Call for Submissions
Workshop Proposals
Scope and Goals
ICSE Workshops provide a forum for a group of typically 25 to 40
participants to exchange opinions on topics in software engineering research
and practice. Workshop proposals will be reviewed by the ICSE 2008 Workshop
Committee according to a set of criteria such as the potential to advance
the state of software engineering research and practice, the organizers'
commitment to stimulate discussion at the workshop, and the organizers'
experience and ability to lead a successful workshop. ICSE 2008 Workshops
may be either one or two days long and may be held before or after the main
conference. Participation in ICSE workshops is typically open. ICSE
workshops frequently include a call for papers to produce workshop
proceedings to be published in the ACM and IEEE Digital Libraries.
Proposal Submission
Proposals must not exceed
four pages in length, must follow the ICSE 2008 Workshop Proposal Template (doc, pdf) and must include the following information in
the order specified:
full contact information for all organizers of
the workshop;
identify
a main contact for the workshop;
the
desired length of the workshop (i.e., one or two days);
desired
workshop date(s) and scheduling constraints; as usual workshops will
be scheduled before and after the main ICSE 2008 conference;
a
one-page outline of the theme and goals of the workshop including a
brief abstract (less than 175 words) intended for the ICSE 2008
workshop web pages;
a
statement discussing the relevance to the field of software
engineering;
plans
for generating and stimulating discussion at the workshop;
the
desired minimum and maximum number of workshop participants;
links
for the preliminary web site of the workshop and call for papers;
a
list of program committee members including proposed and committed
members;
the
participant solicitation and selection process including whether the
workshop will be open or closed;
plans
for the workshop proceedings including an ideal number of papers and
the maximum number of pages per paper imposed by the workshop (i.e.,
7 pages);
plans
for electronic submission of papers; ICSE 2008 has arranged for accepted workshops to be able to use , if so desired, CyberChairPRO (details will be announced)
a
statement and justification of the expected number of participants
to help determine whether the workshop is financially feasible - in
case of previously held workshops, the number of submissions and
registered attendees as well as the web site must be included;
equipment,
room capacity, and other logistics constraints; and
- a
brief description of each organizer's background, including relevant
past experience in organizing conferences and workshops.
We strongly encourage you to communicate the topic
of your workshop to the workshop co-chairs by e-mail as early as
possible to be able to recognize and resolve topic conflicts and
overlaps before the proposal submission deadline.
Proposals must be submitted electronically via CyberChairPRO. The deadline for tutorial proposal submission is 12 October 2007.
Review and Evaluation Criteria
Workshop proposals will be reviewed by the ICSE
2008 Workshop Committee and evaluated according to the following
criteria:
The potential to advance the state of software
engineering research and practice
The
organizer's commitment to stimulate discussion at the workshop
The
organizer's experience and ability to lead a successful workshop
Timeliness
and expected interest in the workshop topics
- The
balance and synergy between all ICSE 2008 events
Acceptance
Each accepted workshop will have two (2) pages for
a summary in the conference proceedings: this summary must be
submitted by the ICSE 2008 camera-ready copy deadline (21 Feb 2008). Upon
notification of acceptance, all authors of accepted workshops will be
asked to complete an ACM Copyright form and will receive further
instructions for preparing their camera ready versions according to
the ICSE 2008 Format and Submission Guidelines.
Accepted workshops must adhere to the common
deadlines listed below for submission of workshop papers,
notification of acceptance of workshop papers, and preparation of the
workshop proceedings. Workshop organizers must limit the length of
any requested workshop papers to seven (7) pages and must follow the
ICSE 2008 Format and Submission Guidelines.
Registration
ICSE 2008 will not pay for registration, travel,
or other arrangements for workshop organizers or any of their invited
speakers or guests. All participants, including workshop organizers,
keynote speakers, and invited guests, must register for the workshop.
