Proposals should be made through a 3-page extended abstract inclusive of the brief bibliography. It should say whether it is intended for one of the workshops, and spell out in clear language the research problem, the data used, the analytical method, the results achieved and their broader significance. Submissions are to be made on EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=chronos12) no later than October 12, 2015. All proposals will be assessed anonymously by two members of the scientific committee, and the decisions will be announced in January 2016.
