-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: Special Issue of Security and Communication Networks on Characterization and Detection of Fakes, Spammers, and Bots in Social and Communication Networks Date: Wed, 31 Oct 2018 11:22:49 +0100 From: Stefano Cresci <stefano.cresci(a)iit.cnr.it> To: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org [apologies if you receive multiple copies] Security and Communication Networks Special Issue on Characterization and Detection of Fakes, Spammers, and Bots in Social and Communication Networks Deadline for submission: January 18, 2019 Publication date: June, 2019 This special issue focuses on authentication techniques, access control mechanisms, network traffic analysis, and novel detection techniques for malicious users/nodes in social/communication networks. Online social networks, and in general, communication networks, are a crucial component in the public sphere, enhancing communications, fostering discussions, and influencing the public perception for a myriad of issues. However, social and communication networks have become the ideal stage for the proliferation of fictitious and malicious accounts, including bots and botnets. Efficient detection of such malicious nodes in social and communication networks has thus become one of the most pressing contemporary challenges. Particular emphasis should be given to the design of flexible and scalable techniques capable of dealing with different types of malicious nodes in large-scale analyses. We also encourage studies assessing the consequences of malicious actions. Finally, novel approaches to the collection and annotation of large ground-truth datasets are also welcomed. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following: - Authentication techniques to discriminate between legitimate and malicious nodes - Access control mechanisms that prevent data disclosure hosted in social and communication networks to possible bots - Machine learning-based detection techniques for malicious nodes - Network analysis techniques for characterization and detection of malicious nodes - Online behavioral modeling for the detection of anomalous behaviors - Techniques for detecting groups of synchronized and coordinated malicious nodes - Techniques for detecting evolving/evading malicious nodes Guest Editors: - Maurizio Tesconi (m.tesconi(a)iit.cnr.it), IIT-CNR, Pisa, Italy - Stefano Cresci (s.cresci(a)iit.cnr.it), IIT-CNR, Pisa, Italy - Roberto Di Pietro (rdipietro(a)hbku.edu.qa), Hamad Bin Khalifa University, Doha, Qatar - Mueen Abdullah (mueen(a)unm.edu), University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, USA More information: https://www.hindawi.com/journals/scn/si/985904/cfp/ -- *Stefano Cresci* Institute of Informatics and Telematics (IIT) National Research Council (CNR) Via Giuseppe Moruzzi, 1 56124 Pisa (Italy) Phone: *+39 050 315 8272* Mobile: *+39 328 1330773* Skype: *mystic_ste* Web:* http://www.iit.cnr.it/stefano.cresci <http://www.iit.cnr.it/stefano.cresci>* Twitter: *@s_cresci <https://twitter.com/s_cresci>* _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [EMNet] EMNet - Special Issue in IMM - INTERFIRM NETWORKS AND INNOVATION Date: Wed, 31 Oct 2018 10:20:31 +0100 From: Josef Windsperger <josef.windsperger(a)univie.ac.at> Reply-To: josef.windsperger(a)univie.ac.at To: emnet(a)lists.univie.ac.at Dear colleagues, we announce the call for papers for a special issue on “Interfirm Networks and Innovation” in INDUSTRIAL MARKETING MANAGEMENT. Deadline for submission: March 31st 2019 Guest editors Gerard Cliquet (gerard.cliquet(a)univ-rennes1.fr), Université de Rennes, France George Hendrikse (ghendrikse(a)rsm.nl), Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands Marijana Sreckovic (marijana.sreckovic(a)tuwien.ac.at), TU Wien, Austria Josef Windsperger (josef.windsperger(a)univie.ac.at), University of Vienna, Austria Muhammad Zafar Yaqub, (zafar.yaqub(a)yahoo.com), Department of Business Administration, King Abulaziz University, Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Overview and Purpose of the special issue In today’s dynamic, complex and interconnected environments, business networks in its various forms (e.g. franchising, retail and service chains, cooperatives, financial networks, joint ventures, strategic alliances, licensing, clusters, public-private partnerships) are becoming increasingly important in helping firms improve their competitive position through an enhanced access to innovation, knowledge, complementary resources and capabilities otherwise not available to them (Koch and Windsperger, 2017). In addition, driven by increased performance pressures in unpredictable environments, firms embedded in networks are increasingly moving from co-operators to collaborators and value co-creators in innovative ways (Lusch, Vargo, & Gustafsson, 2016). This special issue aims to address the need for a broader understanding of how does innovation and creativity augment the (re) structuring and functioning of these interfirm networks while they strive for a sustained performance under the premise of a complex, dynamic, knowledge-intensive, digital and sharing economy. Today firms are vigorously transforming their strategies with the aim of actively shaping and changing their highly uncertain market environments. These effectuation processes (Sarasvathy, 2001), where firms are (creatively) reconfiguring their value chains and actively disrupting existing business models for innovation and sustained competitive advantage, influence business network structures and create new network