Research Students Forum at ENASE 2010

ENASE 2010 Research Students Forum http://www.enase.org/RS_Forum.htm ENASE 2010 (http://www.enase.org/) will feature the Research Students Forum (RSF). The forum will accept papers authored by students, most likely PhD students. Papers will be evaluated along the usual conference criteria and must clearly address the evaluation spirit of the conference, focusing on the appraisal or assessment of a novel approach to software engineering or on a critique of a popular approach. The RSF recognizes that what research students usually lack in their initial stages are the research techniques and "best practices" that more seasoned academics often have at their disposal (or should have). We are referring to the ability to: · Formulate a well-defined research question and express it concisely. · Differentiate between what can be done from what should be done (i.e. find a rationale for their interests). · Avoid making bold statements, back their claims with facts or other research and construct evidence from analytical reasoning and/or empirical observation. · Communicate in a clear and simple way, avoiding unnecessary phrases and obscure language constructs. The RSF will inevitably bring the above issues forward by the very nature of ENASE, i.e. evaluation of novelty approaches. All accepted RSF papers will be published in the main ENASE Proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and on CD-ROM support. Details of what is expected of papers submitted by research students to the RSF will be available in the separate Call for RSF Papers on the ENASE website. http://www.enase.org/RS_Forum.htm RSF Important Dates Regular Paper Submission: April 06, 2010 Authors Notification: May 04, 2010 Final Paper Submission and Registration: May 19, 2010 Conference Date: July 22-24, 2010 Research Students Forum Chair Dr Cesar Gonzalez-Perez The Heritage Laboratory (LaPa) Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) http://www.verdewek.com/work
