Co-Located Workshops


Workshop Proposal Submission


Potential workshop organizers should submit a proposal to [email protected] that includes the name, affiliation, email and post address, telephone number, and a brief bio of each organizer. The proposal should also discuss the following aspects of the workshop:

  • Expected length (half day or one day)
  • Scope and structure
  • List of suggested program committee members
  • Paper solicitation, review, and selection
  • Target attendees and recruitment
  • Expected number of participants
  • History of past workshops
  • Link to preliminary website of the workshop with a CFP posted

A copy of the CFP should also be included. The maximum length of each proposal is five (5) pages in the QRS conference proceedings format (PDF | Word DOCX | Latex).

After a proposal is accepted, organizers have two options to create a website for their workshop:

  • Submit required information (description and a list of topics interested, CFP, names of organizing and program committee members, etc.) and let the conference create the website. Refer to the Workshop on Automated and Intelligent Software Testing as an example.
  • Prepare the website by themselves with appropriate URLs linked to the home page of QRS 2021 and the submission page of their workshop.

No matter which option is selected, all the papers will be submitted via a central submission site with one separate page for each track/workshop. Organizers will have the admin account for their own workshop.
