VLDB conferences have become a celebrity seat for co-located workshops 
on topics related to data management. Continuing this tradition, VLDB 
2006, to be held in Seoul, Korea, from September 12 to 15, 2006, plans 
to feature a set of co-located workshops. Proposals for workshops are 
hereby invited and should be submitted to the VLDB 2006 Workshop 
co-Chairs by February 7, 2006.

<< General Information >>

workshop.
* A fixed amount ($100 for 1 day, $150 for 1.5 day, and $180 for 2 days) 
will be charged per workshop participant which covers workshop room and 
facilities, coffee service, lunch (one per full day), and informal 
proceedings.
* Each workshop is expected to have at least 20 paid registrants. 
Otherwise, VLDB 2006 organizers reserve the right to cancel the workshop.
* Formal proceedings are to be handled by the individual workshop 
organizers. VLDB 2006 organizers will provide informal proceedings which 
are bound photocopies of accepted papers. It is the individual workshop 
organizers' responsibility to collect and assemble the papers in the 
right format for both the formal and the informal proceedings, and also 
to post accepted papers on a Web site.
* The organizers of individual workshops are required to closely 
cooperate with the VLDB 2006 organizers in finalizing all details of 
operations. Workshops are encouraged to have their own local chairs.
