[FM-India] TASE 2022 (Cluj-Napoca, Romania) Call for workshops + deadline extension

[Étienne André]

** IMPORTANT (see below) **
TASE paper submission deadline is extended to 27th February


----------
Call for Workshops
----------

The TASE 2022 organizing committee invites proposals for workshops to be 
held in conjunction with the main event. Workshop proposals should be 
submitted by March 10, 2022.

The overall purpose of a workshop is to provide participants with the 
opportunity to present and discuss novel research ideas on active and 
emerging topics of Formal Methods and Software Engineering. Topics of 
the proposed workshops should, therefore, be aligned with those set 
forth in the call for papers for TASE conference.

Workshops can take on a number of forms including but not limited to 
being organized around emerging research areas, challenging problems and 
industrial applications. Workshops may include, for example – but not 
limited to – tutorials, keynote / invited speakers, contributed papers 
and presentations, panel discussions, even mini-competitions if 
appropriate for the content. A workshop can be one-day or one and 
half-day at max depending on the scope and the content.

Organizers of accepted workshops are expected to prepare a workshop 
webpage including introduction of the workshop and call for papers to 
publicize the workshop, gather submissions, conduct the reviewing 
process and decide upon the final workshop program. This webpage will be 
included in the TASE main website.

There are several options for the workshop proceedings: 1) electronic 
proceedings; 2) inclusion in the main TASE proceedings; 3) journal 
special issues; 4) other proceedings managed by the workshop organizers. 
It will be decided by the workshop organizers and the TASE steering 
committee according to the number of accepted papers and their contents.

Proposal details

Proposals should contain the following information:

     • Name, Affiliation, and email of the workshop organizers;
     • Workshop title;
     • A draft of workshop call for papers including: an introduction of 
the workshop objectives, topics, relevance to TASE. [max 2000 characters];
     • Workshop keywords;
     • Description of target audience and estimated number of 
participants [max 1500 characters];
     • Plan on Workshop duration, format, activities, and schedule [max 
1500 characters];
     • List of expected program committee members;
     • Preliminary list of invited speakers (if any).

Proposal submission

Workshop proposal should be sent by e-mail to tase-workshop2022 at irit.fr

Proposal evaluation criteria

All workshop proposals will be reviewed based on the following 
considerations:

     • Relevance of the workshop to the scope of TASE;
     • The workshop concerns a coherent and important technical topic of 
high interest in the community;
     • Likely impact on the target community, including likelihood of 
strong participation;
     • Confirmation to serve as program committee members from 
high-caliber and well respected researchers;
     • Confirmation of a well-respected keynote speaker or a tutorial 
presenter;
     • Commitment to design a workshop website to be referenced from the 
main TASE website.


Important dates

     • Workshop Proposal Submissions Deadline: March 10, 2022
     • Workshop Proposal Acceptance Notification: March 21, 2022
     • Suggested Deadline for workshop paper submissions: June 1st, 2022
     • Workshop dates: July 8-9, 2022

Scope
-----

TASE is an international symposium that aims to bring together researchers
and developers from academia and industry with interest in the theoretical
aspects of software engineering. Modern society is increasingly dependent
on software systems that are becoming larger and more complex. This poses
new challenges to current software engineering methodologies that need to
be enhanced using modern results from theoretical computer science. We
invite submission of research papers on topics covering all theoretical
aspects of software engineering, including those describing applications
of theoretical computer science in industrial applications and software
engineering methodologies.


Authors are invited to submit high quality technical papers describing
original and unpublished work in all theoretical aspects of software
engineering. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
