Studentships for AOSD 2010: International Conference on Aspect-Oriented
Software Development
March 15-19, 2010
Rennes and Saint Malo, France
http://www.aosd.net/2010/index.html
The AOSD Conference is committed to supporting students working in this
area via a dedicated Student Forum programme. At the Forum students will
obtain extensive feedback to their work, benefit from research events,
and receive general academic skills training. All ASOD students are
invited to participate in the AOSD Student Forum. More details on the
Forum are available at http://www.aosd.net/2010/forum.html .
For AOSD 2010, ten studentships are supported by the AOSD-Europe network
of Excellence (http://www.aosd-europe.net/index.htm ) for selected EU
students.
The studentships are intended to facilitate students with limited funds
to attend AOSD, engage with the Student Forum, as well as to encourage
integration of the groups that work on AOSD or related topics but have
been previously underrepresented (or disjointed ) from the AOSD community.
To apply for an AOSD-Europe studentship, the interested students are
invited to submit:
* an extended research abstract (as required for the Spring School
attendance: http://www.aosd.net/2010/student/spring.html ) and
* a brief statement (up to half a page) stating how attending AOSD will
benefit their work (as well as any particular circumstances that the
student may wish to point out, if relevant);
* a brief (up to half a page) statement by a senior member from students
research group (e.g. the supervisor, or the head of the group that the
student is working in) stating how AOSD is relevant to their group and
how the research in their group can be integrated with the work in AOSD
community.
The submissions should be emailed to the Student Forum Chair (Ruzanna
Chitchyan) on students_at_aosd.net .
Submission deadline is 19th of January 2010, 23:59 (Samoan time).
The selection committee will comprise of the AOSD 2010 General Chair,
the Organising Chair, and the Student Forum Chair. The applications will
be judged on the relevance of the student work to AOSD, the potential
extension of the AOSD community via integration of related work from
new/underrepresented research groups, and the circumstances of
individual students. Please note that the members of active AOSD groups
will not be unfairly disadvantaged.

Call for Expression of Interest: Project Collaboration Event at AOSD 2010
AOSD 2010 includes a new Project Collaboration event for research and
development projects. A set of R&D projects will have an opportunity to
present their work at the conference (15 min. presentation) and to
engage with students working on relevant topics.
Requirements to the R&D projects:
* The project?s research and/or development should be related to AO;
* A project representative should attend the AOSD conference to
introduce the on-going work and to outline what are the open issues the
project is interested in exploring.
* The interested students will then have a discussion slot with the
relevant project representatives to discuss their ideas on these issues
and potential collaborative work.
Collaboration format:
Issues on specific collaboration format (e.g., how to involve students,
working remotely or locally, etc.) will be driven by the specific
project/student circumstance. The aim of this event is to identify and
connect mutually interested parties and provide opportunities to meet
and work out their own collaboration schedules/details.
Benefit to the research/development projects
Participation in this event provides two main benefits:
1. Project Dissemination: the selected projects will be invited to give
a 15 min. presentation at the AOSD conference (please note that
registration for AOSD conference is a pre-requirement for the presentation);
2. The projects will potentially identify students to work on the topics
that they are interested in researching/developing.
Benefits to students:
Students will get an opportunity to find and engage with projects
related to their work. This could involve, for instance, using the
projects as evaluators; gaining experience of research collaboration;
developing industry-relevant software and joint publications, etc.
Participation Guidelines:
In order to participate, please submit an Expression of Interest
containing a 2-3 paragraphs description of the project itself, a URL
(where available) pointing to further details on this project, and a
list of topics of interest to this project. Email your submission to the

Message-ID: <8E570710A3D34AA4B800A2E12D7976A6@rinusvaioTZ31>
Call for organizers:
The Advanced Functional Programming School, 2010.
http://www.cs.uu.nl/~johanj/afp/
We solicit plans for organizing the next Advanced Functional Programming School. Since 1995 there have been six Schools on Advanced Functional Programming:
a.. 2008, LNCS 5832, Nijmegen, The Netherlands
b.. 2004, LNCS 3622, Tartu, Estonia
c.. 2002, LNCS 2638, Oxford, UK
d.. 1998, LNCS 1608, Braga, Portugal
e.. 1996, LNCS 1129, Olympia, WA, USA
f.. 1995, LNCS 925, Baastad, Sweden
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The goals of this series of schools are
a.. Bring computer scientists, in particular young researchers and programmers, up to date with the latest AFP techniques.
b.. Use AFP techniques in "programming in the real world".
c.. Bridge the gap between results presented at programming conferences and material from introductory textbooks on functional programming.
The approach we take to achieve these goals in the schools is
a.. In depth lectures about AFP techniques, taught by experts in the field.
b.. Lectures are accompanied by practical problems to be solved by the students at the school. The problems guide the students' learning to a great extent. This implies that there has to be a lab at the school site.
c.. Group work is stimulated, especially because the practical problems will typically be too large for a single person.
By functional programming we mean programming in a style that emphasizes the evaluation of expressions rather than the execution of commands.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The lecture notes of the Advanced Functional Programming schools are published after the school. The organizers are responsible for publishing the lecture notes.
Please submit a proposal for organizing the next advanced functional programming school.
Your proposal should include
a.. the name of the organizers (preferably more than one)
b.. a programme: lecturers (a mix of young and bright, and old and wise lecturers is preferred) and topics (keep in mind that lectures have to be about "programming in the real world". Applications of functional programming are very important for the school)
c.. the approximate dates (preferably somewhere in 2010)
d.. a location
e.. a budget, including an estimation of the registration and hotel costs per participant.
The programme, dates, location and budget don't have to be completely fixed when you submit your proposal, but there should be sufficient information to review your proposal. Your proposal will be reviewed by the steering committee of the Advanced Functional Programming Schools, consisting of
? Peter Achten (AFP6)
a.. Pedro Henriques (AFP3)
b.. Johan Jeuring (AFP4, AFP5)
c.. Simon Peyton Jones (AFP4)
d.. Pieter Koopman (AFP6)
e.. Erik Meijer (AFP2)
f.. Rinus Plasmeijer (Chairman, AFP6)
g.. Tim Sheard (AFP2)
h.. Doaitse Swierstra (AFP3, AFP6)
i.. Tarmo Uustalu (AFP5)
j.. Varmo Vene (AFP5)
Submit your proposal to rinus at cs.ru.nl before December 15, 2009.
Notification January 9, 2010.

Introduction:
A new computing paradigm is currently undergoing rapid advancements
and emerging on the spot as one of the priority research areas, whose
research activities are booming recently: autonomic computing (AC),
which is primarily inspired by the human autonomic nervous system. AC
is characterized by its self-* facets such as self-organization,
self-configuration, self-healing, self-optimization, self-protection
and so on whose context-awareness used to dynamically control
computing functions. The overarching goal of AC is to realize
nature-inspired computing systems (so-called autonomic systems), that
can manage themselves without direct human interventions. Meeting this
grand challenge of AC requires a rigorous interdisciplinary approach
to nature-inspired computing systems. To this end, in this special
issue, we will present advances in AC through dissecting
nature-inspired computing systems taking advantage of formal
engineering methods. Furthermore, in the field of AC, there exists a
need for novel research results on properties of nature-inspired
computing systems. All of these are to achieve firm formal foundations
of AC.
Goals:
This special issue on Advances in Autonomic Computing: Formal
Engineering Methods for Nature-Inspired Computing Systems in the
Springer Journal of TCS is a place for highly original ideas about how
AC is going to shape nature-inspired computing systems of the future.
Hence, it focuses on rigorous approaches and cutting-edge solutions
which break new ground in dealing with the properties of
nature-inspired computing systems. Its purpose is to make a formal
basis more accessible to researchers, scientists, professionals and
students as well as developers and practitioners in computing science
by providing them with state-of-the-art research results and future
opportunities and trends.
Scope:
Original papers are solicited for this special issue. In particular,
theoretical contributions should be formally stated and justified, and
practical applications should be based on their firm formal basis.
Suggested topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Theoretical foundations of nature-inspired computing systems
- Formalizing self-* facets (such as self-management, self-monitoring,
self-tuning, self-repair, self-configuration, and so on) in
nature-inspired computing systems
- Formalizing languages that enable nature-inspired computing systems
- Calculi for reasoning about behavior of nature-inspired computing systems
- Formal methods for specifying, refining, programming and verifying
nature-inspired computing systems
- Management and control of nature-inspired computing systems
- Robustness and dependability of nature-inspired computing systems
- Biologically, socially, and physically inspired computing systems
- Applications of formal methods for nature-inspired computing systems
This list is not restrictive - prospective authors are encouraged to
contact the editor before submitting a paper to determine whether the
submission is within the scope of this special issue.

WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems are decentralized, self-organizing distributed
systems that cooperate to exchange data. These systems have emerged as the
dominant consumers of residential Internet subscribers' bandwidth, and are
being increasingly used in many different application domains. In the
last few
years, research on P2P systems has been quite intensive, and has produced
remarkable results in scalability, robustness, location, distributed
storage,
and system measurements. Consequently, P2P systems continue to evolve,
differentiating today's state-of-the-art from earlier instantiations such as
Napster, KaZaA, Gnutella, and Morpheus.
The International Workshop on Hot Topics in Peer-to-Peer Systems (Hot-P2P)
aims to bring together researchers and practitioners, from both industry and
academia, in the fields of systems, networking, and theory, and to
represent an
occasion to share latest research results and ideas on P2P systems, thereby
promoting research activities in this area.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* P2P applications and infrastructures
* Performance evaluation and workload characterization
* Trust and reputation in P2P systems
* Security and privacy in P2P systems
* Routing and fault-tolerance in P2P systems
* Resource discovery/management in P2P systems
* Network support for P2P systems
* Self-organization and self-management in P2P environments

Subject: [ecoop-info] SBMF 2010 - Last Call for Satellite Events
Message-ID: <20091105180622.C0458FDF5@sergipe.ufs.br>
SBMF 2010
13th BRAZILIAN SYMPOSIUM ON FORMAL METHODS
Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil November 8-12, 2010
CALL FOR SATELLITE EVENTS
The SBMF series of meetings has established an excellent international reputation as a venue for the presentation of the latest in formal techniques. It has a strong regional focus and identity, as the national meeting for formal methods research and practice, with the highest quality rating from the Brazilian research agencies. It attracts speakers and participants from around the world, from both academia and industry. Its proceedings are published in Springer's LNCS.
