FSE 2016 is soliciting proposals for workshops to be held in
conjunction with the main symposium. Submit a workshop proposal to FSE
to bring together groups of researchers on relevant and exciting
topics. All proposals will be evaluated according to the criteria of
relevance, anticipated level of enthusiasm for the topic, expected
number of participants, and proposers’ experience in organizing a
successful workshop.

FSE 2016 workshops aim to provide opportunities for exchanging views,
advancing ideas, and discussing preliminary results in various areas
of software engineering research and applications. Workshops are not
an alternative forum for presenting full research papers.

Workshop Proposals:

Workshop proposals must be no more than 4 pages in length and must
conform to the FSE 2016 Format and Submission Guidelines.

Each proposal must address (at least) the following issues:

* Desired workshop length (1 or 2 days).
* Contact details of the organizers, including an identification of
the main contact person.
* An up to 175-word abstract of the goals and format of the workshop
intended for the FSE 2016 web pages.
* The theme, goals, and topics of the workshop, as well as a
motivation of its relevance and timeliness, including an account of
the workshop’s history (if any).
* The workshop format, including forms of participation supported
(e.g., demo, position statement, panel discussion, working session,
etc.) and plans for generating and stimulating discussion at the
workshop.
* The paper selection procedure, including the types of papers
permitted (demo, short, long, position statement, etc.), the dates of
notification of acceptance, names of proposed and of confirmed program
committee members, and a link to a preliminary workshop web site and
call for papers. If the workshop intends to publish its proceedings
through the ACM digital library, the workshop paper submission
deadline must be set for July 1, 2016, and the hard deadline for
camera-ready submissions will be in September 9, 2016.
* Publicity plans, including a motivated assessment of the number of
expected participants, as well as the participant solicitation and
selection process. Indicate whether the workshop will be open or
closed.
* Follow-up plans, explaining how the workshop results are expected to be used.
* A brief bio of each organizer, including past experience in workshop
organization.
