Workshop proposals should contain at least the following information:

• The name of the workshop and its duration (half or full day)
• A brief description of the motivation and rationale for the workshop, including the reasons why the workshop is of interest to the broad CPS/IoT community
• A draft version of the CFP, as complete as possible, including workshop deadlines
• The name, affiliation, contact info, and short bio of each organizer (note that the complete organizing committee should be included and later changes are not allowed)
• A tentative list of prospective TPC members, including their names and affiliations; please specify whether their potential participation has been already secured or not

• The expected number of submissions and the expected number of participants
• A description of the plans for publicity
• In case of a recurring workshop, the proposal should include a description of the history of the workshop (including the number of submitted and accepted papers, and the attendee count), as well as a description of the changes w.r.t. previous editions, concerning format (if any) and composition of the TPC

Proposals will be evaluated based on the attractiveness and relevance of the topics to CPS-IoT Week, the past performance of the workshop (if applicable), and the qualifications of the organizers. The CPS-IoT Week organizers reserve the right to cancel a workshop if too few participants are registered.
Submissions should be in PDF format, and made via email to Dr. Wan Du (wdu3@ucmerced.edu) with the heading "Proposal to 2023CPS-IoT Week Workshop: your name”.

Tutorial proposals should include:

• The title of the tutorial and its duration (half or full day)
• A brief description of the motivation and rationale for the tutorial, including the reasons why it is of interest to the broad CPS/IoT community, and the potential target audience
• The name, affiliation, contact info, and short bio of each organizer (note that the complete organizing team should be included and later changes are not allowed)
• The planned format and technical requirements in detail

Tutorials should be of interest to a wide audience in CPS and IoT; they should instruct attendees about specific topics, teach the use of new systems or tools, or provide the necessary background to understand key technical advances in CPS- and IoT-related topics. Proposals will be evaluated based on the general interests to the CPS-IoT Week participants, quality of the proposal, and qualifications of the presenters. If accepted, the tutorial organizers are required to provide a beta website that will contain links of the tutorial materials to the chairs one month prior to the conference, with preliminary content that will be used in calls for participation. The CPS-IoT Week organizers reserve the right to cancel a tutorial if too few attendees are registered.

Submissions should be in PDF format (max. 2 pages), and made via email to Christian Dietrich (christian.dietrich@tuhh.de) with the heading "Proposal to 2023CPS-IoT Week Tutorials: your name”

The competitions provide a unique opportunity to bring researchers and practitioners from different communities together to share their experiences in an interactive atmosphere and to foster collaboration for new and innovative projects. They also provide excellent opportunities to student researchers to showcase their skill on cutting-edge research topics.

Competition proposals should include:

• The title of the tutorial and its duration (half or full day)
• Title of the competition
• A brief description of the competition, including what task is under evaluation and why the competition is of interest to the CPS-IoT community.
• Tell us how the competition will be run:
1. Expected duration, and format of the competition
2. Include eligibility and competition categories, if applicable
3. An overview (or draft) of the rules and assessment criteria
• Request for the Organizing Committee for facilities including required space (area in square feet and minimum height) along with power, networking, audio-visual, and other requirements.
