Instructions for submitting the description of team projects of the MSR Hackathon, which will be reviewed by the MSR Hackathon Program Committee.
To submit a description of a project, the team should have correct and complete information in the teams.md file. The name used in that file should be mentioned in the paper (see below).
All teams should use the official
“ACM Primary Article Template”, as can be obtained from the ACM Proceedings Template page.
LaTeX users should use the sigconf option, as well as the review
(to produce line numbers for easy reference by the reviewers) options.
To that end, the following LaTeX code can be placed at the start of the LaTeX document:
\documentclass[sigconf,review]{acmart}
\acmConference[MSR 2022]
{MSR '22: Proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Mining Software Repositories}
{May 23–24, 2022}{Pittsburgh, PA, USA}
Papers should include the complete list of authors, which should match the list of authors in the teams.md file.
The paper should include, as soon as reasonably possible in the introduction, the name of the team and a footnote with a link to the repository used by the team during the hackathon (which should match the content of [teams.md[(teams.md). It is important that the repository includes a README.md file which clearly states the name of the team, and a summary of the project. Participants can include in the repository the information as they want, as long as it helps to understand the project. As a minimum, they should include any script, dataset, etc. that may be useful for understanding the paper and the project. It is recommended that the information in the repository is good enough for reproducing the paper.
Authors are encouraged to check papers presented as a result of the previous edition of the MSR Hackarhon as examples of accepted papers.
- Paper limit: three pages, including references
