Note: This email is being set to several lists,
so you may receive it multiple times.
It has come to the attention of the Programme Committee for this event that
the previous short title (SDL2007) gave the wrong impression that the event
is concerned only with the ITU Specification and Description Language. In
fact the invite was to submit papers on topics related to System Design
Languages in general that are or could be used for real time systems, such
as Telecommunications. This is a broader scope.
Fortunately since issuing the original call for papers, the timescale for
producing the proceedings for the event have become much clearer, and it is
now possible to extend the call for papers. You are encouraged to read the
revised call for papers with the scope 'System Design Languages' in mind and
consider submitting any suitable papers by 15th May 2007.
Authors need to be available between 16th June and 30th June for revision of
their papers and submission of final versions. As the deadline has been
extended, the many authors who have already submitted papers are allowed to
revise their submissions up to 15th May 2007.
While preference will be given to full papers, short papers (particularly
experience reports) will be considered.
Experience reports are inherently different from research papers, with
respect the criteria of scientific merit, novelty, and research
contribution. The main criteria is to share experience for the benefit of
others. For example to provide citable evidence of the effectiveness
(positive of negative) of particular approaches, or particular effective
techniques or obstacles in practice when applying a language or set of
languages. Anecdotal evidence is acceptable provided if well argued and the
author explains efforts made to gather evidence. Material should contain
comparisons and measurements of effectiveness wherever possible. A report
that simply states that System Z was successfully developed using technique
Y is a little use to others. A useful report would be something like: the
technique Y was used (in this case on the real example System Z) and to be
able to meet the requirements it was necessary to "..." otherwise "...", or
"..." was particularly effective/ineffective because "...". Other do not
want to know all the details of your project and its implementation, but
what helped or hindered the engineering that might be relevant to their own
projects, in particular unusual aspects of the project.
It is suggested the title starts with the words `Experience Report'.
