How to submit

Submit a one-page abstract (max. 400 words) to the chairs by May 31st, using the easychair system. You will receive a notification as soon as possible and no later than June 15th, inviting you to develop the final version to be presented at the conference.

• — Provide a description of what your session is about on the “abstract” field of the submission form. Be sure to clearly state what the attendees should expect. Lay out a plan for the talk, the objectives, and which concepts, will be addressed. Please include in the end of this field a final paragraph about yourself. How would you describe your experience with agile and with the specific topics of the submission?
• — You don’t need to send the slides as part of your submission, but we encourage you to do so, even if in draft form. You can attach your slides using the “Upload Paper” section of the submission form.
