Re: WS-REST2016 is looking for your API work

Hi Tom,

> I'm interested in submitting some work

Great!

> although I'm slightly thrown by the format, being used to making talk submissions, rather than "submit a paper".

Yes. This workshop's format is inspired by scientific conferences,
where there always is a published document,
which you then (more or less) explain in a talk.

That doesn't necessarily mean we value paper more than talks;
it just means that there is a written work that people can read and refer to afterwards.

> Do you have any thoughts/pointers on the style that papers are expected to be submitted in?

Absolutely! You can have a look at submissions of previous years:
– http://ws-rest.org/2014/program/http://ws-rest.org/2013/program/http://ws-rest.org/2012/program/

Try to find a paper close to your interests/topic to get an idea of what people typically write.

> Are there any notable formalities, conventions or requirements I should be aware of when submitting?

Not really, except that, if you want this paper to be officially published in the proceedings,
you will need to follow the LNCS template (https://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0).

All other accepted papers will be published on the website.

> Are papers arising from a non-academic context also expected/encouraged?

Most certainly! This workshop aims to bring together practitioners and researchers.

Best,

Ruben
