Call for Papers

Scope

The Internetware 2024 Tool Demonstrations Track invites researchers and practitioners to present and discuss the most recent advances, experiences, and challenges in the field of software engineering supported by demos of new research tools, data, and other artifacts. We encourage innovative research demonstrations, which show early implementations of novel software engineering concepts and mature prototypes. The research demonstrations are intended to highlight underlying scientific contributions. Authors of regular research papers are also encouraged to submit an accompanying demonstration paper. Papers submitted to the tool demonstrations track should describe (a) novel early tool prototypes or (b) novel aspects of mature tools; with open-sourced code/data, and live demos (optional).

Evaluation Criteria

Each submission will be reviewed and evaluated in terms of the following quality criteria:

  • Significance: The extent to which the paper’s contributions can impact the field of software engineering, and under which assumptions (if any);
  • Novelty: The extent to which the contributions are sufficiently original concerning the state-of-the-art;
  • Presentation: The extent to which the paper’s quality of writing meets the high standards of Internetware, including clear descriptions, adequate use of the English language, absence of major ambiguity, clearly readable figures and tables, and adherence to the formatting instructions provided below;
  • Verifiability: The extent to which the paper includes sufficient information to understand how innovation works; to understand how data was obtained, analyzed, and interpreted; and to which extent the tool can be verified or replicated.

Formatting and Submission

  • All submissions must not exceed 4 pages for all text, figures, tables, and references. All submissions must be in English and PDF format. Submissions that do not comply with the above instructions will be desk rejected.
  • Please use the ACM Master article template, as can be obtained from the ACM Proceedings Template pages. Submissions to internetware 2024 conference meeting the above requirements can be made via the internetware 2024 submission site (https://internetware2024-tool.hotcrp.com/) by the deadline.
  • We encourage the authors to upload their paper info early (and can submit the PDF later) to properly enter conflicts for double-anonymous reviewing.
  • Submissions for the tool demo track do NOT follow a double-blind review process. If a tool track submission accompanies a submission to the research track (which is double-blind), please email the tool demonstration track chairs, notifying them about this. The chairs will ensure that tool papers and research papers are reviewed by different people to avoid revealing the authorship of research papers.

Tools and Data Availability

To promote replicability, we require that data sets be publicly available for download and use. We encourage the same for tools, ideally through their distribution with an open-source software license. Whenever the tool is not made publicly available, the paper must include a clear explanation for why this was not possible. Authors are also encouraged to distribute their demonstration in a form that can be easily used, such as a virtual machine image, a software container (e.g., Docker), or a system configuration (e.g., Puppet, Ansible, Salt, CFEngine). To further increase the visibility of the presented tools and data sets, we encourage all authors to produce a screencast presenting their tool. For the papers that will be accepted for presentation, accompanying screencasts will be linked from the demonstration track website. The authors can submit a link to the screencast together with their papers as an appendix that describes the way the demonstration will be carried out.

Important Dates

Tool Demonstrations Track Submissions Deadline: 30 April 2024

Tool Demonstrations Track Submissions Deadline: 7 May 2024

Tool Demonstrations Track Acceptance Notification: 30 May 2024

Tool Demonstrations Track Camera Ready: 15 June 2024

Note: All in AoE time (Anywhere on Earth, UTC-12).

Conference Attendance Expectation

If a submission is accepted, at least one author of the paper is required to register for and attend the full 3-day technical conference and present the paper. The presentation is expected to be delivered in person.
