“You are cordially invited to participate to the workshop either as a presenter or as someone simply wishing to learn more about this topic and, perhaps, join the discussion as a member of the audience. Participation is possible either by attending the workshop in person, or by participating via the Internet. For presenters (science researchers or writers) we are looking for short imaginative fictional stories (prototypes) of no more than 12 pages (and presentations of 20 minutes) based on recent scientific publications (fact or fiction), which would act as motivation (or discussion) or how science research might be directed. Your fictional stories (prototypes) should include a short discussion (no more than 2 pages) of your published work (and how your research relates to your story, including references to your research). The fictional stories (prototypes) should conclude with a short summary (half to one page, say) that provides an overall comment on your effort to use your fictional prototype as a means to motivate your furture research. References should be included at the end of the paper. All fictional stories (prototypes) accepted will be published by IOS Press. The format of the papers should follow the IOS publication guidelines and be submitted via the CS’11 worshop management system. All Science Fiction Prototype stories submitted will be considered by the reviewers for the award of a free registration and a prize (described elsewhere)”
