*Early Career Researchers Forum (ECRF) – ICSA 2022*
Call for Papers
The goal of the Early Career Researchers Forum (ECRF-ICSA 2022) is to
inspire and bring together early career researchers in the field of
software architecture. The forum provides a vibrant place for discussing
potential and ongoing research in any stage, from ideas to results. The
forum strives to provide a friendly environment for early career
researchers to get feedback on their work, exchange experiences, ask
questions, and explore available research pathways. In addition, the
forum stimulates interaction between early career researchers and
experienced academic and industry members of the community by offering a
two-stage submission process that will enable early career researchers
to obtain one-on-one feedback on their papers before submitting them for
review.
Participation
Participation is open to anyone who considers themselves an early career
researcher, wanting to share research ideas and (preliminary or mature)
results with their peers, and looking for an opportunity to inspire and
be inspired, and to learn about research paths. Early career researchers
in any stage of their research, including postdocs, Ph.D. candidates,
undergraduate students, and industry researchers, are all welcome. In
addition, we highly encourage and invite early career researchers
presenting their work in the main ICSA conference to also participate in
this forum.
Topics
Areas of interest include software architecture, component-based
software engineering, and quality aspects of software and how these
relate to the design of software architectures, as provided by the scope
of the ICSA2022 conference.
ICSA Early Career Researcher Best Paper Award
The Early Career Researcher Best Paper Award may be given to the author
of the most promising idea/contribution presented at the Early Career
Researchers Forum. The award winner will be acknowledged during the main
conference and given the opportunity to present their work within the
main conference program.
Types of Submissions
There are three ways of contributing to the program of the forum:
·*Ongoing Research Papers (4 to 6 pages)* presenting previously
unpublished research, including motivation, goals, preliminary results,
planned next steps, and industry impact of ongoing research
·*Research Abstracts (2 pages)* outlining (preferably more mature)
research of early career authors that are also presenting in the
ICSA2022 main program, and would like to actively engage in the forum.
The research presented in the forum does not have to be the same
research presented in the main track. However, if it is the same
research, please note that these abstracts cannot simply be the same
abstracts from the paper in the main track. The two pages should contain
a short summary of the work, details of current and potential industry
impact, and ideas for future research related to this work that the
authors would like to discuss in this forum to obtain feedback
·*Emerging Ideas (2 pages)* outlining very early ideas on a possible
research topic, such as a potential dissertation topic, with the goal of
obtaining feedback from forum attendees
In all types of submissions, we challenge the authors to think about the
potential impact of their research on industrial practice (whether in
the near- or long-term, based on the nature of the research), and to
dedicate a section to the Industrial Impact of their work. The authors
of Ongoing Research Papers will be assigned an experienced mentor who
will help the author prepare for the actual submission (Stage 1), and
advise on potential areas or impacts that the authors may be missing.
The mentor’s feedback will need to be reflected in the revised
submission as a condition for the paper to be accepted (Stage 2).
*Recommendation Letter***
Ask your main research advisor (in case of research candidates) or
supervisor (in case of PhD graduates or industry researcher) for a
letter of recommendation. This letter should include:
·Your name and position
·Current status of your research
·An endorsement of the publication of your submission
The letter should be in PDF format and should be sent directly by your
advisor via email to both ECRF-ICSA2022 Co-Chairs. This recommendation
letter will be held confidential. The e-mail subject should have the
subject “ICSA2022-ECRF Recommendation” plus your Last Name. Deadline for
sending the recommendation letter: January 25, 2022.
Formatting and Submission Instructions
All submissions must conform to the Author Instructions, and be
submitted electronically via the EasyChair
<https://icsa-conferences.org/2022/conference-tracks/early-career-forum/>submission
system (Early Career Researchers Forum track), by the submission
deadline, and must not have been published before.
Important Dates
*Abstract submission*: December 1st, 2021
*Full paper submission*: December 8th, 2021
*Notification of acceptance*: January 14th, 2022
*Camera ready paper submission*: January 27th, 2022
*Notes*: All deadlines are 23:59h *AoE* (anywhere on Earth)
Publication and Attendance
All accepted contributions will be published in *ICSA 2022 Companion
proceedings*, and appear in IEEE Xplore Digital Library. At least one
author of an accepted contribution is required to register and present
the work at the conference. If you do not attend the forum your paper
will not be published. There is no option for remote participation.
Presentation and Discussion
To further facilitate the discussions around the presented research
topics, we assign discussants to each presentation. Please find the
description of the discussant below. presenter will give her/his talk
about their research. Following the presentation, the discussants
assigned to each paper will make brief comments (5 minutes), including
some combination of:
·how the paper made the discussant think differently about her or his
own work
·how the paper is related in some way to the discussant’s own work
·some advice for the authors in continuing their work
·identification of collaboration opportunities or synergies
·discussion questions based on the presented paper
