Call for Papers: http://www.iaria.org/conferences/CfPICSEA06.html Submission: Go to http://www.iaria.org/conferences/ICSEA06.html and click "Submit a paper" Deadlines: Submission deadline: June 1, 2006 Notification: July 1, 2006 Camera ready: July 15, 2006 ICSEA 2006 initiates a series of events covering a broad spectrum of software-related topics. The conference covers fundamentals on designing, implementing, testing, validating and maintaining various kinds of software. Several tracks are proposed to treat the topics from theory to practice, in terms of methodologies, design, implementation, testing, use cases, tools, and lessons learnt. The conference topics cover classical and advanced methodologies, open source, agile software, as well as software deployment and software economics and education. The conference has the following tracks: Track 1 Advances in fundamentals for software development Track 2 Advanced mechanisms for software development Track 3 Advanced design tools for developing software Track 4 Advanced facilities for accessing software Track 5 Software performance Track 6 Software security, privacy, safeness Track 7 Advances in software testing Track 8 Specialized software advanced applications Track 9 Open source software Track 10 Agile software techniques Track 11 Software deployment and maintenance Track 12 Software economics, adoption, and education We welcome technical papers presenting research and practical results, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, such as those being discussed in the standard fora or in industry consortia, survey papers addressing the key problems and solutions on any of the above topics short papers on work in progress, and panel proposals. The topics suggested by the conference can be discussed in term of concepts, state of the art, standards, implementations, running experiments and applications. Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal in the following, but not limited topic areas. Industrial presentations are not subject to these constraints. Tutorials on specific related topics and panels on challenging areas are encouraged. http://www.iaria.org/conferences/CfPICSEA06.html The ICSEA 2006 Proceedings are published by the IEEE Computer Society Press, and are indexed by SCI and EI via IEEE. Regular papers Only .pdf or .doc files will be accepted for paper submission. All papers submitted via the EDAS system will receive an ID that will be e-mailed to the contact author. Final author manuscripts will be 8.5" x 11" (two columns IEEE format), not exceeding 6 pages; max 4 extra pages allowed at additional cost. The formatting instructions can be found via anonymous FTP site at: ftp://pubftp.computer.org/Press/Outgoing/proceedings/8.5x11%20-%20Formatting%20files/instruct.pdf Once you receive the notification of paper acceptance, you will be provided by the IEEE CS Press an online author kit with all the steps an author needs to follow to submit the final version. Technical marketing/business/positioning presentations The conference initiates a series of business, technical marketing, and positioning presentations on the same topics. Speakers must submit a 10-12 slide deck presentations with substantial notes accompanying the slides, in the .ppt format (.pdf-ed). The slide deck will be published in the conference's CD collection, together with the regular papers. Please send your presentations to petre@iaria.org. Tutorials Tutorials provide overviews of current high interest topics. Proposals can be for half or full day tutorials. Please send your proposals to petre@iaria.org. Panel proposals: The organizers encourage scientists and industry leaders to organize dedicated panels dealing with controversial and challenging topics and paradigms. Panel moderators are asked to identify their guests and manage that their appropriate talk supports timely reach our deadlines. Moderators must specifically submit an official proposal, indicating their background, panelist names, their affiliation, the topic of the panel, as well as short biographies. For more information, petre@iaria.org. Workshop proposals We welcome workshop proposals on issues complementary to the topics of this conference. Your requests should be forwarded to petre@iaria.org. Looking forward for your submissions, Thanks, On behalf of the ICSEA Advisory Committee Petre Dini, pdini@cisco.com ==================================================
