Submission of Summaries
Tcl/Tk 2005 will be held in Portland, Oregon USA from October 24 -
October 28. The program committee asks all people using and developing
with Tcl/Tk and extensions to submit papers and proposals for
presentations at this conference. Past conferences have seen
submissions covering a wide variety of topics including and not
limited to:
* Scientific and engineering applications
* Industrial controls
* Distributed applications and Network Managment
* Object oriented extensions to Tcl/Tk
* New widgets for Tk
* Simulation and application steering with Tcl/Tk
* Tcl/Tk-Centric operating environments
* Tcl/Tk on small and embedded devices
* Medical applications and visualization
* Use of different programming paradigms in Tcl/Tk and proposals
for new directions.
* New areas of exploration for the Tcl/Tk language
The submissions should consist of an abstract of about 100 words and a
summary of maximum two pages. Omit extraneous or redundant
information. Length is not a direct factor in judging the quality of
the submission.
Send submissions as plain text to <tcl2005 AT tcl.tk> no later than
July 1, 2005. Authors of accepted abstracts will have until September
15, 2005 to submit their final paper for the inclusion in the
conference proceedings. The proceedings will be made available on
CD-ROM, so extra materials like code samples are welcome.
The authors will have 20-25 minutes to present the paper at the
conference.
The program committee will review and evaluate papers according to the
following criteria:
* Quantity and quality of novel content
* Relevance and interest to the Tcl/Tk community
* Suitability of content for presentation at the conference
Proposals may report on commercial or non-commercial systems, but
those with only blatant marketing content will not be accepted.
Application and experience papers need to strike a balance between
background on the application domain and the relevance of Tcl/Tk to
the application. Application and experience papers should clearly
explain how the application or experience illustrates a novel use of
Tcl/Tk, and what lessons the Tcl/Tk community can derive from the
application or experience to apply to their own development efforts.
Papers accompanied by non-disclosure agreement forms will be returned
to the author(s) unread. All submissions are held in the highest
confidentiality prior to publication in the Proceedings, both as a
matter of policy and in accord with the U. S. Copyright Act of 1976.
The primary author for each accepted paper will receive registration
to the Technical Sessions portion of the conference at a reduced rate.
Other Forms of Participation
The program committee also welcomes proposals for panel discussions of
up to 90 minutes. Proposals should include a list of confirmed
panelists, a title and format, and a panel description with position
statements from each panelist. Panels should have no more than four
speakers, including the panel moderator, and should allow time for
substantial interaction with attendees. Panels are not presentations
of related research papers.
Slots for Works-in-Progress (WIP) presentations and Birds-of-a-Feather
sessions (BOFs) are available on a first-come, first-served basis
starting in August, 2005. Specific instructions for reserving WIP and
BOF time slots will be provided in the registration information
available in June 2005. Some WIP and BOF time slots will be held open
for on-site reservation, so we encourage all attendees with
interesting work in progress to consider presenting that work at the
conference. Registration Information
More information on the conference will be available in April 2005 at
the conference Web site and published on various Tcl/Tk-related
information channels.
