ICDIM 2008 (IEEE Sponsored) will host a number of workshops addressing different areas related to digital information management that complement the main ICDIM 2008 conference.
We invite workshop organizers to send proposals as instructed below.

Workshops are intended to serve as an intensive collaborative forum for exchanging late breaking ideas and theories in an evolutionary stage. We encourage prospective workshop organizers to submit proposals for highly-interactive workshops focusing on either in-depth analysis or broad-ranging approaches to areas related to digital information management.
