ICSR 2017

ICSR 2017, the premier conference on software reuse, invites proposals for one-day and half-day workshops to be hosted in conjunction with the conference. Workshops on a variety of topics including, but not limited to those listed in the CFP may be appropriate. Submissions in the area of the conference's main topic and new/innovative research areas in software reuse will receive preferential treatment.

Workshop proposals are limited to 3 pages in length. The proposal should include the following information:

Please email your workshop proposals to Rafael Capilla (rafael.capilla@urjc.es). Workshop proposals are reviewed as they are received on a first come first served basis.

ICSR 2017, the premier conference on software reuse, invites submissions for tutorial proposals. The purpose of the tutorial program is to provide participants with the opportunity to expand their software reuse knowledge and skills. The primary aim of Tutorials is to focus on well-established or cutting-edge topics highlighting innovative aspects of reuse. Tutorial proposals should cover any of the ICSR 2017 CFP topics or conference's theme.

Proposals for tutorials are limited to 3 pages and should include:

Please email your tutorial proposals to Rafael Capilla (rafael.capilla@urjc.es). Workshop proposals are reviewed as they are received on a first come first served basis. Tutorial descriptions will not appear in the ICSR Proceedings, but all speakers can have any relevant materials posted on the ICSR 2017 web site.

ICSR 2017, the premier conference on software reuse, invites submissions for the Tools and Demonstrations track. The ICSR Tool Demonstrations enable industry and academic researchers to share their ideas and present the state of the art and practice in Software Reuse. ICSR 2017 presents an excellent opportunity for researchers and professional software engineers to present their working tools and systems to the Software Reuse community. Tool Demonstrations should cover any of the ICSR 2017 CFP topics or conference’s theme.

Submissions must conform to Springer's LNCS format and be written in English. Page limit is 8 pages for Tools and Demonstrations. Proposals for tool demonstrations should sent to Deepak Dhungana (deepak.dhungana@siemens.com). Demo papers will be published in the conference proceedings as short papers. Authors are encouraged to share their tools and presentations as well as illustrative videos so that they can be linked on the ICSR tool demos web site.

All selected tools will be presented during the conference in a formal lecture-style presentation session followed by an informal demo session where individuals can walk around, ask specific questions, and interact with the tools.

Symposium Overview

The goal of the Doctoral Symposium is to provide a forum for doctoral students working in the area of software reuse (or in areas closely related to reuse) to discuss their proposed thesis. Students will get feedback on their work from the Symposium Expert Panelists, and will be able to attend regular ICSR sessions. Participants will present their work highlighting the main research challenges, solution directions, results obtained thus far, evaluation plan, and research plan towards the completion of the Ph.D. studies. Presentation - limited to twenty minutes - should be supported by slides. An Expert Panel composed of software reuse researchers will provide feedback to help students shape their work.

There will be an award for the most promising idea for original research. The winner will be selected based on the submitted paper, presentation and discussions. Accepted papers will be published (probably at LNCS).

Submission Instructions

Currently registered doctoral students are invited to submit their proposal for participation in the Doctoral Symposium, provided they have already selected a research topic and outlined the research plan in some detail. The event serves as an opportunity to receive early feedback on a thesis topic or later feedback to help tune a dissertation.

To be considered, a student should submit a research paper and his/her supervisor should submit a recommendation letter as follows:

The research paper should be written in the style of the thesis proposal, addressing the research problem description and its importance (who will benefit from the solution and how), research challenges, research approach, related work (highlight the novelty of your approach), results to date, plans for evaluation, and references.

Please indicate on the top of the front page: your name, the date (month/year) that you started your Ph.D., the expected defense date (month/year), and the name of your advisor.

The paper is limited to six pages in length and must conform to Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science format. Submit the paper directly to the symposium chair Rohit Gheyi (rohit@dsc.ufcg.edu.br), with subject "ICSR DS Symposium Proposal".

Recommendation letter: A thesis advisor should e-mail a brief recommendation letter directly to the symposium chair Rohit Gheyi (rohit@dsc.ufcg.edu.br), with subject "ICSR DS Symposium Recommendation Letter".

An Expert Panel will evaluate all submissions and accepted proposals will be presented at the ICSR Doctoral Symposium. It is important to notice that the person that will present an accepted paper must be the doctoral student, author of the paper. Professors and colleagues are not allowed to present papers on behalf of the doctoral student. Please note that a registration is required for the short paper to be published.