SBMF 2010 is the thirteenth meeting in the series, and the second to be held in Natal, a major tourist destination with excellent facilities and communications.
Proposals for the organisation of satellite events are now invited. The proposed events should fall broadly within the established scope of SBMF: that is, they should address the design or application of formal, soundly-based techniques for the development of high-quality systems. They may focus upon particular aspects of theory or practice, upon a particular method or application domain, or they may be based around a theme of particular relevance to an SBMF audience.
Researchers or practitioners wishing to organise a satellite event are invited to submit proposals in PDF or Postscript format by email to the SBMF 2010 chair - sbmf2010 at gmail.com - on or before the 14th of November 2009. Proposers will be notified of the decision of the steering committee on or before the 30th of November.
Proposals
A proposal should be no more than 4 pages in length, and should include a short CV of the event chair or lead organiser. It should explain: the name of the event (and any acronym); names and contact details of the organisers; the topic or theme, and its relevance to SBMF; event format, including its duration; expected number of participants; local support requirements. If papers are to be invited, the proposal should explain the schedule for submission and notification, the means of evaluation, and any plans for publication. If there is a programme or organisation committee, the proposal should list the names of those involved. In assessing each proposal, the steering committee will consider relevance to an SBMF audience as well as the likely quality of the event itself.
Arrangements
All participants, including chairs and organisers, will be required to register also for the main SBMF conference. An additional fee will be charged for participation at a satellite event, set by the general chair of SBMF. The organisers of SBMF will be responsible for providing local, logistical support: meeting rooms, presentation facilities, refreshments, and internet access. The organisers of the satellite event will be responsible for: event publicity; handling of submissions; production of proceedings; financial support for invited speakers, authors, or organisers; special transportation facilities, if required by workshop participants. Event organisers should be ready to provide material for inclusion in the main SBMF website, and to produce an extended abstract for inclusion in the main SBMF proceedings.

Architecture - Framing Stakeholders' Concerns
Message-ID: <4AF2CDB0.1060509@cs.rug.nl>
Call for Papers
Special Issue of IEEE Software
Software Architecture: Framing Stakeholders' Concerns
Submission deadline: 1 April 2010
Publication: November/December 2010
Software architects must identify and manage several architectural
concerns to devise a successful architecture. There are three
complementary approaches commonly used in practice to frame
stakeholders' concerns:
* Architecture viewpoints (e.g. logical, process, use case) comprising
notations, models and conventions for creating views of the
architecture.
* Architecture frameworks as coordinated collections of viewpoints
(e.g. Zachman, TOGAF, and, RM-ODP).
* Architecture models constructed using Architecture Description
Languages (ADLs) and/or Model-driven Architecture (MDA) approaches.
When putting these approaches into practice, architects face recurring
issues: Which views and models/languages do I need? How do I handle
concern X? How do I illustrate the concerns addressed by my
architecture to stakeholder Y? Are there any reusable viewpoints or
models to frame the concerns of e.g. clients, auditors, maintainers?
Some architectural concerns, such as interface access, deployment,
functionality and its allocation, are well-served today, embodied in
available architecture frameworks, viewpoints or languages. Other
dominant concerns, instead, are not addressed by available, off-the-
shelf approaches. Examples range from quality aspects like safety,
privacy, reliability, and scalability, to business aspects like
budget, cost, schedule, quality of service. If missed or ignored,
critical concerns have the potential to disrupt a project.
This special issue will explore the state of the art and current
industrial practice in framing architectural concerns. We especially
welcome case studies, lessons learned, success and failure stories in
introducing viewpoints, frameworks and models to organizations, mature
and innovative approaches, and future trends.
Possible topics include but are not limited to:
* Research approaches and industrial practice on identifying,
documenting and applying viewpoints, frameworks and models in framing
architectural concerns
* Tools to support viewpoints, frameworks and models in framing
architectural concerns
* Reuse, customization, generalization, and standardization of
architectural viewpoints, frameworks and models
* Viewpoints and models for specialized concerns (e.g. reliability,
safety, security) or for specific domains (enterprise, healthcare,
embedded systems)
* Relations between viewpoints, frameworks and models with other
knowledge management mechanisms such as perspectives, principles,
styles and patterns.
Manuscripts must not exceed 5,400 words including figures and tables,
which count for 200 words each. Submissions in excess of these limits
may be rejected without refereeing. The articles we deem within the
theme's scope will be peer-reviewed and are subject to editing for
magazine style, clarity, organization, and space. We reserve the right
to edit the title of all submissions. Be sure to include the name of
the theme or special issue you are submitting for.
Articles should have a practical orientation, and be written in a
style accessible to practitioners. Overly complex, purely research-
oriented or theoretical treatments are not appropriate. Articles
should be novel. IEEE Software does not re-publish material published
previously in other venues, including other periodicals and formal
conference/workshop proceedings, whether previous publication was in
print or in electronic form.

CALL FOR PAPERS
MSR 2010 Mining Challenge:
http://msrconf.org/msr2010/challenge/ twitter: @msrconf
A mining challenge track of:
7th International Working Conference on Mining Software Repositories
2-3 May 2010, Cape Town, South Africa (co-located with ICSE 2010)
Do you have what it takes to be a software miner, maybe you want to
try but lack the data? Look no further as the Mining Software
Repositories (MSR) Challenge is the venue for your tools and
research. We will provide you with mirrored, extracted, and parsed
repositories and you will provide us with a report of your interesting
findings!
Since 2006 the IEEE Working Conference on Mining Software Repositories
(MSR) has hosted a mining challenge. The MSR Mining Challenge brings
together researchers and practitioners who are interested in applying,
comparing, and challenging their mining tools and approaches on
software repositories for open source projects.
Unlike previous years, which have examined a single project, multiple
projects in isolation, or a single distribution of projects (GNOME),
this year the MSR challenge involves examining FreeBSD operating
system and distribution, the GNOME Desktop Suite of projects, and the
Debian/Ubuntu Distribution Database. The emphasis this year is on how
the projects are inter-related, how they interact, and possibly how
they evolve and function within a larger software ecosystem.
There will be two challenge tracks:
#1 General
#2 Prediction
For the #1 General challenge, researchers will discover interesting
facts and report them as 4-page (max) submissions.
For the #2 Prediction challenge, the goal is to predict the final bug
number of April 30th, 2010 for the Debian distribution. Researchers must
submit a 2-page report explaining the approach used for the
prediction.
All the accepted papers will be included in the proceedings as
challenge papers. The winners of the MSR Challenge and prediction
challenge will receive an award. See the MSR homepage for more
information about requirement and rules.

Each of these topics areas is expanded on the conference web page
(http://www.farcampus.com/rcis/topics.php). Papers may address one or more
of the listed sub-topics, although authors should not feel limited by them.
Unlisted but related sub-topics are also acceptable, provided they fit in
one of the conference main topics.
CONFERENCE PUBLICATIONS AND BEST PAPERS
Papers that have already been accepted or are currently under review for
other conferences or journals will not be considered for publications at
RCIS?2010. Authors are invited to submit papers in English using the paper
format indicated below. Each submitted paper will have to be associated to
one of the four following categories.
Technical solution papers present solutions which are novel or
significantly improve on existing solutions. A technical solution paper
must include a preliminary validation of the proposed solution. Results
must be stated clearly enough so that it is possible to validate them in
later research.
Evaluation papers evaluate existing problem situations or validate proposed
solutions with scientific means, i.e. by empirical studies, experiments,
case studies, simulations, mathematical proofs, etc. The research method
must be sound and appropriate.
Industrial practice and experience papers present problems or challenges
encountered in practice, relate success and failure stories, or report on
industrial practice. The practice must be clearly described and its context
must be given.
Doctoral Papers are papers submitted by doctoral students (only) and are
related to research work in progress.
PAPER SUBMISSION
By submitting a paper, authors implicitly agree that at least one of them
will register to the conference and present the paper. Submitted papers
will be reviewed by the RCIS?2010 Program Committee based on originality,
significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. A "blind"
paper evaluation method will be used. Therefore authors are kindly
requested to produce and provide the full paper, without any reference to
the authors.
The manuscript must contain, in its first page, the paper title, the paper
category (Technical solution, Evaluation, Industrial or Doctoral), an
abstract and a list of keywords but no names or contact details are to be
included in any part of the file. Notification of paper
acceptance/rejection will be sent by email.
The papers which have been presented by their authors during the conference
will be puablished in IEEE RCIS?2010 proceedings.
Paper submissions must be formatted using the IEEE 2-column format (see
http://www.ieee.org). They should be limited to a maximum of 12 pages.
All paper submissions will be handled electronically (see
//www.farcampus.com/rcis/author.php).
The authors of papers that obtain the highest marks in the reviewing
process will be invited to submit an extended version to a journal.

CAISE 2010
CALL FOR PAPERS
22nd International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering
(CAiSE'08)
Evolving Information Systems
JUNE 7-11, 2010, Hammamet, Tunisia
Papers submission deadline: November 30, 2009
http://www.caise2010.rnu.tn
SCOPE AND TOPICS:
This year's special theme is "Evolving information systems".
Modern information systems are the result of the interconnection of systems
of many organizations, are running in variable contexts, and require both a
lightweight approach to interoperability and the capability to actively
react to changing requirements and failures. In addition, users of
information systems are becoming more and more mobile and ubiquitous,
requiring the system to adapt to their varying usage contexts and goals.
The evolution of an information system should be a continuous process
rather than a single step, and it should be inherently supported by the
system itself and the design of the information system should consider
evolution as an inherent property of the system.
