SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS - ICSR 2020, November 9-11, 2020, Hammamet - TUNISIA 19 th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SOFTWARE AND SYSTEMS REUSE www.icsr2020.org The International Conference on Software and Systems Reuse (ICSR) is the premier event in the field of software reuse research and technology. The main goal of ICSR is to present the most recent advances and breakthroughs in the area of software reuse and to promote an intensive and continuous exchange among researchers and practitioners. The 19th International Conference on Software and Systems Reuse (ICSR-2020) will be held on November 9-11 2020, in Hammamet, Tunisia. The guiding theme of this edition is: *Reuse in emerging software engineering practices* We invite submissions on new and innovative research results and industrial experience reports dealing with all aspects of software reu se within the context of the modern software development landscape, characterized by: 1) Large ecosystems of reusable, open-source components and service-oriented, containerized cloud-hosted applications; 2) Context-aware (IoT) applications, which combine a complex and heterogeneous mix of ever more powerful hardware and evolving software frameworks and containers; and 3) The resurgence of AI as both, (i) an enabling technology for reuse for domain engineering (e.g. domain ontologies, identification of reusable assets) and application engineering (e.g. component retrieval), and (ii) an object of reuse that addresses the full lifecycle and scope of “intelligent” software components, i.e. well beyond the simple (re)use of machine learning libraries. These developments have had important—and sometimes contradictory—effects on reuse theory and practice. We welcome papers dealing with : 1) Reuse organizational, managerial, economic, and legal issues, in general, and as they pertain to the new development landscape, 2) Technical aspects of reuse, in general (see full CFP at www.icsr2020.org), and as they pertain to large ecosystems of open-source libraries (npm, pip, etc), IoT frameworks, and machine learning artefacts (business components, models, libraries, training data, etc.), and 3) Software reuse in industry (success & failure stories; success factors and lessons learned; ROI studies). As with previous editions, accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings, to be published by Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science. New in this edition, the program committee will award a Best Paper Award to the best paper in terms of, 1) originality, 2) presentation, and 3) impact. The finalists will be submitted to a special issue of a refereed journal. *Research paper abstracts due June 19th, 2020, full papers due July 3rd, 2020*. *Satellite Events* Along with the main technical program, this year's edition will hold the following satellite events: 1) workshops, 2) tutorials, 3) a doctoral symposium, 4) a graduate student "job fair" to help connect qualified prospective graduate students with ICSR researchers, and 5) a "Tools and Posters" session for sharing emerging research directions and live tool demonstrations and exposing new research ideas. We welcome proposals for workshops and tutorials, and submissions for the doctoral symposium and the "Tools/Poster" session, by August 31st, 2020. *Venue* The conference will be held at the "Diar Lemdina" hotel and conference center, located in Andalusian-style old town of beautiful Yasmine Hammamet, Tunisia's seaside resort (nicknamed Tunisia's "Cote D'Azur"), with plenty of walking distance tourist attractions around the hotel. Tunisia has a temperature weather, and the day highs in November in Hammamet are around 20 deg C (70 deg. F), with a sea temperature of 21 deg C. *Please check the conference site for more information: www.icsr2020.org*

AlCoB 2020: call for posters*To be removed from our mailing list, please respond to this message with UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject line* ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 7th International Conference on Algorithms for Computational Biology (AlCoB 2020) invites researchers to submit poster presentations. AlCoB 2020 will be held in Missoula, Montana on April 13-15, 2020. See: https://alcob2020.irdta.eu/ Poster presentations are intended to enhance informal interactions with conference participants, at the same time allowing for in-depth discussion. TOPICS Presentations displaying novel work in progress on algorithms in computational biology are encouraged on the following topics: - assembling sequence reads into a complete genome, - identifying gene structures in the genome, - recognizing regulatory motifs, - aligning nucleotides and comparing genomes, - reconstructing regulatory networks of genes, and - inferring the evolutionary phylogeny of species. Posters do not need to show final research results. Work that might lead to new interesting developments is welcome. KEY DATES Poster submission deadline: March 6, 2020 Notification of poster acceptance or rejection: March 13, 2020 SUBMISSION Please upload a .pdf submission to: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=alcob2020 It should contain the title, author(s) and affiliation, and should not exceed 500 words. PRESENTATION Posters will be allocated 10 minutes each in the programme for oral presentation. Moreover, they will remain hanging out during the whole conference for discussion. PUBLICATION Posters will not appear in the LNCS/LNBI proceedings volume of AlCoB 2020. However, they will be eligible for submission to the post-conference journal special issue. REGISTRATION At least one author of each accepted poster must register to the conference by March 20, 2020. The registration fare is reduced: 285 Euros. It gives the same rights all other conference participants will have (attendance, copy of the proceedings volume, coffee breaks, lunches). Contributors of regular papers who in addition get a poster accepted must register for the latter independently.
