We invite you to submit workshop proposals on any topic related to the broad set of research and application areas covered the by SIGCOMM conference and SIG.
SIGCOMM 2012 workshops can take any of the following forms:
- Workshops that publish early results in emerging areas
- Teaching workshops that provide hands-on experience in area of general interest to the SIGCOMM community, e.g., cloud programming, mobile apps, PHY Layer programming, etc.

- Motivation and rationale for the workshop
- For teaching workshops, a draft of the syllabus; otherwise a draft Call For Papers (CFP), as complete as possible
- The workshop deadlines (internal and external)
