Papers may range from 6 to 12 pages in length and may optionally include 2 further pages of bibliography/appendices. Papers will be reviewed with an understanding that some results do not need 12 full pages and may be fully described in fewer pages. + +New ideas/vision papers: These papers may describe new, unconventional software language engineering research positions or approaches that depart from standard practice. They can describe well-defined research ideas that are at an early stage of investigation. They could also provide new evidence to challenge common wisdom, present new unifying theories about existing SLE research that provides novel insight or that can lead to the development of new technologies or approaches, or apply SLE technology to radically new application areas. New ideas/vision papers must not exceed 5 pages and may optionally include 1 further page of bibliography/appendices. + +SLE Body of Knowledge: The SLE Body of Knowledge (SLEBoK) is a community-wide effort to provide a unique and comprehensive description of the concepts, best practices, tools, and methods developed by the SLE community. These papers can focus on, but are not limited to, methods, techniques, best practices, and teaching approaches. Papers in this category can have up to 20 pages, including bibliography/appendices. + +Tool papers: These papers focus on the tooling aspects often forgotten or neglected in research papers. A good tool paper focuses on practical insights that will likely be useful to other implementers or users in the future. Any of the SLE topics of interest are appropriate areas for tool demonstrations. Submissions must not exceed 5 pages and may optionally include 1 further page of bibliography/appendices. They may optionally include an appendix with a demo outline/screenshots and/or a short video/screencast illustrating the tool. + +**Workshops**: Workshops will be organized by SPLASH.

The PLMW workshop series has made it possible for us to talk openly with students about the challenges and stresses facing graduate students: problems with advisors, paper rejections, mental health, and career planning. However, the same can’t be said about the challenges of being faculty: many junior faculty don’t feel comfortable discussing their doubts or asking for advice about how to manage a research group or build a tenure case, and not every junior professor is lucky enough to have a suitable mentor at their own institution to ask for help. + +The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for full-time academics to comfortably share their experience in non-technical aspects related to faculty life. Not all such experiences are positive. Sometimes things don’t work out: PhD students change advisors, grants are rejected, topics go out of fashion. We believe many of the not-so-junior members of the community would love to learn about how “the magic is done” in other research groups, and what are the non-technical ingredients that enable long-term successful research and a happy work environment. + +The workshop is targeting academic faculty of any seniority level, as well as senior PhD students and postdocs who have accepted faculty positions but have not officially started yet. + +For the inaugural edition of the RTFM workshop, we are delighted to confirm the following speakers: + +- Işıl Dillig (UT Austin), on running a research group +- Nate Foster (Cornell), on doing interdisciplinary research +- Ranjit Jhala (UCSD), on writing grants +- Peter Müller (ETH Zurich), on long-term research problem selection + +The workshop will also feature three discussion panels on + +- Getting tenure +- Recruiting and supporting students +- Work-life balance, service, and teaching + +The workshop will conclude with a slot for one-on-one mentoring sessions. + +RTFM@PLDI’24 organizers: + +- Amal Ahmed (Northeastern University) +- Derek Dreyer (MPI-SWS) +- Ilya Sergey (NUS) +
