IEEE BlackSeaCom 2023 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 of particular interest to the wireless community. Each workshop should include a mix of regular papers, invited presentations and panels that encourage the participation of attendees in active discussions.

Priority will be given to proposals that not only address an exciting topic but also promise a creative format likely to generate lively interactions and foster new ideas. Examples include bringing practitioners and researchers together, as well as facilitating multi-disciplinary discussions that can lead to high impact and transformative research. All accepted workshops should implement peer-reviews of submitted papers. Accepted and presented papers will appear in the Conference Proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore. Notification of acceptance and camera-ready due dates must match the corresponding due dates of the regular conference papers.
