EclipseCon Europe 2017, Modeling Symposium

Ed, Philip and I are organizing the Modeling Symposium for the EclipseCon Europe 2017 in Ludwigsburg. It is scheduled for the second day of the conference, i.e., Wednesday, October 25th, 2017. The symposium aims to provide a forum for community members to present a brief overview of their work. We offer 10 minute lightning slots (including questions) to facilitate a broad range of speakers. The primary goal is to introduce interesting, new technological features. This targets mainly modeling projects which are otherwise not represented at the conference.

If you are interested in giving a talk, please send a short description (a few sentences) to [email protected]. Depending on the number, we might have to select among the submissions.

Deadline for submisson: Friday, September 8th, 2017

Please adhere to the following guidelines:

• Please provide sufficient context. Talks should start with a concise overview of what the presenter plans to demonstrate, or what a certain framework offers.  Even more important, explain how and why this is relevant.
• Do not bore us! Get to the point quickly.  You do not have to use all your allocation. An interesting 3 minute talk will have a bigger impact than a boring 10 minute talk. We encourage you to plan for a 5 minute talk, leaving room for 5 minutes of discussion.
• Keep it short and sweet, focus on the most important aspects. A conference offers the major advantage of getting in contact with people who are interested in your work. So consider the talk more as a teaser to prompt follow-up conversations than a forum to demonstrate or discuss technical details in depth.
• A demo is worth a thousand slides. We prefer to see how your stuff works rather than be told about how it works with illustrative slides.  Please restrict the slides to  summarize your introduction or conclusion.

Looking forward to your submissions!