forms, such as the network-centric organization, which identifies the interorganizational network as the primary source of value creation (Aarikka-Stenroos and Rittala, 2017; Forkmann, Henneberg, & Mitrega, 2018; Pagani and Pardo, 2017). The development of organizational capabilities, such as network capabilities, to create value leads to an improved performance (Kohtamäki, Partanen, Parida and Wincent, 2013). In addition to new network forms, firms are creating new markets for their innovations, formed through alliances and collaborative strategies, as a mode of reducing or eliminating uncertainty or entry barriers. In that context, the globalized digital economy is reinforcing this network effect, by increasingly shaping interconnected and borderless markets and business, where the need for adaptive and innovative business models as well as new and flexible network forms is becoming more important than ever. The potential for innovation has been increased since digital capabilities of products and services enable firms to combine resources in unique ways across the traditional industry boundaries. Supported by technological advancements, big data availability, social media and other digital platforms, companies though could benefit from increased market opportunities but do as well have to face surmounting market uncertainties. This environment requires companies to have fast, efficient, innovative and very well-integrated (collaborative) routines and processes, providing a platform of flexibility to respond to market changes swiftly, accurately and above all profitably. Digital technologies offer broad opportunities for re-organizing the interaction among firms especially when they seek a continuous creative (re) configuration of their collaboration in order to acquire the much needed flexibility and quick reaction and response capacities to better adapt to business challenges stemming from uncertainty. This special issue calls for papers that would help us better understand the interrelationship between business networks and innovation & creativity. We welcome theoretical, conceptual, empirical and case study papers from all areas in economics and management of networks (franchising, retail and service chains, cooperatives, financial networks, joint ventures, strategic alliances, licensing, clusters, public-private partnerships and new network forms in digital economy), that develop and apply different theoretical perspectives and shed new empirical insights on the interrelationship and/or reciprocal interaction between business networks and innovation & creativity. More precisely, 1) how collaborations drives innovations? 2) How does the innovative/creative (re) configuration of collaborative structural arrangements leads to the emergence of new organizational forms, for enhanced sustainability? Appropriate topics for the special issue may include, but are not limited to the following: Technological innovation and network forms Technological innovations have an incremental or disruptive nature, where incremental innovations include small improvements to existing products, services, processes, whereas disruptive innovations (specifically through digital technologies) destruct existing value chains and business models. What are the effects of disruptive technological innovations on interfirm networks? Does technological innovation create new network forms? What kind of interfirm networks are being created in new digital environments? Business networks and the creation of innovation Network relationships are moving from cooperation to collaboration and value co-creation entities. Therefore, the locus of value creation and the organizational form is shifting from individual firms towards interfirm networks, which encompass a firm’s relationships to suppliers, customers, competitors, or other stakeholders across boundaries of industries or countries. In that context firms are becoming co-creators of innovation in the network. How do inter-organisational network structures influence the creation of innovation? What kind of strategies, capabilities, business models are necessary in interfirm networks for the generation of innovation? How do firms in the networks maintain the creation of innovation? What kind of new network forms are generating innovation? Theoretical perspectives on interfirm networks and innovation New theoretical perspectives will enhance our understanding of the interrelationship between networks and innovation. Which insights can be provided from the different fields, such as organization theory, strategic management perspectives (resource-based theory, organizational capability theory, knowledge-based theory, real option theory, stakeholder theory), evolutionary theory and organizational economics (transaction cost theory, principal-agent theory, property rights theory), and industrial marketing management perspectives (Industrial Network Approach, markets-as-networks approach, service-dominant logic perspective)? We will give preference to empirical papers—both qualitative and quantitative—although theoretical papers that examine fundamental issues in, or offer comprehensive frameworks of, ‘interfirm networks and innovation’ also are welcomed. As Industrial Marketing Management is widely read by an academic and business audience, all submissions should include implications for practitioners. Preparation and submission of paper and review process Papers submitted must not have been published, accepted for publication, or presently be under consideration for publication elsewhere. Submissions should be about 6,000-8,000 words in length. Copies should be uploaded on Industrial Marketing Management’s homepage through the EVISE system. You need to upload your paper using the dropdown box for the special issue on “Interfirm Networks and Innovation”. For guidelines, visit http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/505720/authori…. Papers not complying with the notes for contributors (cf. homepage) or poorly written will be desk rejected. Suitable papers will be subjected to a double-blind review; hence, authors must not identify themselves in the body of their paper.