STAF 2016: Software Technologies: Applications and Foundations
July 4-8, 2016, Vienna, Austria
http://staf2016.conf.tuwien.ac.at
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Call for Workshops
http://staf2016.conf.tuwien.ac.at/CfW
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Software Technologies: Applications and Foundations (STAF) is a
federation of leading conferences on software technologies. It was
formed after the end of the successful TOOLS federated event
(http://tools.ethz.ch) in 2012, providing a loose umbrella organisation,
with a steering committee that aims to provide continuity.
The STAF federated event runs annually; the conferences that participate
may vary from year to year, but all focus on practical and foundational
advances in software technology. The conferences address all aspects of
software technology, from object-oriented design, testing, formal
approaches to modelling and verification, transformation, model-driven
engineering, aspect-oriented techniques, and tools.
STAF 2016 will bring together
- 9th International Conference on Model Transformation (ICMT)
- 9th International Conference on Graph Transformation (ICGT)
- 12th European Conference on Modelling Foundations and Applications (ECMFA)
- 10th International Conference on Tests and Proof (TAP)
- 14th International Conference on Software Engineering and Formal
Methods (SEFM).
STAF 2016 will also host a number of satellite events including
workshops between July 4-8 2016. Workshops will provide a collaborative
forum for groups of typically 15 to 35 participants to exchange recent
and/or preliminary results, to conduct intensive discussions on a
particular topic, or to coordinate efforts between representatives of a
technical community. They are intended as a forum for lively discussion
of innovative ideas, recent progress, or practical experience on
specific aspects, specific problems, or domain-specific needs. Each
workshop should provide a balanced distribution of its time for both
presentation of papers and discussions. We encourage prospective
workshop organizers to submit proposals for highly-interactive
workshops. Both research-oriented and applied topics are welcome. The
duration of each workshop is either half day or full day.

Workshop Proposal Guidelines
---------------------------
Your proposal document must contain the following information:
1. General Information
1.1 Event title
1.2 Organizers and primary contact (name/affiliation/email)
1.3 Abstract (200 words), intended for the STAF 2016 website
1.4 Desired length of the workshop (half day or full day)
1.5 Related STAF conference (among ICMT, ICGT, ECMFA, TAP, SEFM).
If more than one, please indicate the most related one.
2. Objectives and Scope
2.1 Motivation
2.2 Objectives
2.3 Intended audience
2.4 Relevance (in particular to the STAF community)
2.5 Previous events including, where applicable,
* a link to the website,
* the number of submitted and accepted papers, and
* the number of attendees
3. Organization Details
3.1 Details on the organizers (150 words max each), including
relevant past experience in workshop organization
3.2 Preliminary list of program committee members
(either proposed or confirmed -- please specify)
4. Workshop Format
4.1 Intended paper format (number of pages; types of papers, e.g.,
full papers, work-in-progress papers, practitioners' reports,
posters)
4.2 Paper evaluation process
4.3 Intended publication of accepted papers
(please see proceedings options stated below)
4.4 Intended workshop format
(number of presentations, planned keynotes, panels, etc.)
4.5 How many participants do you expect (please explain your
educated guess)?
4.6 Specific requirements (e.g., equipment, room capacity)
For Section 4.4, please clarify in particular why participants should
submit to your workshop instead of to a conference or journal on related
topics. If you do not plan to apply some interactive parts (such as
interactive brainstorming, prototyping, benchmarking, experimentation,
...) please clarify why you still think a physical workshop is the
appropriate format.
5. Additional Material
5.1 Event Web page (URL of the draft Web page, if one exists)
5.2 Draft Call for Papers for the workshop (a one-page Call for
Papers that you intend to send out if your workshop is accepted)

Submissions
---------------------------
Please ensure that you adhere to the above workshop proposal guidelines
providing all requested information using at most six pages (not
including the draft Call for Papers).
Submit your workshop proposal in PDF using the Springer LNCS style
(see http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0)
to EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=staf2016workshops
Proposals will be selected based on their relevance to the conferences’
aims, beneficiaries, and timely advances in their respective topics. In
particular, proposals will be evaluated according to the following criteria:
- potential to advance the state of research and practice
- organizers' experience and ability to lead a successful event
- meaningful use of methods that activate the audience
- balance and synergy between the proposed topics
- continuity of workshop series
