+----------------------------------------------------------------------+

== Important dates ==
Paper submission deadline: February 26, 2016
Notification of acceptance: March 12, 2016
Camera ready version: March 25, 2016

== Description ==
The ESSoS Doctoral Symposium 2016 will be held in Egham, United Kingdom
on Wednesday, April 6, 2016, as a satellite event of the ESSoS 2016
Symposium.

Following the aim of the past ESSoS-DS editions, the scope of this
year's event will be once more focused on providing PhD students an
opportunity to discuss their research in Engineering Secure Software
and Systems (ESSoS) in an international forum, and with a panel of
well-known experts in the field.

Following last year's successful idea the Symposium aims on bringing
together a broad range of students: PhD students at the start of their
trajectory, students who are about to finish (what are the pitfalls in
the final stages?) and students in the middle (aiming for the first
top-level publication).

Students will have the occasion to discuss, in a welcoming and informal
atmosphere, the goals already achieved or planned, the research
challenges they are interested in, the projects they are working on,
the facilities they are developing, the problems they fight to solve
and are solving in their doctoral work.

During the Doctoral Symposium students will receive useful feedback
from senior researchers, industrial partners and experts. It will also
be a good opportunity for meeting and sharing experiences with other
PhD students that are addressing similar topics, or are at a similar
stage in their doctoral work. This way, the students will obtain
guidance both on the academic content of their current work and on
potential future research trajectories.

== Scope ==
PhD students carrying out research in Engineering Secure Software and
Systems are invited to submit a position paper to the PhD Symposium.

Short papers will be peer-reviewed by the Symposium's program committee
members. The criteria used for accepting a paper include:

- Contribution of the work to the ESSoS field
- Originality of the work
- Overall quality of the position paper

== Topics ==
PhD proposals fitting into the ESSoS conference topics are especially
encouraged. This includes but is not limited to:

- Secure software engineering
- Security testing
- Systematic support for best practices
- Security requirements and policies
- Designing traditional and cloud-based systems for security and privacy
- Threat modeling and analysis of vulnerabilities
- Specification and verification of security and privacy
- Programming languages for security
- Security assurance cases
- Assurance, certification, and accreditation
- Trust modeling and analysis
- Digital forensics
- Security economics

Accepted position papers will be presented during the ESSoS 2016
Doctoral Symposium and will be published on the ESSoS website (no
formal proceedings). Presenters of the Doctoral Symposium will get an
opportunity to present their work in poster format during the main
program of ESSoS 2016.

== Submission Instructions ==
Position papers should be two to six pages and formatted according to
the LNCS guidelines. Position papers should include:

- Author names and affiliations (PhD student + contributing team
    members if applicable)
- Abstract (maximum 200 words)
- The problem that the research addresses, and the motivation for
    solving it
- Research methodology (to be) used to address the problem
- Main (potential) contributions to the state of the art
- Description of the work done to date (including results /
    publications), and a tentative research plan
- Late stage students: The synergy and cohesion between the results,
    and the approach on how to complete the thesis

Some PhD students who have delivered a top publication in the midst of
their trajectory will be invited to present a testimonial; anybody can
volunteer by sending a short email to the DS Chair (referring to their
actual top publication).

AIM:


BigDat 2016 will be a research training event addressed to graduates
and postgraduates in the first steps of their academic career. With a
global scope, it aims at updating them about the most recent advances in
the critical and fast developing area of big data, which covers a large
spectrum of current exciting research and industrial innovation with an
extraordinary potential for a huge impact on scientific discoveries,
medicine, engineering, business models, and society itself. Renowned
academics and industry pioneers will lecture and share their views with
the audience. 

Most big data subareas will be displayed, namely:
foundations, infrastructure, management, search and mining, security and
privacy, and applications. Main challenges of analytics, management and
storage of big data will be identified through 4 keynote lectures, 20
six-hour courses, and 1 round table, which will tackle the most active
and promising topics. The organizers are convinced that outstanding
speakers will attract the brightest and most motivated students.
Interaction will be a main component of the event. An open session will
give participants the opportunity to present their own work in progress
in 5 minutes. 

ADDRESSED TO: 

Graduates and postgraduates from around
the world. There are no formal pre-requisites in terms of academic
degrees. However, since there will be differences in the course levels,
specific knowledge background may be assumed for some of them. BigDat
2016 is also appropriate for more senior people who want to keep
themselves updated on recent developments and future trends. All will
surely find it fruitful to listen and discuss with major researchers,
industry leaders and innovators. 

