Research Papers
Authors are invited to submit papers describing original research in all areas of SE education and training. Papers describing theoretical or empirical research, new techniques and tools, novel interpretation and in-depth case studies are all welcome. Submissions should be original and should not have been published previously or currently be under consideration for publication elsewhere.
Paper submissions will be formally reviewed and evaluated based on originality, technical quality and relevance to the field of software engineering education in accordance with IEEE requirements. Research papers will be double-blind reviewed. Please ensure there is no author identification information in either the paper or the properties of the document.
Please read the CSEE&T Researchers Guide prior to preparing your paper.
The paper length is limited to 8 pages, formatted according to IEEE 6" x 9" specifications.
See the IEEE formatting requirements (IEEEInst6x9.pdf) (Microsoft Word Template) for full formatting details. The official directory at the IEEE Computer Society site contains other formatting files, including a LaTeX style file.
Experience Reports
The objective of experience reports is to discuss results (both good and bad), obstacles, and lessons learned associated with education and training for SE from the perspective of practitioners in industry or government. Such "real world" experience shared with educators provides valuable input into future directions for education and allows others to learn from successes and failures.
Experience Reports may be submitted either as full papers (complying with the submission requirements and dates of Research Papers) or as Short Papers.
One author from each accepted paper is required to register as a delegate and present the paper at the conference.
Experience Reports submitted as full papers will be formally reviewed and published in the Conference Proceedings.
Short Papers
Short paper submissions that address software engineering education and training topics are also invited. Short papers may discuss an idea at an early stage, or a promising idea that may lack complete evaluation.
The paper length for short papers is limited to 4 pages, formatted according to IEEE 6" x 9" specifications.
Short papers will be reviewed. Each accepted short paper will be presented by an author in a conference session, and will appear in the IEEE digital library.
The abstract only of short papers will appear in the conference proceedings.
Posters
Emerging ideas for research, teaching practice, or tools can be presented as posters. The posters are evaluated based on their originality and the possible future contribution to the field of SE Education & Training.
Poster acceptance is based on a 300 word abstract of the work to be presented, formatted according to IEEE 6" x 9" specifications.
Authors of posters are not required to register for the conference, but, if attending, can be scheduled to talk about their work with conference participants.
The abstract only of posters will appear in the conference proceedings.
Workshops
Chair: Gil Taran, Carnegie Mellon University, USA
Workshop of various lengths will be included in the conference program. These enable participants to exchange experiences and opinions. Workshop organisers should have a strategy for managing attendance.
Please submit your 2 page proposals directly to the Workshops Chair, detailing
- the topic, theme and goals
- presenter/s and their affiliations
- intended audience and the preparation required of them
- activities and format
- anticipated time requirements.
The proposal should be formatted according to IEEE 6" x 9" specifications.
Once a workshop has been accepted, Workshop organisers are responsible for authoring a call for participation and submitting it to the Publicity Chair as well as advertising their workshops in appropriate places to attract attendees.
Tutorials
Chair: Helen Edwards, University of Sunderland, UK
Tutorials enable participants to learn more about a topic relevant to the conference theme, and will normally take place over either 1/2 day or a full day
Please submit your 4 page proposals directly to the Tutorials Chair, detailing
- the topic, theme and goals in detail
- presenter/s and an indication of their expertise in the topic proposed
- intended audience and the preparation required of them
- discussion of how the tutorial will be presented
- anticipated time requirements.
The proposal should be formatted according to IEEE 6" x 9" specifications.
Panels
Chair: Daniel Berinson, Systec Engineering Pty Ltd, Australia
Panel sessions allow the audience to interact with panellists who provide an engaging, informative and entertaining discussion of a timely topic from multiple perspectives.
A panel session proposal is evaluated by its anticipated impact on discussions during the conference.
Please submit your proposals directly to the Panels Chair, detailing:
- the topic and how it meets the needs of the CSEE&T audience (1 page),
- biographies and position statements of each of the panellists (maximum 1 page)
- biography of the proposed moderator.
The Panel session moderator should have a strategy for promoting discussion between the panellists and the audience.
The proposal should be formatted according to IEEE 6" x 9" specifications.
