7. If the workshop is too small (i.e. does not attract enough submissions) the Digital Tools & Uses Congress Organizing Committee may propose to merge that workshop with another. So we encourage workshop organizers to attract a large community. In extreme situations we may also cancel workshops if there are insufficient number of submissions, while we may consider the paper for the main tracks.
