*********************************************************************
Call for Workshop Proposals 
*********************************************************************
<http://2015.icse-conferences.org/call-dates/call-for-contributions/workshop-proposal>


* Scope and Goal *

The 2015 International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE)
Workshops provide a forum for a group of 20-50 participants to discuss
topics in software engineering research and practice. ICSE Workshops
will provide opportunities for researchers to exchange and discuss
scientific and engineering ideas at a stage before they have matured
to warrant conference or journal publication. ICSE Workshops also
serve as incubators for scientific communities that form and share a
particular research agenda.

ICSE 2015 Workshops may be either one or two days long and may be held
before or after the main conference. Participation in ICSE workshops
is typically open. ICSE workshops can produce workshop proceedings to
be published in the electronic ICSE proceedings.

* Proposal Submissions *

Proposals must not exceed five pages in length, must follow the ICSE
2015 formatting and submission instructions and must include the
following information, in the order specified:

4 pages

- full contact information for all organizers of the workshop and main
  contact person;
- desired length of the workshop (i.e., one or two days);
- desired workshop date(s) and scheduling constraints (workshops can
  be scheduled before or after the main conference);
- outline of the themes and goals of the workshop, including a brief
  abstract (less than 200 words) intended for the ICSE 2015 web site;
- concise motivation of the workshop's relevance to the field of
  software engineering;
- participant solicitation and selection process, including whether
  the workshop will be open or closed;
- desired minimum and maximum number of workshop participants,
  expected number of participants, and (in case of previously held
  workshops) number of registered attendees and web site for previous
  editions of the workshop;
- structure of the workshop and plans for generating and stimulating
  discussion;
- links to preliminary web site of the workshop and call for papers;
- a list of program committee members, including proposed and
  committed members; any equipment, room capacity, or other logistic
  constraints;
- a brief description of each organizer's background, including
  relevant past experience in organizing conferences and workshops.

  and practice