The special events and invited speakers of CAiSE '2010 will shed light on
this theme from various perspectives.
Goal: CAiSE'2010 aims to bring together researchers and practitioners in
the field of information systems engineering. CAiSE'2010 invites
submissions on the design, development, maintenance, and usage of
information systems - and especially submissions dealing with evolving
information systems.
Topics of interests include, but are not restricted to:
Methodologies and approaches for IS engineering
- Enterprise architecture and enterprise modelling
- Requirements engineering
- Business process modelling and management
- Simulation
- Model, component, and software reuse
- IS reengineering
- IS engineering approaches for adaptive and flexible information systems
- Service science
- Knowledge patterns and ontologies for IS engineering
- IS in networked & virtual organizations
- Method engineering
Innovative platforms, architectures and technologies for IS engineering
- Service-oriented architecture
- Model-driven architecture
- Component based development
- Agent architecture
- Distributed, mobile, and open architecture
- Innovative database technology
- Semantic web
- IS and ubiquitous technologies
- Adaptive and context-aware IS
Engineering of specific kinds of IS:
- eGovernment
- Enterprise systems (ERP, CRM, CRM)
- Data warehousing
- Workflow systems
- Knowledge management systems
- Content management systems
Quality concerns in IS engineering
- Knowledge, information, and data quality
- Quality of models and their languages
- Usability, security, trust, flexibility, interoperability
IMPORTANT DATES:
Papers submission deadline: NOVEMBER 30, 2009
Notification of acceptance: February 18, 2010
CAISE 2010 Conference & Workshops: June 7-11, 2010
TYPES OF CONTRIBUTIONS:
We invite four types of original and scientific papers:
o Formal and/or technical papers describe original solutions (theoretical,
methodological or conceptual) in the field of IS engineering. A technical
paper should clearly describe the situation or problem tackled, the
relevant state of the art, the position or solution suggested and the
potential - or, even better, the evaluated - benefits of the contribution.
o Empirical evaluation papers evaluate existing problem situations or
validate proposed solutions with scientific means, i.e. by empirical
studies, experiments, case studies, simulations, formal analyses,
mathematical proofs, etc. Scientific reflection on problems and practices
in industry also falls into this category. The topic of the evaluation
presented in the paper as well as its causal or logical properties must be
clearly stated. The research method must be sound and appropriate.
o Experience papers present problems or challenges encountered in practice,
relate success and failure stories, or report on industrial practice. The
focus is on 'what' and on lessons learned, not on an in-depth analysis of
'why'. The practice must be clearly described and its context must be
given. Readers should be able to draw conclusions for their own practice.
o Exploratory Papers can describe completely new research positions or
approaches, in order to face to a generic situation arising because of new
ICT tools or new kinds of activities or new IS challenges. They must
describe precisely the situation and demonstrate how current methods,
tools, ways of reasoning, or meta-models are inadequate. They must
rigorously present their approach and demonstrate its pertinence and
correctness to addressing the identified situation.
SUBMISSION CONDITIONS:
Papers should be submitted in PDF format. The results described must be
unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere. Submissions must
conform to Springer's LNCS format and should not exceed 15 pages, including
all text, figures, references and appendices. Submissions not conforming to
the LNCS format, exceeding 15 pages, or being obviously out of the scope of
the conference, will be rejected without review. Information about the
Springer LNCS format can be found at
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. Three to five keywords
characterising the paper should be indicated at the end of the abstract.
The type of paper (technical/empirical evaluation/experience/exploratory
paper) should be indicated in the submission.
PUBLICATION:
Accepted papers will be presented at CAiSE'2010 and published in the
conference proceedings, which is published in the Springer Lecture Notes in
Computer Science (LNCS).

- Versioning, compatibility, software evolution
- Aspects, components, modularity, reflection
- Collaboration, workflow
- Transcending the limitations of object-oriented programming
- Empirical studies of object-oriented programming
Research papers should advance the current state of the art, and both experimentally based work and mathematical results are welcome. Experience papers should describe novel insight gained from the practical application of object technology, in such a way that it is of interest to a broad group of researchers and practitioners. A paper should explain its contributions in both general and technical terms, identifying what has been accomplished, explaining why it is significant, and comparing it with previous work. Authors should strive to make their papers understandable to a broad audience. Papers will be evaluated according to originality and significance, precision and correctness, presentation and clarity, and relevance.
The papers will be published in the series
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (www.springer.com/lncs).
Papers must be written in English, and be no longer than 25 pages, including references, appendices and figures, and written using the LNCS style. For more information about formatting please consult the Springer LNCS web site at http://www.springer.com.
The papers, not accepted as the main conference papers, will be automatically considered for the poster session papers. The poster session papers will be published in the separate proceedings and presented in the parallel sessions to the main conference with the shorter presentation time. Authors that do not want their papers to be published as the poster session papers should notify the conference organizers upon submission. Later exclusions will not be possible.

********************************************************************
9th AOSD Workshop on Aspects, Components, and Patterns
for Infrastructure Software (ACP4IS)
March 16, 2010
Rennes and Saint Malo, France
http://aosd.net/workshops/acp4is/2010
A one-day workshop to be held in conjunction with the
9th International Conference on
Aspect-Oriented Software Development (AOSD'10),
March 15 -- March 19, 2010, Rennes and Saint Malo, France
http://aosd.net/conference
********************************************************************
The importance of "systems infrastructure" software - including
application servers, virtual machines, middleware, compilers, and
operating systems - is increasing as application programmers demand
better and higher-level support for software development. Vendors
that provide superior support for application development have a
competitive advantage. The software industry as a whole benefits as
the base level of abstraction increases, thus decreasing the need
for application programmers to continually "reinvent the wheel".
These trends, however, mean that the demands on infrastructure
software are increasing. More and more features and requirements are
being "pushed down" into the infrastructure, and the developers of
systems software need better tools and techniques for handling these
increased demands. The design and implementation of systems-level
software presents unique opportunities and challenges for AOSD
techniques. These challenges include the need to address the
inherent complexity of infrastructure software; the need for strong
assurances of correct and predictable behavior; the need for maximum
run-time performance; and the necessity of dealing with the large
body of existing systems software components.
This workshop aims to provide a highly interactive forum for
researchers and developers to discuss the application of and
relationships between aspects, components, and patterns within
modern infrastructure software. The goal is to put aspects,
components, and patterns into a common reference frame and to build
connections between the software engineering and systems
communities.
This year's workshop puts special focus on the challenges in
system's programming introduced by multi-core platforms. As
hardware-supported parallelization becomes mainstream, there is an
increasing pressure on systems infrastructure to exploit this new
parallelism to its fullest. However, the non-modular nature of
parallel execution, and the numerous levels at which parallelism can
be achieved (application, systems infrastructure, hardware or even a
combination) make it hard to come up with an intuitive, yet
efficient parallel architecture. We solicit novel ideas and
experience reports on this emerging research area.
Other suggested topics for position papers include, but are not
restricted to:
- Approaches that combine or relate component-, pattern-, and
aspect-based techniques
- Dimensions of infrastructure software quality including
comprehensibility, configurability (by implementers),
customizability (by users), reliability, evolvability,
scalability, and run-time characteristics such as performance and
code size
- Merits and downsides of container-, ORB-, and system-based
separation of concerns
- Architectural techniques for particular system concerns, e.g.,
security, static and dynamic optimization, and real-time behaviour
- Design patterns for systems software
- Component, pattern, and aspect "mining" within systems code
- Application- or domain-specific optimization of systems
- Reasoning and optimization across architectural layers
- Quantitative and qualitative evaluations
AGENDA
The workshop will be structured to encourage fruitful discussions
and build connections between workshop participants. To this end,
approximately half of the workshop time will be devoted to short
presentations of accepted papers, with the remaining half devoted to
semi-structured discussion groups. Participants will be expected to
have read the accepted papers prior to the workshop, to help ensure
focused discussions.
A novelty at ACP4IS '10 is that we will invite workshop attendees to
give "spontaneous" short presentations on their work if they see a
relation to topics being presented and discussed at the workshop.
These presentations will be limited to about ten minutes, and are
intended to provide additional structured input to discussions.
Spontaneous presentations will be asked for during the workshop; no
paper needs to be submitted, and no publication is associated with
them. There will be a session dedicated to them, just prior to
discussion.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Invitation to the workshop will be based on accepted position
papers, 3-5 pages in length. All papers must be submitted as PDF
documents in ACM format through the ACP4IS 2010 online submission
system found at:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acp4is10.
Paper submissions will be reviewed by the workshop program committee
and by designated reviewers. Papers will be evaluated based on
technical quality, originality, relevance, and presentation.
PUBLICATION OF PAPERS
All accepted papers will be posted at the workshop web site prior to
the workshop date, to give all participants the opportunity to read
them before the workshop. In addition, the accepted papers will be
published in a Workshop Proceedings in the ACM Digital Library.

~~~ ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The IEEE EDOC Conference is the key annual event in enterprise
computing. EDOC conferences address the full range of engineering
technologies and methods contributing to intra- and inter-enterprise
distributed application systems. EDOC 2010 will be the fourteenth event
in the series of conferences. Since 1997, EDOC has brought together
leading computer science researchers, IT decision makers, IT architects,
solution designers and practitioners to discuss enterprise computing
challenges, models and solutions from the perspectives of academia,
industry and government.
Enterprise computing is based on a wide (and ever growing) range of
methods, models, tools and technologies. The resulting applications also
cover a broad spectrum of vertical domains and industry segments, from
electronic and mobile commerce to real-time business applications for
collaborating enterprises. In recent years, technologies related to
business processes integration, management, execution and monitoring
have become some of the top areas of interest in enterprise computing.
Today, the creation, operation and evolution of enterprise computing
systems create challenges that range from high-level requirements and
policy modeling to the deployment and maintenance of solutions in and
across customer businesses.
