- PLEASE 2015 Call for Papers (ASCII Text, 4KB)
We invite short 4 page papers that focus on either
- an opportunity posed by a specific societal challenge for PLE research and practice or
- a concrete solution exemplifying successfully application of PLE techniques to a societal challenge.
Submissions in the second category might be based on PLE technologies that have been published earlier, but must emphasize aspects related to their applicability for solving a particular societal challenge.
Submissions should aim to answer the following questions:
For opportunity papers:
- What is the societal challenge addressed?
- Within this domain, what is the specific problem/challenge that relates to PLE?
- Demonstrate it on a concrete example.
- When would you consider the challenge resolved?
- How could the success be evaluated? Is there some key indicator to assess the success?
For solution papers:
- What is the societal challenge addressed?
- Within this domain, what is the specific problem/challenge that relates to PLE?
- Demonstrate the solution on a concrete example.
- Identify the technology underlying your solution.
- What are the solution’s benefits and limitations?
- Was your approach evaluated? How?
Submitted papers should be in English and conform to the ICSE 2015 Guidelines available online at http://2015.icse-conferences.org/submission-guidelines. Paper should be submitted online via EasyChair at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=please2015.