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP for ECIS 2019: Social and Ethical Implications of ICT Use Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2018 17:46:31 +0000 From: Wenninger, Helena <h.wenninger(a)lancaster.ac.uk> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CFP for ECIS 2019: Social and Ethical Implications of ICT Use Social and Ethical Implications of ICT Use http://ecis2019.eu/programme/research-tracks/social-and-ethical-implication… Short Track Description Recent years have witnessed a mounting integration of information and communication technology (ICT) in all areas of our lives, transforming the way we work, study, share, play, socialize, and live together as a society. Despite the many personal, educational, and work benefits offered by ICT, its use raises a variety of social and ethical concerns (like technology addiction, cyberbullying, eroded personal relationships, influenced elections, online fraud, Internet vigilantism, invasion of privacy, and infringement of intellectual property right - to mention just a few). The objective of this track is to develop theoretical insight into and a practical understanding on topics and issues that address the potential social and ethical implications of ICT use, with focus on the various unfavourable aspects associated with ICT use. The track is open to all methodological approaches. We invite both full research and research in progress papers. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: [*] * Societal impact of current or emerging technologies or technological trends [*] * Unethical uses of ICTs in elections, organisations, marketing etc. [*] * Cyberbullying, online harassment, online trolling, and Internet judges [*] * Work stress, overload, addiction, financial victimization, and illegitimate surveillance [*] * Reputation and credibility issues in ICT-based applications [*] * Responsible ICTs innovation [*] * ICT-related unemployment and deskilling [*] * Employee responsibility and autonomy of organizational use of ICTs [*] * The role of ICT in social inclusion/exclusion and educational (in)equality [*] * Strategies and interventions for addressing the societal consequences of ICT use [*] * Incorporating societal concerns in ICT planning and governance [*] * Implications of a digital society Publishing Opportunities in Leading Journals High quality and relevant papers from this track will be selected for fast-tracked development towards Internet Research (http://www.emeraldinsight.com/loi/intr). Selected papers will need to expand incontent and length in line with the requirements for standard research articles published in the journal. Although the track co-chairs are committed to guiding the selected papers towards final publication, further reviews may be needed before final publication decision can be made. Internet Research (IntR) is an international and refereed journal that is indexed and abstracted in major databases (e.g., SSCI, SCI, ABI/INFORM Global). The topics published in IntR are broad and interdisciplinary in nature. The impact factor (2017) and the 5-year impact factor (2016) of the journal is 3.838 and 4.580 respectively. We invite you to submit a relevant paper to our track "Social and Ethical Implications of ICT Use" for ECIS2019 in Sweden! Submission deadline for papers is November 27, 2018.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: HCI Track at ECIS 2019 Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2018 12:27:53 +0000 From: Jose Abdelnour-Nocera <Jose.Abdelnour-Nocera(a)uwl.ac.uk> To: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> We would like to invite you to submit to the research track "HCI in a Sharing Society" at the European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS) 2019 in Stockholm, Sweden, June 12-14, 2019. Please forward this CFP to interested colleagues and students. ===== Track Title: HCI in a Sharing Society Track Chairs: * Mikko Rajanen, University of Oulu, Finland. (mikko.rajanen(a)oulu.fi<mailto:mikko.rajanen@oulu.fi>) [Corresponding chair] * Jose Abdelnour-Nocera, University of West London, UK. (Jose.abdelnour-nocera(a)uwl.ac.uk<mailto:Jose.abdelnour-nocera@uwl.ac.uk> ) * Torkil Clemmensen, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark. (Tc.digi(a)cbs.dk<mailto:Tc.digi@cbs.dk>) * Dorina Rajanen, University of Oulu, Finland. (dorina.rajanen(a)oulu.fi<mailto:dorina.rajanen@oulu.fi>) Track Description: The socio-technical systems design approach has had a long history of influencing the systems design by considering human, social, technical and organisational factors (Trist and Bamford, 1951; Mumford,1999; Mumford, 2000; Bjørn-Andersen & Clemmensen, 2017). With the HCI in a Sharing Society we aim to energize the underlying premise of socio-technical thinking. The design of information systems should take into account both social and technical factors that influence the design and use of information systems, as opposed to techno-centric approaches to