Small number of participants to permit exhaustive discussion: + + 2. Off-the-record proceedings to allow discussion of incomplete and + preliminary results: + + 3. Selected mature participants to obviate the need for tutorial and + introductory material: + + 4. A carefully defined topic to keep the discussion in focus. + + Off-The-Record Meetings + + To permit discussion of incomplete and tentative results, information + at the workshop cannot be published. Slides or blackboards may not + be photographed so the workshop does not constitute disclosure in the + sense of the Patent Law. After the meeting, participants are + encouraged to publish significant contributions. + + Selected Participants + + By limiting the workshop to a small number of active workers, mature + scientists knowledgeable in the specific area under discussion, + formal papers can be displaced by brief opening statements followed + by an open discussion. + + + + +Crocker [Page 3] + +RFC 169 Computer Networks 27 May 1971 + + + General Information on IEEE Workshops + Page 2. + + Publication of Results + + One measure of the success of a workshop is the resulting publication + of research. While the workshop itself is closed, it should serve as + a stimulus to generate a series of high-quality papers for subsequent + open meetings. + + Session Organization + + The workshop is divided into four (4) scheduled sessions, each + centered on one phase of the problem to be discussed. Normally, the + workshop chairman will assign to each session chairman the task of + clarifying the subsidiary questions to be discussed in his session. + Each session is divided into "talks." The speakers are designated as + discussion leaders. Most participants at the workshop will be + discussion leaders at one of the sessions. The session chairman will + attempt to provide each speaker with the time he requests (within + limits). Normally, five to ten minutes will be allowed for formal + presentation, with 15 to 30 minutes reserved for discussion and + debate. In addition, the chairman may include a general discussion + period at the end of the session. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +Crocker [Page 4] + -- cgit v1.2.3
