Paper submissions for Resolve 2006 take the form of short position papers. Position papers should be targeted at raising a question or framing an issue for discussion during the workshop. Position papers are limited to 2500 words (not including figures or references).

Papers must be formatted as simple, vanilla HTML. HTML generated by programs (such as Microsoft Word) that attempt to force the look of a printed document are especially discouraged. You can use the workshop's HTML position paper template as a reference in formatting your submission.

All submissions must include the following information at the beginning of the document:

  • Title
  • Author name, affiliation, mailing address, e-mail address, phone number, fax number, and URL (if available)
  • Paper category (either position paper or technical paper) and emphasis (either research or education)
  • A one paragraph abstract
  • A list of relevant keywords

Position papers should also:

  • Clearly identify a specific issue or question that you would like to see discussed in one of the workshop tracks, and show how it relates to the workshop's topics.

  • Take a position with respect to the issue or problem raised.

  • Justify the position.

  • Compare the position taken with past and current work related to the issue.

  • Conclude by identifying specific discussion goals derived from this issue. In other words, how would you like to shape the discussions at the workshop and their results?

  • Include necessary references at the end.

Position papers may take positions on research topics, describe experience reports, present case study summaries, outline potential or completed research results, suggest classroom techniques, or propose other topics of interest to the workshop audience.

Papers will be submitted on-line. The proceedings will be published electronically on this web site two weeks before the workshop.