information systems design not taking into account the human and social aspects. However, the socio-technical approach is still not widely utilized in the IS and HCI discourses today, lacking theoretical models, conceptualizations and case studies. Some areas of HCI have been influenced by socio-technical approaches, such as usability and user-centered design, but there is still a lack of studies on how these socio-technical aspects might influence the interaction design and user experience of a complex and multifaceted information system. The goal of this track is to develop the field of HCI in a Sharing Society in general and in particular bridge to socio-technical approaches. By this, we mean the systematic and constructive use of sociotechnical thinking, approach, principles and methods thorough the HCI design process from the requirements gathering, specification, design, testing, evaluation, operation and evolution of information systems from human, social, technical and organisational perspectives. This track aims to raise awareness of the socio-technical aspects in HCI research and practice, and therefore the theme bridges from previous years conferences into the current and future conferences. Socio-technical HCI analyses are emerging as essential in the evolution of the Sharing Society and the development of information systems and advanced digital technologies required for this transformation. While we aim to develop the socio-technical HCI, the track is open to all research approaches and topics related to HCI. Possible topics include but are not limited to: * HCI for information systems in a Sharing Society * Usability, user experience research, usability testing and interaction design * Theory development, theory building, and theory testing in socio-technical HCI * Conceptualization and operationalization of the concepts related to socio-technical HCI * HCI for Collaborative Consumption * HCI for International Development * Employee-driven design of work from a socio-technical HCI perspective * Case studies of socio-technical design and developments in HCI * Incorporating socio-technical perspective into existing HCI theory and methods * Methods and processes for socio-technical HCI * Business cases for socio-technical HCI * Cost-benefit analysis for socio-technical HCI * Socio-technical HCI for distributed work * Socio-technical HCI in health IS * Evaluation techniques and metrics for socio-technical HCI * Novel applications of socio-technical HCI theories, techniques and methodologies in IS development * Explorations and creative investigations of emerging issues related to the socio-technical HCI * Case studies of socio-technical HCI * Standards related to HCI * Ethical aspects of socio-technical HCI in a sharing society * Usability, UX and HCI in games and gamification * User centred desig * Universal usability * Emotions in HCI * Psychophysiological measurements in HCI * Other topics focusing on HCI Submission Process: * Submission Deadline: 27.11.2018 * Notification Due: 28.02.2019 * Final Version Due: 31.03.2019 ECIS 2019 website: http://ecis2019.eu ECIS 2019 information to authors: http://ecis2019.eu/information-to-authors Dr. José Abdelnour Nocera Associate Professor in Sociotechnical Design School of Computing and Engineering Head of Sociotechnical Centre for Innovation and User Experience University of West London St Mary’s Road, Ealing – London W5 5RF _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

With more mobile devices than people on earth and a growing number of products and services entering individuals’ private sphere, this area of digitization calls for further attention. Such personal ICT serve various purposes and range from devices such as smartphones, smartwatches, smart home and health trackers; services such as instant messengers and advanced personal assistants; to complex peer-to-peer ecosystems such as social networks, sharing services, and collaborative systems. Accordingly, this track focuses on the design, use and impacts of these devices, services and complex product-service systems that are preliminary aimed at individuals in their different and varying roles as consumers, family members, friends, and citizens. This track aims at conflating perspectives on (1) the unique aspects of designing and building such ICT, (2) their impacts on individuals, organizations, and society, as well as (3) the challenges in managing them. For the benefit of individuals, firms, and society, this track seeks to gather insights that can be used to actively shape – i.e. understand, facilitate, and if necessary limit - the role of these novel technologies in individuals’ everyday lives. The topics surrounding personal ICT have recently gained traction with more and more publications in our premier outlets focusing on personal rather than organizational information technology and multiple special issues (e.g., Information Systems Journal, Electronic Markets) calling for more research in this topic area. The track aligns well with the ECIS 2019 conference theme “Information Systems for a Sharing Society” since the digitization of individuals’ personal spheres provides them with new capabilities and opportunities to control their own lives and their data, and to transform their interactions with other individuals, organizations, and governments. At the same time, those developments create new challenges and issues that we need to understand and mitigate. We encourage both full paper and research-in-progress paper submissions on the topic from all theoretical and methodological