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 Short Abstract Papers (SAP): these papers present unpublished ideas that are still in their seminal form and want to be presented by the authors to receive feedback before going on with proper full papers.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 will be through the EasyChair conference system. Details will be announced later.

All the submitted papers will be peer reviewed by the committee members and a team of co-reviewers. Each paper will be reviewed by three different people.

After the notification of acceptance, the authors will be asked regarding whether they want to have the paper published on the DEPLOY website or not. Papers with specific copyright or confidentiality constraints will not be published.

Call for Reviewers

An internal event like the DEPLOY annual plenary meeting is an excellent opportunity for aspiring researchers to get actively involved in the review process. We are seeking scholars interested in serving on our volunteer Editorial Review Board. We are happy to accept Ph.D. students and post docs to complement our more experienced reviewers.

The papers to be reviewed will be available after 11/09/09, and the reviews must be completed by 30/09/09.
