For this year's workshop we accept two types of submissions.
Position paper:
We solicit thought-provoking position style papers that will be presented
and used for discussion during the workshop. Criteria for selection
will be based on the clarity of the paper and the appropriateness of
the topic for a group discussion. Note we strongly encourage tool users
to submit papers that discuss what they would like to see the tool designers
deliver in their tools, as well as position papers from tool designers.
Position papers will be available in advance of the workshop and attendees
will be encouraged to browse them beforehand to improve the discussion.
Position papers should have a maximum of 6 pages in IEEE proceedings
format.
Tool demonstrations :
Interested tool designers should submit a description of their tool and how it can be used to enhance understanding. Submissions should have a maximum of 2 pages with additional 2 pages with the description of the demonstration and screen captures if needed). The number of tools demonstrated will be limited
(by the size of the room). Criteria for selection will be on the maturity of the tool (for example, can the participants try it), innovative aspects and the quality of the description of the tool and the tasks it supports. We are particularly interested in software visualization tools that assist in understanding the static and dynamic aspects of the software during software maintenance and development.
