Work-in-progress papers (with/without preliminary results): Papers that describe ongoing research or pilot studies, highlighting early findings and lessons learned.
Exemplar papers: Papers that describe examples of challenge problems and illustrative solutions that the responsible software engineering community can use to motivate research, exhibit and evaluate solutions and techniques, and compare results.
Vision papers: Papers that articulate future directions, conceptual frameworks, or community challenges in responsible software engineering.
Position/Reflection papers: Papers that provide critical analysis or reflective insights on experiences, practices, or methodologies in software engineering.
Interactive exercise/tutorial: Submissions designed to engage participants actively, teaching methods, tools, or concepts through hands-on or interactive sessions.