The IEEE EDOC Conference emphasizes a holistic view on enterprise
applications engineering and management, fostering integrated approaches
that can address and relate processes, people and technology. The themes
of openness and distributed computing, based on services, components and
objects, provide a useful and unifying conceptual framework.
IEEE EDOC 2010 welcomes high quality scientific submissions as well as
papers on enterprise computing industry experiences. Expert panel
discussions and keynotes will address hot topics and issues in the domain.
IEEE EDOC 2010 will be realized in Vit?ria, ES, Brazil. Vit?ria is one
of the three island capitals of Brazilian states, and is located in the
Southeastern region, the most developed of Brazil. The city lies between
the Atlantic Ocean and the Serra do Mar mountain range and is
strategically located close to the big urban centres of the country and
is, on average, an hour by plane from Rio de Janeiro and S?o Paulo.
~~~ TOPICS

research papers should describe original results that have not been
accepted or submitted for publication elsewhere. These papers will be
evaluated for scientific or technical contribution, originality,
appropriateness and significance. Experience reports should describe new
insights gained from case studies or the application of enterprise
computing technology in practice, contribute important feedback about
the state of practice and how current research is applied, and pose
challenges for researchers. These papers will be evaluated based on
their appropriateness, significance and clarity.
All papers should be limited to 10 pages in length. All submissions must
comply with the IEEE Computer Society conference proceedings format
guidelines (http://www2.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting)
(please use the latest template as there have been updates recently).
Submissions must be in English. Submissions should be made
electronically in PDF format via the electronic submission system of the
EDOC Conference Management system (hosted at
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=edoc2010). All papers will be
refereed by at least 3 members of the international program committee.
The conference proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer
Society Press and will be accessible through IEEE Xplore and the IEEE
Computer Society Digital Library. The IEEE reserves the right to exclude
a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE
Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference.
~~~ POST CONFERENCE PUBLICATION
The authors of a set of selected papers will be invited to prepare a
substantially revised and extended version of their papers for
publication in a special journal issue (details will be announced
later). In previous years, selected papers from EDOC have been published
in Springer's Information Systems Frontiers (ISF), Enterprise
Information Systems (EIS), and International Journal of Cooperative
Information Systems (IJCIS). Additionally, selected papers will be
considered for publication of an extended version in a volume of

CALL FOR PAPERS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Workshop on Matching and Meaning:
Automated development, evolution and interpretation of ontologies
http://dream.inf.ed.ac.uk/events/wmm-2010
31st March 2010, part of AISB'10 Convention, Leicester, UK
OVERVIEW
The problem of semantic misalignment - of two (or more) systems failing
to understand one another when their semantic representation is not
identical - occurs in a huge variety of areas: the Semantic Web,
databases, natural language processing; anywhere, indeed, where
semantics are necessary but centralised control is undesirable or
impractical. In highly dynamic domains, where interactions are between
a large, diverse and evolving community, there is a need for the
resolving of these misalignments - through developing and evolving
existing ontologies or interpreting unknown ontologies in terms of
known ones - to be done automatically and on-the-fly.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers interested in
the problems of automated development, evolution and interpretation of
ontologies in the many different domains in which it occurs. We are
primarily interested in the exchange of ideas and the stimulation of
debate, and the workshop is intended to be a forum for researchers to
present ongoing work and ideas and to engage in discussion with other
researchers from the field. We are particularly interested in novel
ideas and innovative research, which may be in its early stages, and
encourage reports on work in progress.
Topics of interest include:
* Ontology evolution
* Ontology matching and alignment
* Ontology versioning
* Representational or structural change
* Formal aspects of ontology dynamics
* Formalisation of and reasoning with contexts
* Foundational issues
* Social and collaborative matching
* Background knowledge in matching
* Extensions to ontology languages to better support change
* Non-monotonic reasoning for ontologies and the Semantic Web
* Inconsistency handling in evolving ontologies
* Uncertainty in matching
* Change propagation in ontologies and metadata
* Ontologies for dynamic environments
* Dynamic knowledge construction and exploitation
* Matching for dynamic applictions (e.g., p2p, agents, web-services)
* Case studies, software tools, use cases, applications
* Open problems
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
We encourage the submission of extended abstracts of 2-5 pages that
discuss ongoing research, problem descriptions and overviews of the
domain. Accepted papers will be included in the AISB 2010 proceedings
unless the authors prefer them not to be (for example, if the work is
very similar to work presented elsewhere which they nevertheless feel
it would be valuable to present in this context, or if the work is at
a stage where discussion would be valuable but publication would be
premature). Authors wishing their submissions to be included in the
convention proceedings must follow the style guide on the convention
website.
Submissions will be subject to light reviewing, mainly intended to
check fit to workshop.
Abstracts should be submitted electronically in pdf format to
mchan-at-ed.ac.uk by 18th December 2009. Notification of acceptance
will be sent to the submitting author on 15th February 2010.
VENUE
The workshop will take place at De Montfort University in Leicester,
as part of the AISB 2010 Convention
(http://www.aisb.org.uk/convention/aisb10/), from March 31st to 1st
April, 2010. All workshop participants must be registered for the AISB
2010 Convention. Registration for this workshop is included in the
convention registration fee.
IMPORTANT DATES

CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Issue on Advances in Software Engineering with Soft-Computing
During the last few years, a number of software engineering
researchers are focusing on applying soft-computing and computational
intelligence techniques to their research. In software engineering,
problems such as planning and decision making, finding patterns for
defective modules, effort estimation, testing and test case
generation, knowledge extraction, etc. can be reformulated using a set
of techniques under the umbrella of soft-computing. This includes
searching and optimization techniques such as genetic algorithms,
meta-heuristics, data mining, fuzzy logic, Bayesian networks, etc. All
these techniques, already extensively used in other areas, are
incrementally being applied in software engineering. This special
issue aims at providing an overview of works on computational
intelligence techniques to the software engineering field including:
? Studies, applications and tools to extract information from Software
repositories
? System Dynamics applied to Soft Eng.
? Visualisation in software projects
? Software testing with data-mining or meta-heuristic techniques
? Project management with data-mining or meta-heuristic techniques
? Design of software engineering repositories
? Data quality in software repositories (noise, unbalanced datasets,
outliers, etc.)
? Planning and scheduling
? Software mining
? Etc.
Important dates
? Submission Deadline: December 31, 2009

Dear Colleagues,
The Third IEEE International Scalable Computing Challenge (SCALE 2010),
sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Scalable
Computing (TCSC).
Objective and Focus: The objective of the Third IEEE International
Scalable Computing Challenge (SCALE 2010), sponsored by the IEEE
Computer Society Technical Committee on Scalable Computing (TCSC), is to
highlight and showcase real-world problem solving using computing that
scales.
Effective solutions to many scientific problems require applications
that can scale. There are different dimensions to application scaling:
for example, applications can scale-up to large number of cores or
compute units, scale-out to utilize multiple distinct compute units, or
scale-down to release resources that are no longer needed. In order to
scale, applications need the support of tools, middleware,
infrastructure, programming systems, etc. SCALE is concerned with
advances in application development and supporting infrastructure that
enable scaling.
Call for Proposals: The Third IEEE International Scalable Computing
Challenge (SCALE 2010) contest will focus on end-to-end problem solving
using concepts, technologies and architectures (including Clusters,
Grids and Clouds) that facilitate scaling. Participants in the challenge
will be expected to identify significant current real-world problems
where scalable computing techniques can be effectively used, and design,
implement, evaluate and demonstrate solutions. SCALE2010 will be held in
conjunction with the 10th CCGrid Conference in Melbourne, Australia on
17-20 May, 2010.
We invite teams to submit white papers outlining the problem addressed
and the technologies employed to enable applications to scale. White
papers should be up to 4 pages long, 12-pt. font and single column, and
in addition to listing team members and contact information, should
clearly outline:
1. The problem being solved and the technology employed
2. The application scenario and its requirements
3. Performance data and a qualitative description of how the application
scales -- scale-up, scale-out or any other type of scaling
4. The solution -- architecture, underlying concepts and technologies
used -- highlighting the innovative aspects of the solution
5. Impact of the solution, including extensibility and uniqueness of
results, and the extent to which the presented solution pushes the
envelope in scalable computing
6. Analysis of solution and technology employed compared to related
approaches
Papers will be shortlisted using the above 6 points as merit criteria,
and up to 6 papers will be invited to compete in a final round at CCGrid
2010.
In addition to the above, finalists will be judged on the quality of
their presentation, which shall include a 5-minute demonstration, as
well as their responses to questions by a technical committee.
Participation from students and young researchers, especially in
leadership roles, is strongly encouraged. Selected teams will receive an
award of up to US$1000 to help with travel to the conference. At least
one member from each selected team will be expected to present and
demonstrate their project at CCGrid 2010.
Awards:
First prize: Plaque + US$1000
Second prize: Plaque + US$500
Tentative timeline:
The deadline for submitting proposals is 01 Feb, 2010. Decisions: 15
Feb, 2010.
Final presentation/demo: 17-20 May, 2010.

Presentation
---------------------------
Model-Based Engineering (MBE) is an approach to the design and
development of software and systems that relies on exploiting high-
level models and computer-based automation to achieve significant
boosts in both productivity and quality. The ECMFA (European
Conference on Modelling Foundations and Applications) conference
series (formerly known as the ECMDA-FA conference series) is dedicated
to advancing the state of knowledge and fostering the industrial
application of MBE and related approaches. Its focus is on engaging
the key figures of research and industry in a dialogue which will
result in stronger and more effective practical application of MBE,
producing thereby more reliable software based on state-of-the-art
research results.
In addition to the technical paper, the conference will include
workshops, tutorials, tool demonstrations, and poster exhibitions on
these topics.
Below are the calls for these various events.
---------------------------
CALL FOR PAPERS

Software systems in today?s multi-faceted world are as diverse as
the people who use them. While some are built according to rigorous
government regulations, others must be delivered quickly to meet
time-to-market deadlines or must be responsive to changing business
needs. From a requirements engineering perspective, there is certainly
no ?one-size-fits-all? solution.
