Question 4: WORKSHOPS, ETC.
Does your community provide venue for work not mature enough for your major conferences, such as:
- workshop co-located at conferences
- stand-alone workshops
- panels
- crazy idea sessions
On balance, are these other venues effect for advancing your field? What mechanisms, if any, do you use allow good papers from these venues to later achieve wider dissemination?
SIGGRAPH
- crazy idea sessions
- SIGGRAPH does all of these things annually as well as implement new programs (panels is a permanent program) . For example, Web Graphics was funded for a three-year period to assess the need for permanent implementation as a separate program or blending this content into other existing programs. Other experimental programs have included SIGGRAPH TV, Online Services, Community Outreach, SIGKids, to name few.
- On balance, are these other venues effect for advancing your field?
- What mechanisms, if any, do you use allow good papers from these venues
to later achieve wider dissemination?
- Most of SIGGRAPH's experimental programs have been successful and have been necessary in promoting the different areas of visual fields and education. The technology and content of some of these programs live on in the more established programs after the end of the experimental runs.
DAC
- crazy idea sessions
- We have all of the above except crazy idea sessions. They all work well.
- On balance, are these other venues effect for advancing your field?
- What mechanisms, if any, do you use allow good papers from these venues
to later achieve wider dissemination?
- We also have a student design contest, and some of the top ones get in our technical program. This gives them a wider dissemination.
ICSE
- On balance, are these other venues effect for advancing your field?
What mechanisms, if any, do you use allow good papers from these venues to later achieve wider dissemination?
- Crazy ideas sessions were discussed above under NON-INCREMENTAL. There are numerous co-located and stand-alone workshops in software engineering. Regrettably many of these are becoming more like conferences, with solicitation and publication of conference-length papers, and serial presentation of conference-length talks. Thus it is difficult for papers from these workshops to receive any wider dissemination than they receive as papers in the workshop proceedings, since any attempt to submit similar ideas and text to a conference would be viewed as a re-submission of published work.
