Call for Workshop Proposals
We solicit proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the main conference. Workshops can be full or half-day and should highlight a specific topic of interest related to software analysis, evolution, and reengineering. We encourage workshop organizers to include activities that provide their participants with a true workshop experience.
All workshops will tentatively be scheduled for the first day of the conference (March 4, 2025), the day before the main conference.
Should you be interested in joining SANER, please keep the following deadlines in mind:
Submission instructions
Proposal submission: By August 12, 2024, the workshop proposal (in the form of call for papers) should be submitted to the workshops EasyChair page: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=saner25workshops. The submission could be a PDF file (no more than two pages) or a public link to a call for papers webpage.
The call for papers should include a workshop title, a description of the workshop topic and scope, an indication of whether the workshop will take ½ day or a full day, a link to the workshop website, and the contact information. The website should be live and include (at least) the following information: the topic of the workshop, its scope, list of topics of interest, names of the organizing committee members and their affiliations, types of submissions and the deadlines (see below).
Evaluation criteria: The proposals will be evaluated by the workshops track chairs based on the novelty of the workshop topic, its importance to the field, as well as the composition of the organizing team.
Notification is to be expected on August 16, 2024.
Workshop PC and submission system: No later than mid-September 2024, the workshop PC should have been finalized and the paper submission system should be live. Workshop organizers are free to select EasyChair, HotCRP or any other commonly used paper submission system.
