================================================================================

DEBT 2024 is looking to advance state-of-the-art debuggers and debugging techniques for modern software.
We welcome researchers from all related areas, including dynamic and static debugging techniques, techniques aimed at helping with the hard task of diagnosing the root cause of bugs, delta debugging, novel visualization techniques for debugging programs, etc.

The workshop aims to gather the community and foster discussion from different perspectives. That is why we seek submissions in the form of papers as well as talks and tool demonstrations. The workshop is a venue for all approaches to debugging.

Call for Contributions
--------------------------------

This workshop welcomes the presentation of new ideas, reflections, emerging problems as well as more mature work. We plan to schedule enough time between presentations to foster discussions of work. To this end, we invite three kinds of submissions:

* Technical papers on mature work, up to 12 pages.
* Work-in-progress papers on ideas in early stages, from 2 to 6 pages.
* Talks and tool demonstrations, 1-page abstract.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following ones:

* Debugging techniques, from static to dynamic techniques.
* Innovative visualisation techniques.
* Techniques targeted specific programming models and execution models (e.g. concurrent and parallel programming, microservices,
distributed ledgers, web, etc. ) or hardware (e.g. debugging micro-controllers, mobile devices, Big Data applications, etc.).
* Case studies and evaluation of such techniques, e.g. user studies on visualisation tools, debuggers, etc.
* Surveys, taxonomies of bugs and bug patterns, and current practices/uses of debugging approaches.

Papers must be submitted electronically via hotcrp: https://debt24.hotcrp.com/
Authors should use the official ACM Master article template,
which can be obtained from the ACM Proceedings Template pages.

As the first edition, accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library, though authors will be able to opt out of this publication, if desired.

AUTHORS TAKE NOTE:
The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of your conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work.
