Abstract

The 34th Annual SAC meeting will be held in April 2019 in Limassol, Cyprus,<br>and is hosted by the University of Cyprus&#046; The conference Organizing<br>Committee solicits proposals for organizing and hosting tracks&#046; Prospective<br>track chairs should submit an up to two&#8211;page description for organizing a<br>track, which should include at least the following items:<br>1) The proposed title for the track with a description of its aims, topics it<br>will cover, and rationale for having such a track in SAC&#046; This rationale<br>should refer to any related conference events that are held regularly and<br>why the proposed track differs from them or complements them&#046; The<br>proposed track should not be overly general but also not overly specialized,<br>thus being able to attract a wide audience of people sharing similar<br>interests&#046; Proposals from industry are also encouraged&#046; Despite its name,<br>SAC also welcomes topics of mostly theoretical nature, provided there is<br>clear practical potential in applying the results of such work&#046;<br>2) A short description of the activities the track chair(s) will undertake<br>upon acceptance of the proposal, to disseminate the call&#8211;for&#8211;papers for the<br>track, and to manage the review process&#046; (Current Track Chairs guideline<br>document is posted on the SAC 2019 website)&#046;<br>3) A short CV of the prospective track chair(s) with reference to research<br>interests and publication record directly related to the themes of the<br>proposed track, and any previous experience of involvement in the<br>organization of similar events (in the interest of brevity, reference to a<br>personal web page where such information can be found will be sufficient)&#046;<br>All proposals will be reviewed by the Program Committee using the criteria<br>described above&#046; The Committee reserves the right to: (1) accept a proposal<br>as is, (2) require modifications before acceptance, (3) recommend merging<br>of similar proposals with a considerable overlap in the topics addressed (in<br>this case the track chairs of the different proposals will be asked to form a<br>single track), (4) reject a proposal&#046; Upon acceptance of a proposal, the track<br>chairs will be notified of their responsibilities in managing the affairs of their<br>track; as such responsibilities are defined by both the ACM and SAC<br>conference rules&#046; The Committee reserves the rights to cancel a track at<br>any time if these responsibilities are not addressed adequately by the track<br>chair(s)&#046;<br>
