Starting Comments

Many groups had workshops co-located with conferences.

SIGIR

We have about 10 workshops per year co-located with the conference (on the "workshop day", the day after the main conference ends). Turnout is very good, at all levels of the community (junior to senior).

SIGPLAN

SIGPLAN conferences tend to have many workshops co-located with conferences, often as many as six or seven. There are some number of stand alone workshops, but not so many.

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.
