CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

The Canadian Consortium for Software Engineering Research (CSER)

presents ...

The CSER 2013 Spring Meeting!


Where: Montréal, Canada
When: June 17 and 18, 2013

Deadline: May 27, 2013

Web: http://www.cser.ca/
Email: cser DOT montreal AT gmail DOT com


Dear colleagues,

The Consortium for Software Engineering Research (CSER) 2013
Spring meeting will take place on Monday, June 17, 2013, and 
Tuesday, June 18, 2013 in Montréal. Please save these dates!

CSER is an open meeting to present and discuss research results
in software engineering. It is "open" in the sense that every researcher, 
industry participant or grad student based in Canada or fascinated by 
software engineering research in Canada can participate. All that is 
needed is a 150 word abstract (details below), and you're good to go. 
There is no reviewing phase, nor proceedings. The main goal really is 
to gather and provide feedback on the recent research results of the 
participants (and, while you're at it, enjoy one of the most beautiful 
Canadian cities).

As such, CSER is an ideal software engineering venue both for 
experienced researchers to present upcoming conference papers, for
industry participants to present project deliverables, as for young and 
not-so-young students to present their first paper, tool or poster.

Please feel free to forward this email to other members of your
research team, your research partners, or colleagues at your
institution or company who may be able to participate!
