Call for Workshop Proposals ***
Fifth
International Conference on Software Business (ICSOB 2014)
Azia
Resort and Spa, Paphos Cyprus
June
15-18, 2014
Deadline
for proposals: December 23rd
Notification:
December 31st
We
invite proposals for workshops. Workshops are intended to
provide a
forum
for the discussion of a specific topic from the field of
software
business
between an international group of researchers. Software business
creates
a noticeable spillover within other industries (e.g.
manufacturing,
entertainment
industry) enabling new business models: companies bundle
their
physical products and software services into solutions (e.g.
using
subscription
models or in-app purchases) and start to sell independent
software
products in addition to physical products. Therefore, we invite
workshop
proposals that focus on software business in new and emerging
industries.
Finally, we also warmly welcome workshop proposals aligned
with
the theme of ICSOB 2014: “Shortening the time-to-market”.
Each
workshop should have at least four paper presentations. The
workshop
organiser
will be responsible for advertising the workshop, reviewing and
selecting
the papers. Financial assistance for the workshop organiser will
be
limited
to one fee waiver for the conference. Papers accepted for
workshops
are
planned to be published under the CCIS proceedings,
Proposals
to organise workshops should include the following information:
• Title
of the workshop
• Name,
affiliation, mailing address and e-mail address of the
proposer(s).
• A
brief introduction of the proposer, explaining his/her
qualifications.
• Names
of at least three PC members for the workshops
• A
description of the topic of the session (not exceeding 100
words)
• A
short description on how the session will be advertised so as to
ensure
a sufficiently wide range of authors.
• A
description of how the workshop will contribute to the field of
Software Business.
Please
send your proposals to the Program Chairs of ICSOB 2014 and to
workshop chair:
Papers
for workshops should be submitted directly to the workshop using
our paper
submission
system. The workshop organizer will be required to use the ICSOB
2014
paper
submission engine and to review the papers on basis of the same
criteria as
those
in the main track. The list of papers accepted for a workshop
should be sent
to
the Program Chairs before April 15, 2014.
