Tcl/Tk 2005 First Call for papers. ===================================
Tcl/Tk 2005 will be held in Portland, Oregon USA in late October or early November. The program committee asks all people using and developing with Tcl/Tk and extensions to submit papers and proposals for presentations at this conference.
Past conferences have seen submissions covering a wide variety of topics including and not limited to:
At this point we are requesting submissions of:
Please send abstracts and proposals to tcl2005 (at) nscl (dot) msu (dot) edu
Important target dates: =======================
July 1, 2005 - Abstracts and proposals due. July 31, 2005 - Notification to authors. Sep 15, 2005 - Author materials due.
The submissions should consist of an abstract of about 100 words and a summary of maximum two pages. Omit extraneous or redundant information. Length is not a direct factor in judging the quality of the submission.
The authors of oral presentations will have 20-25 minutes to present the paper at the conference.
The program committee will review and evaluate papers according to the following criteria:
Proposals may report on commercial or non-commercial systems, but those with only blatant marketing content will not be accepted.
Application and experience papers need to strike a balance between background on the application domain and the relevance of Tcl/Tk to the application. Application and experience papers should clearly explain how the application or experience illustrates a novel use of Tcl/Tk, and what lessons the Tcl/Tk community can derive from the application or experience to apply to their own development efforts.
Papers accompanied by non-disclosure agreement forms will be returned to the author(s) unread. All submissions are held in the highest confidentiality prior to publication in the Proceedings, both as a matter of policy and in accord with the U. S. Copyright Act of 1976.
The primary author for each accepted paper will receive registration to the Technical Sessions portion of the conference at a reduced rate.
The program committee also welcomes proposals for panel discussions of up to 90 minutes. Proposals should include a list of confirmed panelists, a title and format, and a panel description with position statements from each panelist. Panels should have no more than four speakers, including the panel moderator, and should allow time for substantial interaction with attendees. Panels are not presentations of related research papers.
