group of attendees. It avoids that a large group of the same organization takes a chunk of the seats leaving no place for others.
DeleteNot worth attending. All papers will be published for free 3 months after the event. Also, you will not see those many new works, because most of those works are or will be published in peer reviewed journals.
ReplyDelete1) these papers are reviewed and best ones are accepted
Delete2) industry will not bother to publish in journals. It takes time and costs money for them to do so.
3) best part of this workshop is networking and interaction with top experts of the field.
If your main motivation to attend a conference/workshop is to see work that is not published elsewhere, you're missing out a lot. IEEE/SPIE host key conferences and they publish papers after that on their libraries. Getting access to the papers is always easier/cheaper than to attend the actual event. But you will get access only late, and you will miss the opportunity to ask questions, meet people, potential partners, customers, future employees or employers. If you actually look at the program you will find a lot of titles clearly indicating works, not published anywhere before. And I agree with the comment above, that industry is not making a big effort in writing journal papers. So, give it a chance. Otherwise, I've got to say the loss is yours.
DeleteI'm part of the technical committee so I may know better:
Delete1) The acceptance rate is very high, majority of submitted papers get accepted
2) Good companies almost never share their critical progress in tech in conferences or journal papers. If they share, it's basically sometimes report good results for marketing purposes. It's like press release for them. And all the papers will be available 3 months after the event, anyways
3) I'm pretty sure the majority of the attendees in this workshop know each other very well and have each other contact info. Yes, some fresh graduates can join and try make connections, but again not worth attending just for that and pay the hefty price of more than 1000 Euros.
"The acceptance rate is very high, majority of submitted papers get accepted" my abstract must have been horribly written then! Oh well
Deletewith such comments you should resign as TC member and not join the workshop. A new slot for people in the waiting list of participants will free up. When I started working in imagers, first participation to the workshop was an eye opener, I learned a lot! Then I participated to most workshops. I am looking forward to the next one in May.
DeleteIt is always up to the individual to decide if a technical meeting is worthwhile. This workshop started 37 years ago and has been mostly biennial ever since. The purpose of the workshop is the exchange of information and ideas through interaction over several days in a venue that fosters interaction. Unlike most meetings, all meals and activities are covered in the registration fee (hence the higher cost). It has always been filled to capacity, sometimes within hours of opening registration (which was a problem!). Most of the attendees come back year after year. It is well known that to be sure of getting a seat in this limited-attendance workshop you have to submit a paper as part of the exchange of information. We prefer that most attendees, in fact, present a paper to share, but there is only limited time so about half the attendees wind up presenting. The quality of submitted papers is very high, so no surprise that the acceptance rate is also high. The workshop also encourages papers on work-in-progress -- something you won't see at other meetings. Marketing-style talks are strongly discouraged and pretty much ensures you won't be coming back if you give such a paper. Financially, the meeting is organized and operated by volunteers - typically leaders in our community, and registration fees are designed for solvency but not profit. Any proceeds are either put back into the current meeting or put into operating reserves in case of some future calamity (a volcano causes us to cancel and lose hotel prepayment, for example). They also go to discount student participation costs. All the papers presented at the workshop are made available to the community at no cost, and there is no paywall for accessing papers, and no cost to the authors for such open access.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the anonymous comments of the alleged TPC member, if you feel the way you do, why volunteer to serve on the committee? We have no trouble getting volunteers to review papers for IISW. Meanwhile, thank you to the actual members of the 2023 TPC and the conference organizers for your valuable time and service to the community. Looking forward to seeing you in Scotland!
Does the registration fee cover hotel costs or is it an extra amount? If not, what is the rough estimate?
ReplyDeleteI am not directly involved the organization of IISW these days, but the registration fee covers meals and activities but not the hotel room cost. I think the hotel is around 140GBP/night and the pound is very weak these days, so not too bad price-wise. I understand there may be a few buses from Edinburgh to Crieff and return for an extra cost.
Deleteroom 140 GBP/night (single occupancy) including breakfast. 150 GBP/night with double occupancy
