Call for Contributions

Types of Technical Briefings

We are receiving proposals for three types of Technical Briefings:

  • Short Technical Brief: Speakers provide a focused introduction to an emerging topic in software engineering (e.g., software engineering practices for specific types of systems or emerging technologies). Duration: 90 minutes.

  • Comprehensive Technical Brief: Speakers provide a general state-of-the-art in the broader area of software engineering (e.g., empirical software engineering, search-based software engineering, machine learning). Duration: 180 minutes divided into two modular 90-minute sessions.

  • Hands-On: Speakers organize a tool-supported session on a topic with hands-on participation of attendees. Duration: 90 or 180 minutes (180 minutes should provide two modular 90-minute sessions).

Evaluation Criteria

The Technical Briefings Committee will review each proposal and select quality proposals that fit the evaluation criteria. Each proposal will be evaluated based on anticipated benefits for prospective participants in industry and academia and its fit within the program as a whole. Factors to be considered also include relevance, timeliness, importance, and audience appeal; suitability for presentation in the chosen format; effectiveness of teaching methods (especially relevant in the hands-on type); and experience and qualifications of the presenters.

Please note that proposals that focus on

  • Very narrow research topics with limited audience appeal

  • Commercial presentations that focus on specific tools

  • Marketing materials

are not eligible and will be desk-rejected.

How to Submit

Proposals should include a title, a description of the topic, and a paragraph explaining why the topic would be of interest to a broad section of the software engineering research community and industry. The proposals must be sent by the deadline of (January 8, 2024). A proposal should be no longer than 2 pages and must conform to the ACM conference submission and formatting instructions (https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template), plus one page for brief speaker information and biographies. In addition to the proposal, at least 3 representative sample slides from the intended tutorial presentation must be submitted. For hands-on submissions, an additional page with exercise details is required. The proposal, sample slides, and exercise details (hands-on only) must be submitted in a single PDF file with all fonts included. Proposals should be submitted electronically using HotCrp at https://icse2024-technical-briefings.hotcrp.com/.

Publication

The presenters of each accepted Technical Briefing will have the opportunity to publish a 2-page abstract in the ICSE 2024 Companion proceedings. The abstracts must be sent by the deadline of (January 25, 2024). They must conform to the ACM conference submission and formatting instructions (https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template) and must not exceed 2 pages, including all text, references, appendices, and figures. Further, upon acceptance, all presenters will be required to provide a short (1-2 minute) video describing their presentation topic to be placed on the ICSE website for publicity purposes.
