Types of Presentations

Keynote Talks

At the Conference, keynote speakers are highly recognized international Software Engineering experts, invited by Program Committee to set the underlying tone and summarize the core messages of the conference and/or present their vision of the future of software. Often they are “founding fathers” of widely used technologies or approaches.

Also, Premier and Gold Sponsors are eligible to provide keynote presentation. In this case the name of a speaker and presentation title still is subject to approval by Program Committee. Conference sponsors usually tend to send their VPs or technical Fellows to deliver keynote presentations.

Invited Talks

Program Committee carefully selects the most prominent and respected local CEE software experts to deliver invited talks. Also, after each conference, the Organizing Committee conducts a survey aimed to identify the most interesting/useful/influential presentations. Authors of such presentations are usually selected next year to deliver invited talks at the Conference.

Regular (Oral) Presentations

The vast majority of presentations delivered at the Conference are regular (oral) talks. They are selected by an international Program Committee using double-blind peer review process: submitting authors are not informed of who reviews their papers, and the identity of the authors is concealed from the reviewers, lest the knowledge of authorship bias their review. There will be a 30-min timeslot allocated for each oral presentation in the conference schedule. This timeslot includes time for both actual presentation and Q&A.

Poster Papers

Poster papers will be printed and physically posted on the walls and special stands in the lobby of the conference venue. In the conference schedule, there will be specific timeframes when all the authors of the poster papers will stand new their papers and answer questions from the audience. Poster papers are selected by the Program Committee using the same double-blind review process.

Researchers and practitioners are encouraged to present their ongoing work and results on software engineering. Papers, presentations, topics for round-tables, and workshops are solicited for inclusion at the conference. Submissions will be reviewed by an international program committee. Please submit your proposals via the submission engine at https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/secr2009.

All submissions will be acknowledged within few days. Submissions will be reviewed for quality and relevance, and the acceptance decision will be emailed to the corresponding author.
Article template is available for download from http://cee-secr.org/docs/cee-secr-2009-template.doc

Please, remove all occurrences of authors’ names/affiliation from the submitted papers, as they will undergo double-blinded review. Authors’ names/affiliations will be added only to camera-ready versions of the accepted articles.

Papers can be written either in English or in Russian; however, each paper must have an abstract in both languages (up to 1000 characters). If needed, for English-speaking authors Program Committee will help translating their abstracts to Russian.

When you submit your paper, you are giving the rights to the conference committee to publish your articles in conference proceedings and reference them in conference materials such as booklets, newsletters, website, etc.

Speakers (authors of the accepted papers presenting at the conference) will get free passes to the event: one free pass per accepted paper.

A paper submitted to a conference will be considered to be a duplicate submission and rejected by that conference with no regard to the paper's merit if there is substantial overlap in the technical content of the conference submission and any other work that is:

• under review at another publication, or
  
• has been accepted by another publication, or
  
• has appeared in another publication, at any time before the conference review process is complete.
