Call for Papers

The second DEPLOY annual plenary meeting will be held this year from 21st to 23rd of October in Aix-en-Provence, France. The main difference with respect to the past meeting will be in a significant amount of time dedicated to technical presentations of conference-like papers. We invite all the academic and industrial partners to submit papers about the work they carried out inside the DEPLOY project.

We expect to have submissions belonging to the following categories and we will give to any of these a space proportional to the number of papers received:

1. Full Original Papers (FOP): these works have to be never submitted before to any other workshop/conference/journal but they have to be about ideas that have passed their seminal form. We suggest these papers to be contained in 12 pages LNCS format.
2. Full Published Papers (FPP): these papers can have already been published in any workshop/conference proceedings or journal but the authors intend to submit them again for educative or promotional purposes inside the DEPLOY community. Copyright is not an issue since the work will not be formally published and the presentation will remain internal to the project. We suggest these papers to be contained in 15 pages LNCS format.
3. Short Abstract Papers (SAP): these papers present unpublished ideas that are still in their seminal form and want to be presented by the authors to receive feedback before going on with proper full papers. We expect these papers to be presented in a known/unknown form with a number of open questions for discussion. We suggest these papers to be contained in 6 pages LNCS format.
4. Tool Demo Papers (TDP): these papers present works done on tools. A demo is thus expected. We suggest these papers to be contained in 6 pages LNCS format.

Submissions

The papers should be submitted electronically via the EasyChair website: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dtw09 If there is any problem during submission please contact Manuel Mazzara manuel.mazzara@newcastle.ac.uk.

All submitted papers will be peer reviewed by the committee members and a team of co-reviewers. Please specify if the contents of your paper are confidential. Confidential papers will only be reviewed by internal DEPLOY project members and will not be published.

Please note that the DEPLOY plenary meeting is a DEPLOY internal event. Therefore we can only accept papers from official DEPLOY members.