RE?10 will explore techniques and methods for eliciting, analyzing,
specifying, and managing requirements across diverse development teams
where stakeholders often come from entirely different cultural,
linguistic, geographical, and educational backgrounds; and across a
broad spectrum of software projects that encompass both formal and
informal development techniques and represent both small and very
large scale projects.
RESEARCH TRACK
==============
RE?10 invites high-quality submissions in the following areas:
Technical solution papers - present solutions for requirements-related
problems that are novel or significantly improve on an existing
solution. A technical solution paper must include a preliminary
validation of the proposed solution.
Scientific evaluation papers - evaluate existing problem situations or
validate/refute proposed solutions with scientific means, i.e., by
empirical studies, experiments, case studies, simulations, formal analyses,
mathematical proofs, etc. Scientific reflection on problems and practices
in industry also falls into this category.
Visionary papers - 10 years into the new century, we invite visionary
and contemplative papers that explore the history, successes, and
challenges of various requirements-related practices and research agendas.
These papers will be published in a separate section of the proceedings.
Eligible topics include anything related to the elicitation, analysis,
specification, or verification of requirements. For a full list of
valid topics, please visit the RE?10 website: http://www.re10.org.
PRACTITIONER TRACK
==================
RE?10 will include a rich program to meet the needs of practitioners.
Some of the highlights include a track for business analyst and agile
requirements. RE?10 invites high-quality submissions in the following
categories:
Industry practice and experience papers - present challenges encountered
in practice, innovations in industrial practice, or success or failure
stories.
Extended abstracts - include a brief description of a requirements
related problem, a position statement based on a particular experience
with current practices and processes.
Tool demos - describes a new requirements-related tool to support
industrial process, techniques for selecting a good tool, or overview
of cutting edge tools.

Subject: [ecoop-info] 2nd CFP: First International Symposium on Architecting
Critical Systems (ISARCS 2010)
Message-ID: <4AFFC485.8000508@hpi.uni-potsdam.de>
2ND CALL FOR PAPERS
First International Symposium on
Architecting Critical Systems (ISARCS 2010)
Prague, Czech Republic, June 23-25 2010
http://www.isarcs.org/isarcs2010
Federated with CompArch 2010
>> Submission deadline: 10 February 2010 <<
Proceedings are published as a Springer LNCS volume
(plus followup special issue in the IJCCBS journal)
Architecting critical systems has gained major importance in commercial,
governmental and industrial sectors. Emerging software applications
encompass criticalities that are associated with either the whole
system or some of its components. Therefore, effective methods,
techniques, and tools for constructing, testing, analyzing, and
evaluating the architectures for critical systems are of major
importance. Furthermore, these methods, techniques and tools must
address issues of dependability and security, while focusing not only
on the development, but also on the deployment and evolution of the
architecture.
This new symposium aims to be an exclusive forum for exchanging views on
the theory and practice for architecting critical systems. Such systems
are characterized by the perceived severity of consequences that faults
or attacks may cause, and architecting them requires appropriate means
to assure that they will fulfil their specified services in a dependable
and secure manner.
The different attributes of dependability and security cannot be
considered in isolation as architecting critical systems essentially
means to find the right trade-off among these attributes and the various
other requirements imposed on the system. This symposium therefore
brings together four communities addressing the architecting of critical
systems from their perspectives, and each one having their own
respective dissemination forums, namely dependability, safety, security
and testing/analysis for architecting systems. To this end the symposium
unites the following three events: Workshop on Architecting Dependable
Systems (WADS), Workshop on the Role of Software Architecture for
Testing and Analysis (ROSATEA), and Workshop on Views On Designing
Complex Architectures (VODCA).
The aim of ISARCS is to bring together expertise from different
communities in order to provide a comprehensive view on how to design,
develop, deploy and evolve critical systems from the architectural
perspective. We are interested in submissions from both industry and
academia, including, but not limited to, the following main areas:
* Rigorous development: architectural description languages;
architectural styles; architectural patterns; architectural support
for evolution; integrators (wrappers) for dependability; model
driven development; component based development; aspects oriented
development; assurance based development;
* Testing and analysis based on architecture: testing; simulation;
inspection techniques; type checking; run-time checks;
model-checking; theorem proving; fault injection
* Fault tolerance based on the architecture: tolerating architectural
mismatches; redundancy and diversity; error confinement; monitoring;
exception handling; self-healing
* Safety-critical systems & architecture: hazard and risk analysis;
safety case generation, evaluation for safety properties; formal
methods;
* Secure systems & architecture: secure ADLs; secure architectural
styles; secure connectors; verification of security properties;
access control policies; intrusion detection;
* Combined approaches: integrated processes; combination of methods;
interplay of techniques; integration of analysis techniques; the
integration of tools;
* Relevant domains with critical systems: critical infrastructures;
embedded systems; mobile and ubiquitous systems; automotive systems;
avionic systems; e-commerce; e-business; e-government;
* Industrial needs: reports about industrial case studies, challenges,
problems and solutions
Accepted contributions will be published in a volume of the Springer
Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Papers should not exceed 16
pages, must be written in English, and prepared according to Springer's
LNCS style (guidelines: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html).
The authors of the best papers will be invited to submit a revised and
extended version of their paper after the symposium to a related special
issue of the International Journal of Critical Computer-Based Systems
(IJCCBS: http://www.inderscience.com/browse/index.php?journalCODE=ijccbs).
Papers must not have been previously published or currently submitted
elsewhere for publication. If accepted, the paper must be personally
presented at ISARCS 2010 by one author.

SCOPE
=====
Computer security is an established field of computer science of both
theoretical and practical significance. In recent years, there has
been increasing interest in logic-based foundations for various
methods in computer security, including the formal specification,
analysis and design of security protocols and their applications, the
formal definition of various aspects of security such as access
control mechanisms, mobile code security and denial-of-service
attacks, and the modeling of information flow and its application to
confidentiality policies, system composition, and covert channel
analysis.
We are interested both in new results in theories of computer security
and also in more exploratory presentations that examine open questions
and raise fundamental concerns about existing theories, as well as in
new results on developing and applying automated reasoning techniques
and tools for the formal specification and analysis of security
protocols. We thus solicit submissions of papers both on mature work
and on work in progress.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
Automated reasoning techniques, Composition issues, Formal
specification, Foundations of verification, Information flow analysis,
Language-based security, Logic-based design, Program transformation,
Security models, Static analysis, Statistical methods, Tools, Trust
management
for
Access and resource usage control, Authentication, Availability and
denial of service, Covert channels, Confidentiality, Integrity and
privacy, Intrusion detection, Malicious code, Mobile code, Mutual
distrust, Privacy, Security policies, Security protocols
ARSPA is a series of workshops on Automated Reasoning for Security
Protocol Analysis, bringing together researchers and practitioners
from both the security and the formal methods communities, from
academia and industry, who are working on developing and applying
automated reasoning techniques and tools for the formal specification
and analysis of security protocols. The first two ARSPA workshops were
held as satellite events of the 2nd International Joint Conference on
Automated Reasoning (IJCAR'04) and of the 32nd International
Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming (ICALP'05),
respectively. ARSPA then joined forces with the workshop FCS
(Foundations of Computer Security): FCS-ARSPA'06 was affiliated with
LICS'06, in the context of FLoC'06, and FCS-ARSPA'07 was affiliated
with LICS'07 and ICALP'07.
WITS is the official annual workshop organised by the IFIP WG 1.7 on
"Theoretical Foundations of Security Analysis and Design", established
to promote the investigation on the theoretical foundations of
security, discovering and promoting new areas of application of
theoretical techniques in computer security and supporting the
systematic use of formal techniques in the development of security
related applications. This is the tenth meeting in the series.
In 2008, ARSPA and WITS joined with the workshop on Foundations of
Computer Security FCS for a joint workshop FCS-ARSPA-WITS'08
associated with LICS 2008 and CSF 21. In 2009, ARSPA and WITS joined
forces for the joint workshop ARSPA-WITS'09, which was associated with
ETAPS 2009. In 2010, ARSPA and WITS will again join forces for the
joint workshop ARSPA-WITS'10, which is associated with ETAPS 2010.
The aim of the joint workshop ARSPA-WITS'10 is to provide a forum for
continued activity in different areas of computer security, bringing
computer security researchers in closer contact with the ETAPS
community and giving ETAPS attendees an opportunity to talk to experts
in computer security, on the one hand, and contribute to bridging the
gap between logical methods and computer security foundations, on the
other.
SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
==========================
All submissions will be peer-reviewed. Authors of accepted papers must
guarantee that their paper will be presented at the workshop. To
preserve ARSPA-WITS's tradition of being an open forum, authors may
decide whether they would like a revised version of a paper to appear
in the post-proceedings. Authors should clearly state at time of
submission whether a paper is intended for presentation only or also
for publication: this should be stated at the end of the abstract of
the paper. Papers for presentation only may substantially overlap
other (cited) work of the authors. This choice will not affect the
selection procedure in any other way.
Submissions should be at most 16 page long excluding references and
appendices with a total length not exceeding 20 pages. Manuscripts
should be written in the Springer LNCS style available at the URL
http://www.springer.com/lncs. If your paper does not fit into this
page limit, please contact the Program Chairs before submitting your
paper.
Authors are invited to submit their papers electronically, as portable
document format (pdf) or postscript (ps); please, do not send files
formatted for work processing packages (e.g., Microsoft Word or
Wordperfect files). The only mechanism for paper submissions is via
the electronic submission web-site powered by EasyChair:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=arspawits10
The post-proceedings of the workshop will be published by in the
series. A special issue of the Journal of Computer Security, with an
additional reviewing process, is also planned.

