ECSA 2010 Call for Workshop Proposals

The 4th European Conference on Software Architecture Organizing Committee invites proposal for workshops to be held in conjunction with the main conference in Copenhagen Denmark, August, 23-26, 2010.

Workshops offer an excellent opportunity to meet people and explore emerging topics in the field of software architecture. Preferable, an ECSA workshop should focus on a specific topic of interest in the field, ranging from theoretical foundations to practical applications. The idea of workshops is to foster lively discussion rather than having formal presentation, and encourage collaborations among participants.

Workshop organizers should submit their proposals (in a single pdf file) directly to the workshop chairs via workshops-ecsa2010@cs.kuleuven.be

Workshop proposals should include the following information (with a maximum length of 2 pages):

1. The title and a description of the workshop, including a clear description of the topic and a motivation why the topic is of interest for the software architecture community.
2. A draft schedule of the workshop with a duration of either a half day or a full day. The schedule should highlight the interactive nature of the proposed workshop.
3. An indication of the expected number of papers/attendees attracted for the workshop.
4. The complete contact information of the workshop organizers, incl. a brief biography and an overview of previous experiences with organizing workshops.

The workshop chairs will select workshops based on the scientific/technical interest of the topics, the clarity of the proposal in addressing the requested information, the innovativeness of workshop topics, and the capacity of the conference workshop program.

The workshop organizers are responsible for:

* Set up a website for the workshop
* Advertise the workshop and solicit submissions
* Provide a 2-page description of the workshop for inclusion in the ECSA 2010 proceedings
* Handle the paper submission and reviewing process and collect the camera-ready copies
* Coordinate the workshop sessions and stimulate discussion
* Report on the workshop discussion and main achievements during a wrap-up plenary discussion

Important Dates

* Deadline for workshop proposals: March 1, 2010
* Notification of acceptance: March 8, 2010
* Workshops: August 23, 2010
