To forward this goal, we are inviting researchers to submit papers to present at a virtual conference workshop and also inviting people to register for the workshop.

The registration form only collects the defined responses and free-form responses you provide to the questions asked.

The results of the paper submission form will be shared publicly in the following manner. Accepted papers will be shared publicly during Wiki Workshop for the purpose of open analysis, research, and study.
