Call for papers: NEW IDEAS AND EMERGING RESULTS WORKSHOP

Agile 2011 - Research at Work http://www.agile2011.org/ August 7-13, 2011, Salt Lake City, USA

The New Ideas and Emerging Results workshop is a new and exciting part of the Research at Work track of Agile 2011. This workshop will provide an excellent opportunity to present opinions, ideas and suggestions for future research in the field.

We invite researchers to contribute position papers suggesting research that would add to the body of knowledge on agile methods and processes, agile teams and people, and the tools and practices that support them. We are looking for papers that present current work-in-progress or proposals for new research directions. Submissions from experienced researchers, students and practitioners will be equally welcomed.

We particularly aim at bridging the gap between research and practice by active engagement with the accepted research proposals, alongside relevant partners from the agile practitioner community. This will provide a great opportunity to develop your ideas with others and get direct feedback on how to make the research relevant and accessible to a broader audience.

New ideas and emerging results papers will be published in the electronic proceedings and indexed in IEEE Xplore. Position papers are limited to 4 pages and must follow the IEEE Proceedings format (http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting). Author information must be removed from submissions. Submissions must be in PDF format.

Important dates: - Submission deadline: 25 February 2011 - Author notification: 15 April 2011 - Camera-ready version due: 1 May 2011

Papers must be submitted electronically through EasyChair: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=agile2011