perspectives. Topics include but are not limited to: • Management and use of personal ICT − Interaction patterns with personal ICT − Discontinuance of personal ICT − Interdependencies between different devices and services in individuals’ ICT portfolios • Impact of personal ICT − Positive direct impacts (e.g., convenience, happiness, health improvements, …) − Negative direct impacts (e.g., exhaustion, physical well-being, …) − Indirect impacts on third parties (e.g., family, peers, society, organizations) − Rebound effects (e.g., reduced creativity) • Design of personal ICT − Approaches to develop ICT and related services tied to the needs of individuals − Design characteristics for personal ICT High quality and relevant papers from this track will be selected for fast-tracked development towards Internet Research (www.emeraldinsight.com/loi/intr <http://www.emeraldinsight.com/loi/intr> ).

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Papers: EASE 2019 – The 23rd International Conference on Evaluation and Assessment in Software Engineering Date: Mon, 29 Oct 2018 15:54:26 +0000 From: Valentina Lenarduzzi <valentina.lenarduzzi(a)tut.fi> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for Papers: EASE 2019 – The 23rd International Conference on Evaluation and Assessment in Software Engineering ===================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS The 23rd International Conference on Evaluation and Assessment in Software Engineering (EASE'19) April 15-17, 2019 - Copenhagen, Denmark www.ease2019.org Twitter: @ConfEase Facebook: Ease2019 ===================================================================== The Evaluation and Assessment in Software Engineering (EASE) conference is an internationally-leading venue for academics and practitioners to present and discuss their research on evidence-based software engineering and its implications for software practice. The 23rd edition of EASE will be organized between 15th and 17th April 2019 at the IT University of Copenhagen, Denmark. EASE 2019 welcomes high-quality research submissions to different tracks: Full Research Papers, Short Papers & Artefacts, Emerging Results & Vision, Industry Track, Doctoral Symposium, and Posters (see the details below). Submissions may cover any topic related to the empirical and evidence-based software engineering, such as: - Experiments and quasi-experiments - Replications of empirical studies - Case studies - Action research - Experience reports - Survey research - Field studies - Ethnographic - Grounded theory - Observational studies - Systematic reviews, mapping studies and meta-analyses - Methodological issues and practices - Tools to support empirical and evidence-based research and evaluation FULL RESEARCH PAPERS TRACK The EASE full research paper track seeks submissions reporting original, unpublished research covering any aspect of Experimental, Empirical and Evidence-Based Software Engineering, for example the use of quantitative and qualitative methods for empirical evaluation of software engineering technologies, methods, and tools. This track particularly welcome the research that is aimed at innovative use of established and/or development and use of new research approaches and tools for supporting Evidence-Based Software Engineering. The full research papers will not exceed 10 pages. IMPORTANT DATES FOR THE FULL RESEARCH PAPERS TRACK Abstract submission: December 20, 2018 Papers submission: January 10, 2019 Notification: February 28, 2019 EMERGING RESULTS AND VISION TRACK Emerging Results and Vision track will accept the following kinds of papers (no longer than 6 pages): * The Emerging Results Papers should aim at reporting preliminary, initial research results for which the complete evaluation is not yet carried out. The primary purpose of the Emerging Results papers is to communicate new ideas to get an early feedback from the empirical software engineering community. This track particularly invites work on how to evaluate the solutions (e.g., practices, methodologies, technologies, tools, and software based services) which are on the emerging areas of software engineering, for example, (a) related to emerging technologies (Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Software Analytics) or (b) ones that appear in emerging infrastructures of software engineering (Cloud Computing, DevOps, Healthcare, Smart Cities, and IoT). We are particularly interested in how the existing empirical research methods can be used or tailored for evaluating such software-based solutions being developed with emerging technologies infrastructures. * The Vision Papers should present long term challenges and opportunities instead of incremental improvements or evaluations of current solutions or practices. Typically, they include creative ways to extend the applicability of techniques in empirical software engineering and/or challenge the existing explicit or implicit assumptions or paradigms in the field. Bold calls to action for potential novel directions supported by a well-motivated scientific intuition or argument, as well as well-grounded predictions of how empirical software engineering research and practice will look in the far future are welcome. IMPORTANT DATES FOR THE EMERGING RESULTS AND VISION TRACK Abstract submission: January 20, 2019 Papers submission: January 27, 2019 Notification: February 17, 2019 SHORT PAPERS AND ARTEFACTS TRACK Submissions (to both short papers and artefacts categories) should be limited to 4 – 6 pages, including figures, tables, and references. SHORT PAPERS: The short paper category