Time plan for the Workshop
The workshop will take place on Friday, September 1st 2017 from 09:00 AM till 12:15 PM and is divided into three sessions:
- Session 1: Invited keynote speeches: After an introduction into the workshop, the first part of the workshop will be dedicated to invited keynote speeches (3 presentations from researchers active in the area).
- Session 2: Speed dating and brainstorming wall: In the second part, workshop participants will introduce each other in pairs in just one minute. We used this format in many other workshops and found it in a good instrument to foster networking. After that, we will brainstorm about hot topics, challenges, problems, etc. in the broader area of the workshop.
- Session 3: Group discussions and summary presentations: The third part will be group discussions. Participants will be grouped into teams of ca. 5 persons. Each team will be dealing with one particular topic based on the results from the brainstorming session (prepared by workshop organizers, e.g., trust, hand-over, ethics, etc.). In each team, a moderator will be appointed and a member of the organizing team will be present as well. At the end of the group session, the outcome of the group works will be presented to the auditorium. Each team will have a few minutes to convey the main findings.
Workshop location: Pestana Palace Hotel, Lisbon, Portugal - room T2. For more information, see RO-MAN 2017 website at http://www.ro-man2017.org or the program available here: RO-MAN 2017 Friday program