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
Distributed application technology has become a foundation of the
information
society. New computing and communication technologies have brought up a
multitude of challenging application areas, including mobile computing,
inter-enterprise collaborations, ubiquitous services, service-oriented
architectures, autonomous and self-adapting systems, peer-to-peer
systems,
just to name a few. New challenges include the need for novel
abstractions
supporting the development, deployment, management and
interoperability of
evolutionary and complex applications and services, such as those
bridging the
physical/virtual worlds. Therefore, the linkage between applications,
platforms and users through multi-disciplinary user requirements (like
security, privacy, usability, efficiency, safety, semantic and pragmatic
interoperability of data and services, dependability, trust and
self-adaptivity) becomes of special interest. It is envisaged that
future
complex applications will far exceed those of today in terms of these
requirements.
The DAIS conference series addresses all aspects of distributed
applications,
including their design, implementation and operation, the supporting
middleware, appropriate software engineering methodologies and tools,
as well
as experimental studies and practice reports. This time we welcome in
particular contributions on architectures, models, technologies and
platforms
for large scale and complex distributed applications and services that
are
related to the latest trends towards bridging the physical/virtual
worlds
based on flexible and versatile service architectures and platforms.
DAIS'10 is the 10th event in a series of successful international
conferences
which started in 1997. It will provide a forum for researchers,
application
and platform service vendors and users, to review, discuss and learn
about new
approaches, trends, concepts and experiences in the fields of
distributed
computing.

Call for Demonstrations
Important Dates
Demonstration Submission : Friday, December 18, 2009, 23:59 (Samoan)
Acceptance notification : Monday, January 18, 2010
Demonstrations serve to disseminate advances embodied in research-oriented
tools and systems that use or support AOSD. Attendees learn about emerging
technologies and have opportunities to interact with their developers.
Presenters gain excellent opportunities to increase the visibility and
impact of their work. AOSD.10 solicits high quality proposals for its
demonstration track. Demonstrations can range across commercial, academic,
and corporate research systems.
Demonstrations will be selected on the basis of technical merit, novelty,
relevance to the AOSD community, and feasibility of presentation. The
presentation should be focused on technical content and given by the
technical members of the team.
There are two types of demonstrations: Forum demos and Tabletop demos. The
intent is to split demos into those that can be shown without a formal
presentation and those that require one.
In Tabletop demos, the presenter is seated at a table, and is surrounded by
a number of chairs for attendants. There is no conceptual introduction,
instead the demonstration starts with showing the tool itself. This form of
demonstration is especially suited for extensions to tools which are well
known, as no introduction is needed, or for demos where more interaction
with the audience is expected, as the setting is more intimate. Tabletop
demos are allocated 30 minutes, with 20 minutes for the demonstration and
10 minutes for questions and discussion. Authors of regular research papers
are also welcome to submit accompanying demonstrations.
Forum demos start with a conceptual introduction of about 10 minutes before
the tool itself is demonstrated. This form of demos is suited for tools
which are not well-known or new, or have been significantly extended in
recent times. A Forum demo is allocated 45 minutes, with 10 minutes for a
presentation, 25 minutes for the demonstration and 10 minutes for questions
and discussion.
Every demonstration will be scheduled twice for presentation. Also,
demonstration presenters will have the opportunity to give a 1-minute
overview of their demonstration during a conference plenary session.
There will also be space set aside where any conference attendee can give
an informal demonstration. Demonstrations included in the program are also
allowed and encouraged to be presented informally.
Topics of interest include (though are not limited to):
* support for application of the aspect-oriented paradigm throughout
the development life-cycle
* new technologies for aspect weaving/compilation
* reverse engineering of aspects from existing software artifacts
* reusable library aspects
* interesting applications of AOSD
Other Information :
* Abstracts of all accepted demonstrations will be included as part of the
formal proceedings.
* Submission Guidelines are described in the Call for demonstrations on the
website of the Conference.
* How to Submit: Proposals should be submitted by email to the
Demonstration Chair (Philippe Lahire) at demonstrations at aosd.net

Workshop on Aspect Oriented Requirements Engineering and
Architecture Design (Early Aspects @ AOSD 2010)
"Early Aspects and Climate Change"
Call for Papers
http://www.aosd-europe.net/eaAOSD2010
to be held in conjunction with AOSD 2010:
International Conference on Aspect-Oriented Software Development
March, 2010
Rennes, France
********************************************************************
*DESCRIPTION*
Early aspects are crosscutting concerns that exist in requirements analysis,
domain analysis and architecture design activities of software lifecycle. Work
on early aspects focuses on systematically identifying, modularizing, and
analyzing such crosscutting concerns and their impact at these early phases of
the software development. The Early Aspects workshop provides a forum for an
open set of early-aspects related topics.
Although submissions to the workshop are NOT restricted to a particular domain,
the theme of this year's workshop at AOSD'10 is "Early Aspects and Climate
Change". Climate change affects us all. Thus, we would like to encourage the
early aspects community to consider what particular contributions the AO
requirements and architecture design can contribute to tackling the climate
change issues. For instance, since AOSD focuses on modularisation of
crosscutting concerns, climate change lends itself as an excellent domain for
AOSD techniques. This is because such issues as carbon emission, energy use,
nature conservation affect all areas of software (e.g., processor use,
application archtiecture, requirements level trade-off analysis, modelling of
the sustainability goals, etc.). Thus, climate change can be addressed in
software engineering in a multitude of ways, ranging from minimising the
environmental impact of newly developed software to reducing the environmental
impact of business processes, and creating software for analysing and
understanding the climate-change effects. In all of these cases a range of
crosscutting concerns will arise (environmental impact not least of them),
making it natural to look to early-aspects technologies for their modularisation
and treatment in software.
In summary, the specific objectives of this AOSD 2010 workshop are:
(a) Solicit submissions of new research on early aspects.
(b) Trigger work on identifying and tackling the problems related to climate
change via the early aspects technology

CALL FOR PAPERS ICSE 2010 SEAMS
Software Engineering for Adaptive and Self-Managing Systems (SEAMS)
Two-Day ICSE Workshop: May 3-4, 2010 Cape Town, South Africa
http://www.inf.usi.ch/seams
THEME
With the rapid growth of web services and the continuous evolution
from software-intensive systems to socio-technical ecosystems, the
management complexity of these modern, decentralized, distributed
computing systems presents significant challenges for businesses and
often exceeds the capabilities of human operators. End-users
increasingly demand from businesses that they provide software systems
that are versatile, resilient, dependable, robust, service-oriented,
meshable, inter-operable, continuously available, decentralized, self-
healing, configurable, or self-optimizing.
One of the most promising approaches to achieving some of these
properties is to equip software systems with feedback control to
address the management of inherent system dynamics. The resulting self-
adapting and self-managing computing systems are better able to cope
with and even accommodate changing environments, shifting
requirements, and computing-on-demand needs.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
The goal of this symposium is to bring together researchers and
practitioners from many of these diverse areas to discuss the
fundamental principles, state of the art, and critical challenges of
self-adaptive and self-managing systems. Specifically, we intend to
focus on the software engineering aspects to support dynamical
adaptive and self-managing behaviour. In this 5th workshop, we will
look at results achieved in self-adaptability and experimental systems
to compare approaches and results.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- feedback control and architecture patterns for self-adaptation and
self-management;
- models and algorithms for software self-management;
- integration mechanisms for self-adaptive and self-managing systems;
- formal notations for modeling and analyzing software self-adaptation;
- methods for engineering user-trust of self-adaptive and self-
managing systems;
- methods to instrument existing systems to observe self-managing
behaviour over long periods of time;
- dynamical verification and validation of self-managing software;
- evaluation and assurance for self-adaptive systems;
- decision algorithms for self-adaptive systems;
- exemplars for benchmarking.
The following application areas are of particular interest: autonomic
computing; problem determination including logging, analysis and
diagnostics; mobile computing; dependable computing; autonomous
robotics; adaptable user interfaces; service-oriented applications.
We strongly encourage submissions about engineering self-adaptive
computing systems from components.
PAPER SUBMISSION DETAILS
We invite
- position papers and progress reports describing ongoing work or new
ideas,
- research papers and experience reports describing validated research
results,
- survey papers
all within the scope of the workshop.
Papers should be between 5-10 pages long and must not have been
previously published or submitted elsewhere. Accepted papers will be
published in the ACM and IEEE Digital Libraries under SEAMS 2010
Workshop Proceedings as part of the ICSE 2010 Workshop publications.
Please submit papers for SEAMS 2010 electronically using SEAMS 2010
electronic submission web site which is powered by CyberChairPROv7.
Please follow the ICSE 2010 paper format instructions.

Software Engineering) Call for Papers

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
CALL FOR PAPERS
First International Workshop on
Product LinE Approaches
in Software Engineering (PLEASE 2010)
held in conjunction with
the 32nd International Conference
on Software Engineering (ICSE 2010)
http://please2010.haifa.il.ibm.com/
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
1 WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
===================
Software Product Line Engineering (SPLE) is an engineering technique for creating a portfolio of similar systems from a shared set of software assets. It capitalizes on identifying commonalities and points of variability across the portfolio and promotes strategic software reuse. Organizations that adopt SPLE are able to achieve significant improvement in development and maintenance costs, time-to-market, portfolio size, and quality.
This workshop's main goal is to explore new ways for making SPLE more approachable to software practitioners from all segments of the industry, thus broadening its adoption. We seek to tear down barriers by allowing the SPLE community to share its ideas regarding approaches, techniques and tools, with the broader software engineering community.
In addition, the workshop designates Beyond Traditional Product Lines as a special theme: Traditionally, SPLE builds on the assumptions that (a) the scope of the product line is clearly defined in advance and stays relatively stable and (b) SPLE activities are mainly performed within and controlled by one organization. These assumptions fall apart as soon as the product line starts to evolve or the SPLE value chains extend across organizational boundaries.
As a direct result we designate the following question as the workshop's special theme: How do we deal with scenarios where we want to design and build families of similar systems, but (a) cannot rely on a clearly defined and stable scope and (b) the software ecosystem extends beyond organizational boundaries?
