Each workshop will be expected to accept at least 6 papers. Each special session will be expected to accept 4-6 full-length papers. Workshop/special session organizers are responsible for forming program committees, circulating call for papers, organizing submissions and reviews as well as planning the final programs. ATC 2018 workshop/special session co-chairs will assist the workshop/special session organizers in organizing workshops/special sessions and ensure their quality and success. The registration fees for workshops/special sessions will be determined by the organizing committees of ATC 2018, which will provide workshop/special session facilities.
