Introduction

The IEEE DySPAN 2017 conference will be held in Baltimore, MD, USA, March 6-9, 2017. In addition to the main conference's technical program, the conference will include a set of workshops. The goal of the workshops is to explore emerging research topics, and to provide a forum for authors to present early research results on these topics. We would like to have a limited number of workshops, with a high quality program dominated by contributed papers. Contributions to the workshops would be for presenting novel ideas in a less formal setting, possibly more focused on a particular topic than the regular conference sessions do. We seek proposals from individuals and teams interested in organizing strong workshops. The dates for paper submission, notification and camera-ready version would preferably be coordinated across the selected workshops. Papers submitted to the individual workshops will likely be due in December 2016 (the notification of acceptance date of the DySPAN main conference is December 19, 2016), with the camera-ready version due in the beginning of March 2017.