2 TOPICS
========
Topics of the workshop include (but are not limited to) the following:
* Model-driven approaches for software product line engineering
* Variant management, notations and representation
* Product line engineering for very large, complex systems and systems-of-systems
* Software product lines in software ecosystems
* Inter-organizational approaches to product lines
* Incremental development of product lines
* Validation of product lines
* Product line evolution and software configuration management
* Migration strategies towards product lines; extracting product line models from legacy software artifacts
* Empirical studies and experience reports
* Vision of the future of product line engineering
3 KEYNOTE
=========
PLEASE 2010 is proud to host Linda Northrop as our keynote speaker. As head of the Software Engineering Institute Ms. Northrop leads the work in software product lines, systems of systems, ultra-large-scale systems, and more.

Final version due: February 15th, 2010
AOSD Early registration deadline: February 22nd, 2010
Workshop: March 16, 2010
**Scope**
The tendency to raise the abstraction level in programming languages
towards a particular domain is also a major driving force in the
research domain of aspect-oriented programming languages. As a matter
of fact, pioneering work in this field was conducted by devising small
domain-specific aspect languages (DSALs) such as COOL for concurrency
management and RIDL for serialization, RG, AML, and others. After a
dominating focus on general-purpose languages, research in the AOSD
community is again taking this path in search of innovative
approaches, insights and a deeper understanding of fundamentals behind
AOP. Based on the successful DSAL'06, '07, '08 and '09 workshops, and
the
special issue of IET Software journal on Domain-Specific Aspect
Languages, this workshop series continues to support a growing trend
in AOSD research.
The workshop aims to bring the research communities of domain-specific
language engineering and domain-specific aspect design together. In
the previous successful editions held at GPCE06/OOPSLA06 and AOSD07 we
approached domain-specific aspect languages both from a design and a
language implementation point of view. At AOSD08 and 09 we also invited
contributions of work on adding domain-specific extensions (DSXs) to
general-purpose aspect languages (GPALs). We continue this trend for
this edition as the focus on language embedding raises specific issues
for language designers, such as proper symbiosis between, and
composition of, DSXs.
**Topics**
We seek contributions related to domain-specific aspect languages,
more particularly (but not limited to):
- design of DSALs and DSXs
- successful DSALs, DSXs and their applications
- issues in both design and implementation of DSALs and DSXs
- methodologies and tools suitable for creating DSALs and DSXs
- semantics and composition of DSALs and DSXs
- disciplined approaches for invasive metaprogramming
- error reporting in DSALs and debugging of DSALs
- approaches for composable language embeddings
- mechanisms for interaction detection and handling in DSALs
- theoretical foundations for DSALs
- analysis about the specificity spectrum in aspect languages
- key challenges for future work in the area
A good analysis of conflicting forces is at least as useful for
potential participants of this workshop as descriptions of original
new approaches or experience reports.
**Submissions**
The workshop accepts three types of submissions: work-in-progress
papers, position papers, and technical papers.
Papers should be formatted in SIGPLAN proceedings style
(sigplanconf.cls). Page limit depends on the type of submission: 3
pages for work-in-progress and position papers, 5 pages for technical
papers.
The DSAL10 review process is managed by the EasyChair conference
system, the submission page is
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dsal10
Accepted papers will be made available on the website prior to the
workshop so that participants can read them.
**Format of the workshop**
The format of the workshop will echo the format used in the previous
editions:
A number of plenary sessions will first be held, according to grouping
of accepted papers, consisting of (1) brief presentations of selected
papers, (2) a discussion with the presenting authors including
participation from the audience.
Second, interactive group work will be performed to identify relevant
issues in the domain and possible ways to address them.

Important Dates:
==============
Abstract Submission Deadline: Feb. 15, 2010

Review Policy
=============
IEEE Policy and professional ethics require that referees treat the contents
of papers under review as privileged information not to be disclosed to
others before publication. It is expected that no one with access to a paper
under review will make any inappropriate use of the special knowledge that
access provides. Contents of abstracts submitted to conference program
committees should be regarded as privileged as well, and handled in the same
manner. The Conference Publications Chair shall ensure that referees adhere
to this practice.
Organizers of IEEE conferences are expected to provide an appropriate forum
for the oral presentations and discussions of all accepted papers. An
author, in offering a paper for presentation at an IEEE conference, or
accepting an invitation to present a paper, is expected to be present at the
meeting to deliver the paper. In the event that circumstances unknown at the
time of submission of a paper preclude its presentation by an author, the
program chair should be informed on time, and appropriate substitute
arrangements should be made. In some cases it may help reduce no-shows for
the Conference to require advance registration together with the submission
of the final manuscript.

Seventh International Workshop on
Hot Topics in Peer-to-Peer Systems (Hot-P2P 2010)
http://hotp2p.univ-fcomte.fr
In conjunction with IPDPS 2010
Atlanta, USA -- April 23, 2010
---------------------------------------------------------------------
WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems are decentralized, self-organizing distributed
systems that cooperate to exchange data. These systems have emerged as the
dominant consumers of residential Internet subscribers' bandwidth, and are
being increasingly used in many different application domains. In the
last few
years, research on P2P systems has been quite intensive, and has produced
remarkable results in scalability, robustness, location, distributed
storage,
and system measurements. Consequently, P2P systems continue to evolve,
differentiating today's state-of-the-art from earlier instantiations such as
Napster, KaZaA, Gnutella, and Morpheus.
The International Workshop on Hot Topics in Peer-to-Peer Systems (Hot-P2P)
aims to bring together researchers and practitioners, from both industry and
academia, in the fields of systems, networking, and theory, and to
represent an
occasion to share latest research results and ideas on P2P systems, thereby
promoting research activities in this area.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* P2P applications and infrastructures
* Performance evaluation and workload characterization
* Trust and reputation in P2P systems
* Security and privacy in P2P systems
* Routing and fault-tolerance in P2P systems
* Resource discovery/management in P2P systems
* Network support for P2P systems
* Self-organization and self-management in P2P environments

META-ASPECT 2010
Workshop on Aspect-Oriented Meta-Modeling
http://meta-aspect.inria.fr/
To be held in conjunction with AOSD 2010
http://aosd.net/2010
March 16th, 2010, Rennes/Saint Malo, France
Important dates
---------------
Submission of papers : 21 December 2009
Notification of acceptance : 15 January 2010
Camera-ready copies : 2 February 2010
Workshop days : 16 March 2010
Objectives
---------------
Although aspect-oriented modeling techniques have been largely investigated
at the model level, application on the meta-modeling level are not yet
common.
However, there are a number of interesting approaches for applying aspect-
oriented techniques at the meta-modeling level, such as providing
variability in
UML or DSMLs. The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers
that are applying aspect-oriented techniques at the meta-modeling level,
and
discuss issues concerning the application of aspect-oriented
technologies in
the meta-modeling domain.
Topics
---------------
The proposed workshop support research that tries to bring AOSD to another
level by applying aspect-oriented modeling techniques at the meta-modeling
level instead of the modeling level. The workshop will focus on the special
theme of aspect-oriented meta-modeling. Other submission topics of interest
for the workshop include:
* Meta-model composition and abstraction
* Separation of concerns in meta-models
* Life cycle requirements engineering, design
* Evolution of meta-models
* Variability and extensions for domain specific modeling languages
* Product-line meta-modeling
For submissions relating to one of these topics, the link to
aspect-orientation
and meta-modeling should be sufficiently clear.

AsianPLoP 2010
1st Asian Conference on Pattern Languages of Programs
in Tokyo, Japan, March 16-17, 2010, collocated with
The GRACE International Symposium on Advanced Software Engineering
http://patterns-wg.fuka.info.waseda.ac.jp/asianplop/
---------------------------------------------------------------------
*Important Dates*
Paper submission due December 28, 2009
Shepherding begins January 6, 2010
Acceptance notification February 12, 2010
Final camera-ready February 26, 2010

---------------------------------------------------------------------
*Objective and Motivation*
Asian Conference on Pattern Languages of Programs (AsianPLoP) will
take place at the first time, as a premier event for pattern authors
and users to gather, discuss and learn more about patterns and software
development in the Asia region as well as other regions. The purpose of
AsianPLoP is to promote development of patterns, pattern languages,
technologies and experiences of patterns primarily about software;
however, these for domains outside software are also welcome.
AsianPLoP 2010 solicits paper submissions written in both of English and
Japanese; English papers and Japanese ones will be discussed in different
sessions. Both practitioners from the industry and academics are invited
to submit their papers. The conference solicits the papers for the
following different sessions.
* Writers' Workshop - papers that document patterns and pattern languages
will be workshopped in the traditional PLoP format.
* Technology Workshop - papers that explore theories, techniques,
applications, tools and case studies in patterns and related areas such
as agile developments.
* Writing Group - papers of newcomers who want to learn how to better
elaborate an idea intended to evolve to a pattern or pattern language.
This is more like a hands-on tutorial on writing patterns.
Thanks to our sponsors and supporters that the participation fee is
completely free for all of authors and attendants.
The invited speaker of AsianPLoP is Joshua Kerievsky, who is an author of
a Jolt Productivity awarded book "Refactoring to Patterns". He is a
founder and CEO of Industrial Logic, Inc., and a pioneer of Industrial XP.
He is also a senior consultant with Cutter Consortium's Agile Software
Development and Project Management practice.
AsianPLoP is a PLoP(R) Conference sanctioned by the Hillside Group.
PLoP is a registered trademark of The Hillside Group.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
*Paper Submission*
Paper submissions may include short papers (e.g. 1 page), containing
one or more patterns, longer pattern languages or sequences (e.g. 10
pages), or work-in-progress papers willing to get an in-depth
shepherding by an experienced pattern author at the conference.
There is no specific paper format; however the ACM conference format
( http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html ) is recommended
for papers in English because these papers are considered to be included
in a post-proceedings on ACM Digital Library (pending).
Submission site will open soon. Please submit your paper (in PDF) via
the submission site by the due date. After submission, papers will be
peer-reviewed to be accepted for the shepherding process. During
shepherding, authors will have assigned a shepherd that will help the
author to improve the content and style of the paper. At the end of the
shepherding process, papers will be peer-reviewed again to be accepted
into the Writers' Workshops of the conference.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
*Publication*
Accepted papers will be published in the workshop on-line proceedings
as a volume of GRACE Technical Report with ISSN. Papers in English will be
included in a post-proceedings archived at ACM Digital Library (pending).
