We invite proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with OTM 2012. Workshops provide a valuable opportunity for small groups to meet and engage in rich discussions of a topic of common interest.

OTM'12 provides an opportunity to stimulate and facilitate an active exchange, interaction and comparison of new approaches and methods. In fact, the main goal of the OTM 2012 workshops is to stimulate and facilitate an active exchange, interaction and comparison of new approaches and methods.
