CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

The 25th IEEE International Symposium on
Software Reliability Engineering (ISSRE 2014)

http://www.issre.net

Naples, Italy
November 3 - 6, 2014

--------------------------------------------------------------

ISSRE has grown over the years to become a leading conference
in the areas of assessing, predicting, and improving
reliability, safety, and security of software and
software-controlled systems. Workshops at ISSRE provide forums
for interaction and information sharing between researchers
and industrial practitioners. Workshops co-located with ISSRE
can follow different formats, ranging from traditional peer
reviewed papers to sessions that seek solutions to specific
challenging problems.

Workshop organizers are expected to advertise the workshop,
create and maintain the workshop website, arrange for
collection of submissions, referring (if applicable) and paper
selection, collection and delivery of camera ready material
and adequate copyright transfers. Workshop papers and other
written contributions will be included in the Supplemental
ISSRE Proceedings (ISSRE-W). Peer reviewed workshop papers
will also appear in the IEEE Xplore.

The ISSRE 2014 Organizing Committee invites workshop proposals
on topics related to any area of interest to the ISSRE
community. Topics recent from ISSRE workshops include:

- Software aging and rejuvenation
- Program debugging
- Open systems dependability
- Software certification
- Safety critical software
- Embedded systems
- Requirements engineering
- Process models
- Software metrics

A workshop proposal should include the following information
in a single PDF document:

* Workshop title

* Description of the workshop, including motivation, focus
  areas, and relevance to ISSRE.

* Names and contact information of the organizers, including
  brief description of their past experience in organizing
  workshops and/or conferences.

* Workshop duration (full day or half day).

* Workshop format, including but not limited to peer reviewed
  papers, invited papers, discussion sessions, and panels.

* Approximate number of papers, invited talks, panels, and/or
  discussion sessions.

* Tentative program committee if applicable and available.

* Whether the workshop is new or ongoing. For ongoing
  workshops provide information on past editions, such as
  URLs, previous conference co-locations, approximate
  attendance, etc.

Acceptance will be based on evaluation of the timeliness of the
proposed topic, expected interest in the topic, and proposers'
record in organizing successful workshops/conferences.
