Dear Mieke, all,

sorry for my long silence, but I read the guidelines and they look good! I have just one question: should there not be any mention of a special issue? If not mandatory, maybe the PC chairs should at least be stimulated to organise a special issue in a reputable journal (LMCS, JLAMP, ..?) with the best papers of the conference. Likewise, Elsevier has sponsored the best tool paper also because of a special issue in their Original Software Publications track, which is also something worthwhile continuing!

See the Special Issue on Selected Software Artifacts of DisCoTec 2022: https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/science-of-computer-programming/special-issue/10CVGJGQP0Z

My 2 cents,

Maurice

Dear All,

I hope you all had a good summer.

During the last SC meeting in Lisbon we have discussed issues about how to deal with artifacts. It was proposed to include instructions on this aspect in the Coordination Guidelines document that  will be send to the new PC Chairs for every future edition of Coordination.

I would like to thank Sung-Shik Jongmans and Alceste  Scalas (receiving in cc) for their precious input and suggestions for the instructions on dealing with artefacts and related commissions.

Furthermore, it was felt that also some guidelines were needed on how to deal with the selection of Coordination Best papers, which are now also included.

Please find the updated Guidelines Document attached to this email. The new parts are highlighted in yellow.

    Please let me know about any observations asap, but not later than Sept 6.

After that date I'll send the (updated) Guidelines Document to the PC Chairs for Coordination 2024 so that they can start preparations in time.

Many thanks!

   Mieke
