One Week Remaining for ICSA2019 Workshop Proposals
ICSA2019 – The IEEE Intl. Conference on Software Architecture,
March 25-29 in Hamburg, Germany
ICSA 2019 workshops provide a unique forum for researchers and
practitioners to present, learn, discuss and explore the latest
experiences, challenges, trends and emerging R&D results in
the field of software architecture. A workshop is not a
mini-conference. The goal of workshops is to provide a forum for
participants to engage in intensive discussion and explore the
topic from different perspectives.
Workshops can be half-day or one-day events. Potential topics for
workshops are the same as, but not limited to, those of the ICSA
2019 conference.
Workshop chairs are responsible for submission and selection of
papers. Submissions must follow the IEEE Computer Science
proceedings format, as workshop proceedings will be published by
IEEE CS Digital Library. Workshop organizers may allow for
different types of contributions (e.g., short and long papers),
but a workshop paper should not exceed a maximum of 8 pages in
IEEE format.

Formatting and Submission Instructions
All workshop proposals must conform, at time of submission, to the
IEEE Formatting Guidelines. Proposals must be written in English
and not exceed 4 pages in length. They are submitted through the
Easychair submission system by the proposal submission deadline.
Proposals should contain:
Motivation and objectives of the workshop Title and acronym of the
workshop
Motivation and objectives of the workshop topic (not exceeding 500
words) (Note: If your workshop is accepted then this description
will be used as early publicity.)
A more detailed discussion of the anticipated outcomes of the
workshop (e.g., open research problems to pursue, validation
objectives, empirical studies, why the topic needs to be explored
in a workshop setting etc.)
Information about previous editions of the same workshop (if any)
Potential connection with other ICSA events (if any)
Workshop format and needed services What will be the format and
timings for the workshop? (e.g., position talks, keynotes,
breakout sessions, panel discussions, experiments, paper
presentation and discussion,or a combination thereof)
What are the requirements in terms of rooms, equipment, and
support staff? (e.g., do you need special room layout or
assistance from student volunteers?)
Target audience What backgrounds should the workshop attendees
have?
What is the range (min, max) for number of attendees for the
workshop?
What mix of industry and research participants is being sought?
Please outline a strong and proactive publicity plan, including
information about the expected number and type of contributions
and the initial acceptance rate.
Who are the potential Keynote speakers? In particular can you
attract keynote speakers from from industry?
Workshop contributions and evaluation What types of contribution
are being solicited for the workshop? (e.g., full papers, position
papers, posters, demos, experiments, or other interactive
sessions)
What type of evaluation process will be used?
Workshop duration and timetable Indicate if you plan for a
half-day or a full-day workshop and provide a timetable for the
structure of the event
Organizers and program committee Names and bios of organizers
List of the potential program committee members
Draft call for papers for the workshop (a one page call for papers
that you intend to send out if your workshop is accepted)
Evaluation Criteria
Workshop proposals will be reviewed in a separate evaluation
process from research papers. Acceptance will be based on:
Evaluation of the workshop’s potential to advance the state of
research and/or practice or bridging disciplines, between research
and practice;
Timeliness and expected interest in the topic;
Relevance to the conference topics (See the topics of interest in
the ICSA 2019 conference site);
The potential for attracting an appropriate number of
participants;
Organizer’s ability to lead a successful workshop and attract
contributors;
Balance and synergy with other ICSA events
A workshops may be canceled or merged with others after the early
registration deadline if too few participants have registered to
make the event viable.
