ICSE 2005 is soliciting proposals
for workshops to be held in conjunction with the main conference. Prospective
workshop
organizers are requested to follow the guidelines below in submitting a workshop
proposal by the submission
date,
and are encouraged to contact the workshop chairs should any questions
arise.

> Goal
ICSE 2005 workshops provide
a forum for small groups of participants to
exchange opinions, advance ideas, and discuss preliminary results on
focused
research topics. Workshops are not alternative forums for full research
papers, and usually restrict themselves to submission of position papers
only.
Workshops should focus on fostering discussion and avoid being presentation
only; at least half the time should be devoted to discussion. To foster
dialog, the ideal group size is twenty to twenty-five. Group sizes may
range
as high as forty, but at the cost of limiting the opportunities to engage
all
participants in meaningful discussions.

> Workshop
Format
Workshops may be either one, one and a half, or two days long, and may
be held
before or after the main conference. Prospective workshop organizers
must
clearly specify the desired length of their workshop. In addition, they
may
indicate in their workshop proposals any scheduling preferences they
have, but
the acceptance of a workshop proposal does not guarantee that the requested
dates/times will be accommodated. We assume that submission of a workshop
proposal indicates that the prospective workshop organizers are available
to
run the workshop on any of the days that ICSE 2005 has scheduled for
workshops. Scheduling and other constraints might in some cases also
require
that the intended workshop duration be shortened.
^ Top
> Evaluation
Workshop proposals will be reviewed by at
least three members of the ICSE 2005
Workshop Committee. Acceptance will be based on:
> an evaluation
of the workshop's potential to advance the state of software engineering
research and/or practice;
> the timeliness and expected interest in the topic;
> the organizers' ability to lead a successful workshop;
> the need of ICSE 2005 to achieve balance
and synergy in its workshop and other event offerings.
^ Top
> Submission
Workshop proposals should be submitted electronically
in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). The proposal, in 3 pages or less, minimum 10pt font,
must
include:
> full contact information for the principal
organizer;
> the desired length of the workshop (one, one and a half, or two days)
> a one-page outline of the theme and goals of the workshop;
> a short statement discussing the relevance of the workshop to the
field of
software engineering;
> the desired minimum and maximum number of workshop participants;
> the participant solicitation and selection process;
> a brief description of each organizer's background, including relevant
past experience in organizing workshops and contact information;
> a preliminary version of the call for workshop papers that the workshop
organizers intend to use;
> a list of (proposed & already
committed) program committee members;
> desired workshop date(s), and any additional scheduling constraints;
> requested equipment, room capacity
and organization, and any other logistic constraints.
Submissions for this category
are closed.

/ Presentation
Accepted workshops must adhere to the
common deadlines listed above for
submission of workshop papers, notification of acceptance of workshop
papers,
and preparation of the workshop proceedings. Workshop organizers
must limit
the length of any requested workshop papers to 7 pages in ICSE two column format.
Workshop organizers are responsible for producing
two items:
1. An informal proceedings, which will be made electronically available
by ICSE 2005 before the workshop so participants can download the papers
(ICSE 2005 will be entirely electronic).
2. A set of files, prepared specifically
for inclusion of the papers in the ACM Digital Library (instructions to
follow upon workshop
acceptance).
^ Top
> Budget
ICSE 2005 will not pay for registration,
travel, or other arrangements for
workshop organizers or any of their invited guests. All participants,
including workshop organizers, must register for the workshop.
ICSE 2005 has arranged for accepted workshops
to be able to use, if so desired, CyberChairPRO at no extra charge.
