Paper submissions are now invited for the 16th Annual PPIG workshop to be held at the Institute of Technology, Carlow, Ireland.

A featured theme at PPIG 2004 will be research in the area of computer science education. The authors of selected papers submitted in this area will be invited to develop their papers for submission to a special issue of the Computer Science Education (CSE) journal to appear in 2005. Papers covering other topics of interest to the PPIG community (including work-in-progress papers) are also invited and welcomed.

Aims and Scope

The annual PPIG workshop is a forum in which researchers concerned with cognitive factors in software engineering can present and discuss recent results, findings and developments.

A feature of the PPIG workshops has been their openness to a wide spectrum of concerns related to programming and software engineering, from the design of programming languages to communication issues in software teams, and from computing education to high-performance professional practice. Similarly, PPIG entertains a broad spectrum of research approaches, from theoretical perspectives drawing on psychological theory to empirical perspectives grounded in real-world experience.

Despite its name, PPIG aims to bring together people working in a variety of disciplines and to break down cross-disciplinary barriers.

If you have any queries as to whether your topic falls within the remit of PPIG, then please do not hesitate to contact the Program Chair, Enda Dunican, at enda.dunican@itcarlow.ie Given the featured theme of PPIG 2004, papers on computer science education are particularly solicited.

Paper Submission

All full papers falling into the CSE category will be strictly reviewed; non-CSE papers will be put through the usual PPIG review process. All accepted papers presented at PPIG 2004 will appear in the workshop proceedings.

All papers should be submitted in PDF format to PPIG2004@ppig.org.

Doctoral/Postgraduate Event at PPIG-2004

During the morning of 5th April we will be holding a doctoral event for postgraduate students. The aim of this session is for postgraduates to present their research and exchange ideas with their fellow students as well as getting feedback from experienced research supervisors who will be attending the session. This session is free and open to all postgraduate students attending the event. Furthermore we are hoping to subsidise students who wish to attend this event. Details of the level of subsidy will follow later.

Students wishing to participate are encouraged strongly to submit a work-in -progress paper to PPIG, due by 13 February 2004, and are asked to indicate their intention to attend the doctoral event by emailing enda.dunican@itcarlow.ie by 5 March (which is also the registration deadline). Those students who are not ready to submit a work-in -progress paper will be asked to submit a poster and a 2-3 page overview of their research, so that they can receive feedback from the discussants. Doctoral students should also note that they are encouraged to submit full papers for the PPIG workshop. Questions should be addressed directly to the programme chair Enda Dunican at enda.dunican@itcarlow.ie.
