[Marco Kuhrmann]

CALL FOR WORKSHOP AND TUTORIAL PROPOSALS

The EASE 2015 Organizing Committee invites tutorial proposals for the
19th International Conference on Evaluation and Assessment in Software Engineering 
 

Workshops and tutorials at the 19th International Conference on Evaluation and Assessment in Software Engineering (EASE) complement and enhance the main conference program, offering a wider perspective around the conference topics. 

- Workshops are intended to provide an interactive forum for presenting novel results, and conduct in-depth discussions on a specific topic, possibly to coordinate work in an existing or emerging research community. 

- Tutorials are expected to provide insights into special topics of current and ongoing relevance to the conference focus areas.

We invite workshops and tutorials on interesting topics related to ongoing research or industrial projects. Workshops and tutorials can be either a half or full day. Proposers are expected to participate in organizing and running their workshop/tutorial. Workshops and tutorials will be scheduled by the EASE Organizing Committee to fit the overall program of the conference.

Accepted workshops and tutorials are documented in short summary papers (2 pages), which will be published in the main conference proceedings.
