http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwsc2011

Submission Format

Both full research and experience papers limited to 7 pages and short position papers limited to 2 pages are sought. Submissions must adhere to the ACM two-column proceedings format: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates

Submission Categories

Full 7-page papers are expected to present novel research ideas and open issues, significant experiences or empirical studies, or important viewpoints on the field. Short 2-page position papers are those designed to raise new ideas and issues for which the research is not yet ready for a full paper, or to introduce a tool demonstration. Position papers should emphasize originality and potential to stimulate active discussion at the workshop, or alternatively introduce a relevant practical tool to be demonstrated. A tool demonstration session will be organized if there are enough tools submitted.

Both kinds of papers will be formally reviewed by at least two members of the workshop program committee. They must be relevant to the goals of the workshop and hold the potential for lively discussion and debate. Accepted research and position papers will be published in the workshop proceedings as part of the ICSE Companion Volume. Authors of selected papers will be invited to present their work during the workshop as a formal presentation and take part in an open panel discussion of the topics and issues raised.
