Guidelines for organizing a SIGSOFT-Sponsored Workshop
SIGSOFT encourages and sponsors workshops in all areas related to software engineering. The general benefits of and requirements for SIGSOFT sponsorship are the same as for conferences. In comparison to a conference, however, a workshop is a technical meeting that:- reports on work in progress,
- has a narrow focus,
- has sessions that enable interaction among workshop attendees, and
- is relatively low cost.
SIGSOFT especially encourages workshops that collocate with SIGSOFT-sponsored conferences. One advantage of collocation is that the budgeting process is fairly simple, usually amounting to a one-page budget that can be handled using email.
To apply for sponsorship of a workshop, follow the sponsorship guidelines.
SIGSOFT workshops usually result in a "succeedings", which is written
sometime soon after the event and which serves as a public record of the
discussions held at the workshop. The workshop succeedings usually are
suitable for publication in SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes (SEN).
If you wish to publish the succeedings in SEN, please contact the editor at least six months in advance.
You can find an example here
of a succeedings previously published in SEN.