invites submission of insightful research that can often go unrecognized under the standard review process. This includes, but is not limited to, for instance: * Critic of established methodology and/or practice; * Research on controversial topics; * “Folklore” confirmations: when a sound research finds “what everyone knows already”. Though often these “common sense” findings have not been scientifically proven, such findings are frequently considered “not new enough” under traditional peer review; * Unexpected results: when empirical evaluation results diverge dramatically from the expectations, and the researchers do not find what they were looking for; * Confirmation studies, when a new study confirms previously well known results; * Methodological failure reports, where poor design invalidates otherwise interesting findings (both the findings and study design flaws need to be discussed). EMPIRICAL ARTEFACTS: The artefact category encourages submission of artefacts which can provide value to the broader empirical research, e.g., datasets, raw data collected for experimental research, along with the description of tools/environments/scripts which can be used to facilitate reuse of this dataset for other study designs. Artefact submissions should also include a paper that explains what the artefacts are, how they were created (e.g., how data was collected), and how they can be reused. EASE aims to promote artefact reuse, and, to this end, will build a topic-specific community-wide catalogue to support empirical research. IMPORTANT DATES FOR THE SHORT PAPERS AND ARTEFACTS TRACK Abstract submission: January 27, 2019 Papers submission: February 3, 2019 Notification: February 25, 2019 INDUSTRY TRACK The industry track welcomes contributions from the industry practitioners and researchers collaborating closely with the industry in the same areas as the main track. The industry practitioners my share their experiences of assessing current practice, adopting and evaluating new methods, practices or technologies, and gathering local or contextual evidence. We invite four types of submissions to this track: 1. For the first time in EASE, we introduce Experience reports: The experience report authors submit an extended abstract first, then they are assigned an experienced writer as a shepherd to guide them through the paper writing process. 2. The Empirical studies in the industry are conducted in an industrial setting and short papers are written by researchers or practitioners or co-authored by both. 3. The Industry talk submissions are aimed at those industry practitioners that have an interesting story to tell, but instead of writing a paper, prefer sharing their experiences in the conference by giving a talk. 4. We solicit Panel proposals on topics that are likely to be relevant and of interest to industrial attendees. IMPORTANT DATES FOR THE INDUSTRY TRACK Experience report submission (extended abstracts): January 27, 2019 Empirical studies in the industry, abstract submission: January 27, 2019 Empirical studies in the industry, paper submission: February 3, 2019 Industry talk proposal submission: February 11, 2019 Panel proposal submission: February 11, 2019 Notification dates: Experience reports (acceptance to the shepherding process): February 4, 2019 Experience reports (final paper acceptance): March 8, 2019 Empirical studies in the industry: February 28, 2019 Industry talks: February 28, 2019 Panel proposals: February 28, 2019 DOCTORAL SYMPOSIUM TRACK The objective of the symposium is to provide junior researchers with the opportunity to present their work to the empirical software engineering community and receive valuable feedback from experienced researchers in that community. The symposium will facilitate the exchange of ideas among young and experienced researchers. To do so, experienced members of the empirical software engineering community will serve as the symposium advisors and provide feedback to students presenting their work. Participants are doctoral students, preferably at a mid-point in their dissertation work (i.e. are at least 12 months from defending their dissertation, but have at least a preliminary research design), who will present their work at the symposium. A dedicated mentor will be assigned to each student participant from the board of advisors for a detailed feedback, additionally the other symposium advisors and other attendees will also participate in discussion and provide feedback to the presenters. IMPORTANT DATES FOR THE DOCTORAL SYMPOSIUM Plan submission: January 18, 2019 Notification: February 1, 2019 POSTERS TRACK In this track the researchers will be able to publish late-breaking results, technical descriptions, smaller research contributions, works-in-progress and student projects in a concise and visible format. Accepted posters will be displayed in the conference venue, providing presenters with an opportunity to engage in discussion with other attendees around their research. Posters are limited to 2 pages. IMPORTANT DATES FOR THE POSTERS TRACK Papers submission: February 28, 2019 Notification: March 10, 2019 Camera ready and author registration for all tracks: March 15, 2019 SUBMITTING TO EASE 2019 All the tracks will accept submissions via Easy Chair. The submitted papers to all tracks of EASE2019 must be written in English, contain original work which is not currently in submission for review or publication elsewhere, must conform to the ACM SIG Proceedings template. Submissions must be carried out via EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ease2019).
