What
The goal of BENEVOL is to bring together researchers from Belgium, The Netherlands and neighboring countries that are working in the field of software evolution. BENEVOL offers an informal forum to meet and to discuss new ideas, important problems and obtained research results.
How
BENEVOL accepts papers in two categories: position papers (about early research and work in progress where you want some feedback from the community) and publication summaries (overview of research results already published or ready to be submitted to a conference or a journal). Prospective speakers are invited to submit their paper (max 4 pages main text + 2 pages of references), marking explicitly which category it belongs to. Based on these submissions, the organization will invite the selected papers and devise a program with plenty of discussions.
- Position papers. These papers will undergo a mild yet constructive review. We explicitly sollicit papers in the early stages of research, which are still rather rough at the edge and would benefit from feedback of the community. Position papers will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee, assessing whether the paper is within the scope of BENEVOL (i.e. software evolution). After reviewing, authors will be asked to improve their papers and submit a camera ready version of. The camera ready version of the position papers will be collected on the BENEVOL web-site.
- Publication Summaries. These papers will not receive reviews. The organisation committee will assess whether the paper is within the scope of BENEVOL (i.e. software evolution). Particular interest will be for publication summaries who try to provoke discussion, try challenging new avenues, ….
