[SATToSE] SATToSE 2017 deadline coming closer!

[apologies for crossposting] Dear all, the deadline for submitting your contribution to SATToSE is round the corner (April 14th)! Don't miss this opportunity to share your research and ideas with your peers. Remember that the slogan of SATToSE is "a friendly venue for your crazy ideas"! regards, Gregorio ======================================================================== 10th Seminar Series on Advanced Techniques & Tools for Software Evolution ( SATToSE 2017) June 7 - June 9, 2017, Madrid, Spain Find us on the web: http://sattose.org/2017 Follow us on twitter: https://twitter.com/sattose ======================================================================== SATToSE is the Seminar Series on Advanced Techniques & Tools for Software Evolution. The goal of SATToSE is to gather both undergraduate and graduate students to showcase their research, exchange ideas, and improve their communication skills. SATToSE will host invited talks, paper presentations, tutorials, and a hackathon, fostering interactions among participants and stimulating lively debates and discussions around the topics of interest of the event. We expect attendees to be active participants and not just passive listeners. Presenters should be open to and encourage questions and discussions during their talks. This year's SATToSE has a co-located event on the day before: the SENECA European (http://senecaproject.github.io) project training for PhDs. It is a one-day seminar on "writing up & moving on" and "commercializing research", that will have five renowned speakers. Those who register for SATToSE will have the possibility to attend this event for free. ### Important Dates 14th April, 2017 - Submission deadline 4th May, 2017 - Notification of acceptance 9th May, 2017 - Registration deadline 6th June, 2017 - SENECA European project training for PhDs 7th - 9th June, 2017 - SATToSE Seminar ### Topics of Interest Contributions are solicited on all aspects of software and model evolution, practices, and technologies.
