Call for Papers:
We invite papers concerned with psychological aspects of software development. PPIG entertains a broad spectrum of research approaches, from theoretical perspectives drawing on psychological theory to empirical perspectives grounded in real-world experience, and is equally concerned with all aspects of programming and software engineering, from the design of programming languages to communication issues in software teams, and from computing education to high-performance professional practice. If you have any queries as to whether your topic falls within the remit of PPIG, then please do not hesitate to contact the Program Chair.
Themes can include, but are not limited to:
- Empirical studies of programming
- Programming education and skills acquisition
- Human centred design and evaluation of programming languages, tools and infrastructure
- Programming and human cognition
- Human Computer Interaction issues in programming
- Team/cooperative work in programming
- End user programming
- Distributed programming, globalisation, work in large teams
- Free/libre open source software development
- Software engineering methods, planning, estimation, agility etc.
- Gender, age, culture and programming
- New paradigms in programming
- Code quality, readability and re-use
- Mistakes, bugs, and error handling
- Working with notation
- Specialist and domain centred programming tools and languages
- Other approaches and insights are welcome...
Submission: Submissions should be 15 pages or less (short papers and work in progress reports are welcome). To format your paper please use the PPIG Word template or the PPIG Latex template. As in previous years, the programme committee will review all submitted papers and, based on their reviews, each accepted paper will be classified as a "Full Technical Paper", or a "Work in Progress Report". All papers accepted for presentation at PPIG 2008 will appear in the workshop proceedings and be archived on the PPIG website.
Papers for the workshop should be submitted to jim.buckley@ul.ie. The email title should read "PPIG08 Paper Submission: [Title of Paper]" and the attached paper should be in .pdf format. Authors will receive notification through the Program Chair no later than the 20th of June and will be expected to submit Camera-Ready versions by the 1st of August.
Deadline: The deadline for paper submission is 1st May 2008
Call for Tutorials:
Tutorials are intended to provide an in-depth review of a topic of interest. The program committee especially welcomes proposals for tutorials with hands-on exercises, and tutorials presenting practical ways to apply well-researched theories in practice.
Tutorial proposals will undergo a review and will be evaluated for relevance, anticipated interest, quality, and the availability of appropriate facilities.
Submission: Submission: The length of tutorial proposals must be 1-2 pages in PDF format and they must include the title of the tutorial, presenters and their background, description of the tutorial, anticipated duration, description of handouts and materials that will be provided to attendees, equipment requirements, and an abstract of at most 100 words that will be published in the workshop program.
Decisions on tutorial acceptance will be made within four weeks of submission. All contributions must be submitted by email to John Rooksby (rooksby@googlemail.com) with the title "PPIG08 tutorial submission".
Deadline: Rolling deadline until 1st May 2008.
Doctoral Consortium:
This year The Psychology of Programming Interest Group Workshop will again host a doctoral consortium. The event is for research students at all stages of doctoral study. The event will include brief introductions by each of the student participants (on the order of 10 minutes, plus time for questions, depending on the number of students involved) and interactive sessions on the process and nature of Ph.D. research. Experienced researchers, in addition to the organisers, will participate as 'discussants' to add different perspectives and to provide feedback on individual research programmes.
"PPIG is able to provide financial support to research students to attend the workshop. Please contact Maria Kutar (M.Kutar@salford.ac.uk) for details by 31 July 2008.
Submission: Participation applications must include a short research summary and be submitted by email to M.Kutar@salford.ac.uk with the title 'PPIG08 doctoral consortium submission'.
Deadline: The deadline is 31st July 2008
