Educators Symposium @ MODELS

Paper Submission

Three forms of submission are possible. Papers should follow the format specified for Lecture Notes in Computer Science.

Full Papers (maximum of 12 pages in LNCS format). These papers should be in the form of experience or research papers presenting contribution to knowledge in the field of software modeling education and training.

Short Position Papers (around 5 pages in LNCS format). These papers should present authors’ position on one or more of the topics of the symposium, based on certain teaching experience or preliminary research results. The presented ideas need not be mature and might be submitted by a member of community interested in discussing them for future development.

Informal Submissions (from 1 to 3 pages, no specific format, LNCS preferred). These submissions can present individual “educational artifacts” or propose certain activity during the symposium. This might include artifact descriptions, educational event reports, interactive games and other activities, classroom films, panels, discussion forums, posters, or other.

The main criteria for selection will be novelty of idea or solution presented and relevance to the topics of the symposium.

Submission procedure: Please send your submission by e-mail with the subject “EduSymp” to Michał Śmiałek, smialek--at--iem-dot-pw-dot-edu-dot-pl.

Publication: All the accepted papers will be published as chapters in a book with ISBN by the Warsaw University of Technology. Informal submissions will be combined into a summary paper (with cooperation of submitters) and published as above. It is planned that selected papers would be published in the LNCS post-conference volume.