REGIME: 

In addition to keynotes,
2-3 courses will run in parallel during the whole event. Participants
will be able to freely choose the courses they will be willing to attend
as well as to move from one to another.

SCOPE

COORDINATION 2016 is the premier forum for publishing research results and experience reports on software technologies for collaboration and coordination in concurrent, distributed, and complex systems. The key focus of the conference is the quest for high-level abstractions that can capture interaction patterns and mechanisms occurring at all levels of the software architecture, up to the end-user domain. COORDINATION 2016 seeks high-quality contributions on the usage, study, formal analysis, design, and implementation of languages, models, and techniques for coordination in distributed, concurrent, pervasive, and parallel software-intensive computing systems. COORDINATION 2016 seeks as well to adapt and integrate traditional COORDINATION techniques in the realm of multi-agent systems (MAS), which typically involve more coarse-grained (cognitive, intelligent, goal-oriented) components.

Main topics of interest encompass all areas of coordination, including (but not limited to) coordination related aspects of:

* Models and paradigms
* Programming abstractions and languages
* Foundations, types and semantics
* Specification and verification
* Middlewares and architectures
* Distributed, mobile and networked computing
* Parallel and high-performance computing
* Nature- and bio-inspired approaches
* Self-adaptation, self-organisation and autonomic computing
* Collective systems, ensembles, federations, and systems-of-systems
* Teamwork, distributed problem solving and collective intelligence
* Multiagent systems, auction, negotiation, argumentation, and rational agents
* Trust, policies, reputation and security
* Applications and case studies


SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION

We solicit papers describing thorough and complete research results and/or experience reports on applications and cases studies of coordination. The conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the LNCS Series.

Contributions must be written in English and report on original, unpublished work not submitted for publication elsewhere (cf. IFIP's codes of conduct). The submissions must not exceed 16 pages in length, including figures and references, prepared using Springer's LNCS style. Submissions not adhering to the above specified constraints may be rejected without review.

Papers should be submitted as PDF or PS via EasyChair:
  https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=coordination2016


POST-PROCEEDINGS PUBLICATION

Relevant, high-quality papers will be invited to a special issue of a highly reputed journal. Previous special issues are under preparation within the journal on Logical Methods in Computer Science (http://www.lmcs-online.org/).

CALL FOR PAPERS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1st Workshop on Continuous Software Engineering (CSE 2016)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://cse2016.swc-rwth.de/

In conjunction with Software Engineering 2016
Vienna, February 23, 2016

Scope of the workshop:
----------------------
In order to develop and deliver high-quality products to their customers, software
companies have to adopt state-of-the-art software development processes. To face this
challenge, companies are applying innovative methods, approaches and techniques like
agile methods, DevOps, Continuous Delivery, test automation, infrastructure as code or
container-based virtualization.

These new approaches have a high impact on the specification, design, development,
maintenance, operation and the evolution of software systems. Therefore, common software
engineering activities, organizational forms and processes have to be questioned,
adapted and extended to ensure continuous and unobstructed soft-ware development
(Continuous Software Engineering). So far, there is a lack of systematic approaches to
face these challenges.

The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss innovative solutions, ideas and
experiences in the area of Continuous Software Engineering (CSE).

Workshop topics:
----------------
The specific topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to:
* DevOps & Release Engineering
* Approaches to Continuous Integration/Delivery/Deployment
* Infrastructure as Code
* Test Automation & Optimization
* Monitoring & Performance
* Security for DevOps
* Provisioning of Software & Infrastructure
* Application Virtualization with Container
* Engineering of Deployment Pipelines
* Quality & Metrics for DevOps
* Design for Scalability
* Organizational issues for CSE
* Continuous Delivery for Requirements Engineering/Early Prototyping
* Change Management - Handling user feed-back
* Teaching CSE approaches
* Software Architectures for CSE
* Microservices
* Software Development Lifecycle for CSE

Submission guidelines:
----------------------
We solicit two types of submissions: full papers (up to 8 pages) and short papers
(up to 4 pages). Full papers present original and evaluated research whereas short
papers describe novel ideas, identified challenges, and especially experience reports
related to the workshop's theme. We encourage you to submit a contribution, both from a
research and an industry perspective. All submissions will be peer reviewed and judged
on the basis of their clarity, relevance, and interest to the workshop participants.
Paper submissions must be in English and conform to the LNI format.
Papers are to be submitted electronically to the CSE2016 EasyChair paper submission system.
The workshop proceedings will be published at CEUR-WS.
Authors of accepted papers have to register for the workshop.
