CfP CBSE 2010 at Prague, Czech Republic, 23-25 June 2010

Call for Papers - CBSE 2010 13th International Symposium on Component Based Software Engineering (CBSE-2010) taking place at Prague, Czech Republic, 23-25 June 2010. Component-based Software Engineering is part of CompArch see http://www.comparch-events.org/index/ for more info. Important Dates Submission January 27, 2010 Notification March 7, 2010 Camera Ready March 26, 2010 Goals Component-based Software Engineering (CBSE) has emerged as a technology for the rapid assembly of flexible software systems. CBSE combines elements of software architecture, modular software design, software verification, configuration and deployment. To foster exchange and collaboration with the software architecture community, CBSE is colocated with the Quality of Software Architectures Conference (QoSA) and the International Symposium on Architecting Critical Systems (ISARCS)as part of the federated CompArch event. The CBSE symposium has a track record of bringing together researchers and practitioners from a variety of disciplines to promote a better understanding of CBSE from a diversity of perspectives, and to engage in active discussion and debate. CBSE 2010 is open to all participants interested in CBSE and related areas. The symposium addresses participants from both universities and industry. Scope The theoretical foundations of component specification, composition, analysis and verification continue to pose research challenges. While the engineering models and methods for component software development are slowly maturing, new trends in global services, distributed systems architectures, and large scale software systems that cross organizational boundaries push the limits of established and tested component-based methods, tools and platforms: model-driven development and grid technologies with their high-performance demands in massive data storage, computational complexity and global co-scheduling of scientific models in flagship science, technology and medicine research; global software development with its lowering of cost of software capabilities and production, through automation, off-shoring and outsourcing of key components and subsystems; networked enterprise information systems and services architectures crossing enterprise, nation, legal and discipline boundaries; shift from (globally distributed) software products to pervasive and ubiquitous services supported by deep software-intensive infrastructures and middleware and by increasingly flexible, adaptive and autonomous client and application server software. CBSE 2010 will include contributions that explore how the nature of component- based software engineering is being influenced by developments in the field of software and global enterprise technology. In addition to presentations of papers, the symposium will incorporate working and industry sessions. Topics of interest - Design of component models - Theories (including taxonomies) of software composition and binding Coordination and choreography of component software, services, workflows - Run-time adaptation of component-based systems - Interaction between component models, software architectures and product lines - Component-based web services and service-oriented architecture - Declarative, rule-based management of component-based systems - Software quality and extra-functional properties for components and component-based systems - Global generation, adaptation and deployment of component-based systems and services - Components and generative approaches Components and model-driven development - Specification, verification and testing of component-based systems - Compositional reasoning techniques for component models - Global measurement, prediction and monitoring of distributed and service components - Patterns and frameworks for component-based systems and services Integrated tool chains and methods for building component-based services - Components for networked real-time information systems and sensor networks - Industrial experience using component-based software development - Empirical studies in component-based software engineering - Teaching component-based software engineering We welcome papers that address any of the topics listed above. Special Theme: Components beyond Reuse CBSE 2010 is encouraging papers that address reasons for using components beyond re-use. While consider software components a technical means to increase software re-use, other reasons for investing into component technology tend to be overseen. For example, components play an important role in framework and product-lines to enable configurability (even if no component is re-used). Another role of components is to use them to increase the predictability of the properties of a system. For an engineering approach to software design, it is important to understand the implications of design decisions on the system's properties. Therefore, approaches to evaluate and predict properties of systems by analyzing its components and its architecture are of high interest. To strengthen the relation between architectural descriptions of systems and components, a comprehensible mapping to component-oriented middleware platforms is important. Model-driven development, with its use of generators, can provide a suitable link between architectural views and technical component execution platforms. Paper Submission The Paper Submission is handle via EASYCHAIR http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cbse2010 All submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three program committee members (four for papers with an author on the program committee). Papers must not have been previously published or concurrently submitted elsewhere. Any duplicate submissions will be rejected without review. As always, the symposium seeks reports on innovative contributions to the science and technology of CBSE. Papers describing practical experience with CBSE in mission- and performance-critical systems are of particular interest. Long and short papers on leading-edge research and development in progress are also encouraged. Long papers must not exceed 16 pages and short papers must not exceed 8 pages, in the required format. The proceedings will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series and papers should have the requisite format. Details regarding the submission will be published on http://cbse2010.ipd.kit.edu and http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cbse2010 Program Co-Chairs Lars Grunske, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia lgrunske@swin.edu.au Ralf Reussner, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany, reussner@kit.edu CompArch Organization Chair Frantisek Plasil, Charles University, Czech Republic Program Committee Steffen Becker Forschungszentrum Informatik (FZI) Germany Judith Bishop Microsoft Research, Redmond USA Barbora Buehnová Masaryk University, Brno Czech Republic Michel Chaudron Leiden University Netherlands Kendra Cooper University of Texas at Dallas USA Ivica Crnkovic Maelardalen University Sweden Xavier Franch Universitat PolitËcnica de Catalunya Spain Morven Gentleman Dalhousie University Canada Sudipto Ghosh Colorado State University USA Holger Giese Hasso Plattner Institute, Potsdam Germany Ian Gorton Pacific North West National Laboratory USA Lars Grunske Swinburne University of Technology Australia Richard Hall Sun Microsystems USA Jens Happe Forschungszentrum Informatik (FZI) Germany George Heineman Worcester Polytechnic Institute USA Christine Hofmeister East Stroudsburg University USA Dean Jin University of Manitoba Canada Joe Kiniry University College Dublin Ireland Magnus Larsson ABB AB Sweden Kung-Kiu Lau The University of Manchester UK Grace A.
