The registration fees for workshops will be determined by the organizing committees of SmartWorld 2019, which will provide workshop facilities. Workshops should strictly follow the important dates. The paper submission deadlines could be after that of the main conference to allow workshops to pick up some good papers submitted to the main conference.
