If your paper is a research paper, it should describe a new idea or a new technique. It must describe original work. Your paper should present supporting evidence, not just conjecture. Idea papers should be backed up by a convincing analysis.
-
If your paper is an experience paper, it should present new data based on actual experience that demonstrates the effectiveness (or ineffectiveness) of object technology, describes problems encountered, and makes suggestions for improvements. It should provide new evidence, either positive or negative, to evaluate existing ideas or techniques. It should help provide direction for future research, as well as provide new insights of value to other practitioners using object technology.

The distinction between research and experience papers is not absolute. It is possible to gain experience in a research setting, and it is possible to develop new ideas or techniques while applying a technology. However, if you focus on one of these two aspects, you will write a better paper.

Your paper should make its contribution abundantly clear. It is not the job of the program committee to ferret out this information. One aspect of identifying the contribution is to cite and make appropriate comparisons with previous work. A research paper should compare and contrast the work with prior work, demonstrating novelty. An experience paper should compare its results with other papers that present similar or opposing data. An experience paper that merely confirms that which is well known has opposed to that which is widely believed) is of little value.

If you believe that unusual circumstances warrant simultaneous submission to more than one forum, you MUST notify ALL the program chairs and editors involved; simultaneous submission without notice is considered highly unethical.
