     We invite senior academics, scientists and professionals to consider submitting a proposal for an invited session / workshop to be held in conjunction with CENTERIS / ProjMAN / HCist 2015.
 
     An invited session consists of a presentation session of five to six papers on a specific conference topic, organized as a 90 or 120 minutes session.
     A workshop consists of presentation sessions for at least ten papers, as a half day workshop or one-day mini conference.
     Each invited session/workshop should provide a forum to address a particular topic on information systems, project management or health and social care information systems and technologies, in which participants discuss and interact in order to jointly learn and explore a specific subject.
     The invited session/workshop chair is expected to take the responsibility for her/his sessions, gathering papers from a range of research /professional expertise around the world (no more than 35% of papers from the same country), managing the overall process of the workshop conduction (call for papers, review of submitted papers, workshop activities during the conference). A minimum number of five papers (accepted after double-blind peer review) is required for the invited session/workshop realization.
 
     Researchers who would like to organise an invited session/workshop on topics falling within the scope of the conferences are invited to submit a proposal for consideration, including the following items: The title of the invited/ workshop session; Objectives; A paragraph describing the theme of the session and initial list of topics; Preliminary program committee; Preliminary forecast on possible number of submissions and accepted papers; Workshop chair(s); A short biography (of around 200 words) of the proponent.

     A submission form is available at http://goo.gl/forms/NG93goNweG
     Please submit your workshop / invited session by no later than December 15.
 
     Decisions on acceptance will be taken and announced within two weeks from the submission deadline.
