CALL FOR TOOL DEMONSTRATIONS

25th International Conference on Automated Software Engineering

ASE'2010

DATES

May  17: Paper submission
June 24: Author notification
July 8: Camera-ready papers
September 20-24: ASE 2010

INTRODUCTION

Software Engineering is concerned with the analysis, design,  
implementation,
testing, and maintenance of software systems. Automated software  
engineering
focuses on how to automate these tasks in order to achieve  
improvements in
quality and productivity. Tool support, therefore, is central to this.

The 25th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Software Engineering  
invites
high-quality submissions for its tool demonstrations track.

The ASE tool demonstrations track provides an opportunity for  
researchers
and practitioners to present and discuss the most recent advances,  
experiences,
and challenges in the field of automated software engineering with the  
goal
of allowing live presentation of new research tools. Tools can range  
from
research prototypes to in-house or pre-commercialized products.

The tool demonstrations are intended to highlight underlying scientific
contributions. Whereas a regular research paper is intended to give the
background information and point out the scientific contribution of a
new software engineering approach, the tool demonstration paper provides
a good opportunity to show how the scientific approach has been  
transferred
into a working tool. Authors of regular research papers are thus  
encouraged
to submit an accompanying tool demonstration paper.

The Tool Demonstration Committee will review each submission to assess  
the
relevance and quality of the proposed tool demonstration in terms of  
originality,
soundness, presentation, and appropriate consideration of related  
literature.

Please forward this call to anyone who might be interested.

PAPER SUBMISSION & PUBLICATION

Submissions of proposals for formal tool demonstrations must:
* adhere to the ASE‘2010 proceedings format (ACM proceedings)
* have a maximum of 2 pages that describe the technology or approach,  
how it
   relates to other industrial or research efforts, including  
references, and
   describe what the expected benefits are;
* have an appendix (not included in the 2 page count) that provides a  
brief
   description of how the presentation will be conducted (possibly  
illustrated
   with snapshots), information on tool availability and maturity in  
addition
   to a web-page for the tool (if one exists);
* be submitted via the EasyChair system by May 17, 2010:
     http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ase25tools

Accepted demonstrations will be allocated 2 pages in the conference  
proceedings.
Demonstrators are expected to give a presentation that will be  
scheduled into the
conference program. There will also be a demonstration area open to  
attendees at
scheduled times during the conference, during which demonstrators are  
expected to
be available. Presentation at the conference is a requirement for  
publication.