Papers discussed at Writers Workshop qualify for submission to the
journal "TPLoP - Transactions on Pattern Languages of Programming"
published by Springer.

CMCS 2010 First call for papers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Tenth International Workshop on Coalgebraic Methods in Computer Science
26-28 March 2010, Paphos, Cyprus
(co-located with ETAPS 2010)
http://event.cwi.nl/cmcs10/
Aims and scope
------------------
The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers with a common
interest in the theory of coalgebras and its applications. Over the
last two decades, coalgebra has developed into a field of its own,
presenting a mathematical foundation for various kinds of dynamical
systems, infinite data structures, and logics. Coalgebra has an ever
growing range of applications in and interactions with other fields
such as reactive and interactive system theory, object oriented and
concurrent programming, formal system specification, modal logic,
dynamical systems, control systems, category theory, algebra,
analysis, etc.
The topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to:
* the theory of coalgebras (including set theoretic and categorical
approaches);
* coalgebras as computational and semantical models (for programming
languages, dynamical systems, etc.);
* coalgebras in (functional, object-oriented, concurrent) programming;
* coalgebras and data types;
* (coinductive) definition and proof principles for coalgebras (with
bisimulations or invariants);
* coalgebras and algebras;
* coalgebraic specification and verification;
* coalgebras and (modal) logic;
* coalgebra and control theory (notably of discrete event and hybrid
systems).
An anniversary: the 10th CMCS
----------------------------------------
CMCS took place for the first time when ETAPS started, in 1998. Since
then, it has always been collocated with ETAPS, becoming bi-annual
since the start of CALCO (Conference on Algebra and Coalgebra) in
2005.
In 2010, we will celebrate the 10th edition of CMCS,
by inviting a number of specialists in the field to present overviews
of both obtained results and future challenges.
Invited Speakers
---------------------
At this tenth meeting the following invited speakers will present
overviews of important subareas.
* Venanzio Capretta: Coalgebra in functional programming and type theory
* Bartek Klin: Operational semantics coalgebraically
* Dirk Pattinson: Logic and coalgebra
* Ana Sokolova: Probabilistic systems coalgebraically
Submissions
--------------
There are two types of submissions possible:
(a) Papers to be evaluated by the PC for publication in the proceedings:
They must have a length no greater than 20 pages. They must contain
original contributions, be clearly written, and include appropriate

The web-based system EasyChair will be used for submission
(http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cmcs10).
After the event, a special journal issue of selected papers will be
considered.
(b) Short contributions:
These will not be published in the proceedings but will be bundled in
a CWI technical report.
They should be no more than two pages and may describe work in
progress, summarise work submitted to a conference or workshop
elsewhere, or in some other way appeal to the CMCS audience. For

------------------------------------------------------------------------
First International Conference on Complex Systems Design and Management
(CSDM 2010)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
October 27-29, 2010 - Paris , Cit? Universitaire (France)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
//Call for papers//
The management of large-scale complex industrial systems has a
considerable strategic importance for an important number of
enterprises (most notably in Europe and North America). This spawned
the relatively new academic field of "system architecture &
engineering", producing a body of research that allows engineers to
manage the increasing complexity of the technical systems they
design. By its very nature, this field is at the interface between
industry and academia, and requires its practitioners to be well
versed in industrial application-related as well as theoretical
knowledge. The ambition of the CSDM conference is to be the meeting
point of reference for the industrial and academic environments
working in the design and management of complex industrial systems.
*Important dates*
- Optional abstract pre-submission deadline: January 4, 2010
- Submission deadline: January 22, 2010
- Acceptance notice for industrial contributions: March 15, 2010
- Acceptance notice for academics contributions: March 31, 2010
- Final version submission deadline: May 31, 2010

****************************************************************
Diagrams is an international and interdisciplinary conference series,
covering all aspects of research on the theory and application of diagrams.
Recent advances in technology have enabled the use of diagrams, sketches and
other visualizations to become an integral part of our lives. For effective
communication with these novel and sophisticated visual representations, we
need insight into how diagrams are used, how they are represented, which
types are available and when it is appropriate to use them. These concerns
have triggered a surge of interest in the study of diagrammatic notations
for communication, cognition, creative thought, computation and
problem-solving.
The study of diagrammatic notations and their use must be pursued as an
interdisciplinary endeavour. Diagrams is the only conference series that
provides a united forum for all areas that are concerned with the study of
diagrams: for example, architecture, artificial intelligence, cartography,
cognitive science, computer science, education, graphic design, history of
science, human-computer interaction, linguistics, logic, mathematics,
philosophy, psychology, and software modelling.
Diagrams 2010 is the sixth event in this conference series, which was
launched in Edinburgh in 2000. Diagrams attracts a large number of
researchers from virtually all related fields mentioned, placing the
conference as a major international event in the area.
Diagrams 2010 will be co-located with the 32nd Annual Meeting of the
Cognitive Science Society (Cogsci-2010). This co-location will provide a
lively and stimulating environment, enabling researchers from related
communities to exchange ideas and more widely disseminate research results.
Diagrams 2010 will consist of sessions including presentations of refereed
papers, posters, and also tutorial and workshop sessions. For the first time
in history of Diagrams we will organize workshops and postgraduate student
sessions. We invite submissions of:
- long research papers (15 pages)
- short research papers (7 pages)
- posters (3 pages)
- tutorial proposals (2 pages; see the conference web page for full details)
- workshop proposals (2 pages; see the conference web page for full details)
- graduate symposium submissions (3 pages; see the conference web page for

that focus on any aspect of diagrams research. Long papers should present
original research results. Short papers and posters should present original
research contributions, position or problem statements, summarize software
to support the use of diagrams, or integrate results published elsewhere
which are of interest to the Diagrams community.
All submissions will be fully peer reviewed. The proceedings, which will
include accepted long and short papers and posters, will be published by
Springer in their Lecture Notes in Computer Science series,
http://www.springer.com/lncs.

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
Distributed application technology has become a foundation of the information
society. New computing and communication technologies have brought up a
multitude of challenging application areas, including mobile computing,
inter-enterprise collaborations, ubiquitous services, service-oriented
architectures, autonomous and self-adapting systems, peer-to-peer systems,
just to name a few. New challenges include the need for novel abstractions
supporting the development, deployment, management and interoperability of
evolutionary and complex applications and services, such as those bridging the
physical/virtual worlds. Therefore, the linkage between applications,
platforms and users through multi-disciplinary user requirements (like
security, privacy, usability, efficiency, safety, semantic and pragmatic
interoperability of data and services, dependability, trust and
self-adaptivity) becomes of special interest. It is envisaged that future
complex applications will far exceed those of today in terms of these
requirements.
The DAIS conference series addresses all aspects of distributed applications,
including their design, implementation and operation, the supporting
middleware, appropriate software engineering methodologies and tools, as well
as experimental studies and practice reports. This time we welcome in
particular contributions on architectures, models, technologies and platforms
for large scale and complex distributed applications and services that are
related to the latest trends towards bridging the physical/virtual worlds
based on flexible and versatile service architectures and platforms.
DAIS'10 is the 10th event in a series of successful international conferences
which started in 1997. It will provide a forum for researchers, application
and platform service vendors and users, to review, discuss and learn about new
approaches, trends, concepts and experiences in the fields of distributed
computing.

Workshop on
Empirical Evaluation of Software Composition Techniques
(ESCOT 2010) at AOSD'10
16 March 2010
http://www.comp.lancs.ac.uk/~greenwop/escot10/
========================================================
Important Dates:
================
Paper submission: 8 January, 2010
Acceptance notification: 8 February, 2010
Final paper: 15 February, 2010
Objectives:
===========
Empirical evaluation is a key activity to enable us to reach evidence
and learn about the quality of our software artefacts. With
aspect-oriented (AO) and related composition techniques, such as model
composition techniques, collaboration languages, and feature-oriented
programming, fast gaining wide attention in both research and industry
environments, there is a pressing need to define proper assessment
mechanisms, techniques, and methods to evaluate these new composition
techniques. In fact, empirical evaluation is a deep concern to
researchers and practitioners in the area of software composition
techniques.
The ESCOT workshop is intended to cover wide range of topics on
evaluation of aspect-oriented and related composition techniques, from
theoretical foundations to assessment frameworks and empirical studies.
We encourage authors to present novel ideas, critiques of existing work,
and practical studies and experiments. We also welcome the submission of
position papers in all aspects of empirical evaluation of composition
techniques, including (but not limited to) the following:
* Lessons learned
* Empirical studies
* Comparative studies between different composition techniques
* Evaluation frameworks
* Software metrics and quality models
* Estimation models
* Validation of assessment methods for software composition techniques
* Assessment methods and tools to different phases of the software
lifecycle
* Development of predictive models of defect rates and reliability
from real data
* Infrastructure issues, such as measurement theory, experimental
design, qualitative modeling and analysis approaches
Submission and Submission Format
================================
The format of the workshop is discussion-oriented that provides in
addition to formal presentation also short presentations, followed by
discussions, and focused discussion groups. Authors who plan to
contribute with a paper are requested to submit a position paper in PDF
format to reach the ESCOT co-organizers by January 8, 2009. Submitted
papers can be regular submissions (up to 6 pages) as well as position
papers (up to 3 pages). Papers will be refereed by at least three
reviewers. Moreover, we *especially* encourage authors to present their
experience and/or novel ideas on how to evaluate composition techniques.
Such papers should offer different or novel perspectives on the workshop
topics and they must have a high potential for generating issues that
will stimulate the discussions.
The submission system is available via the workshop's webpage:
http://www.comp.lancs.ac.uk/~greenwop/escot10/
The papers should be formatted according to the ACM SIG Proceedings
format and submitted via the workshop's submission system.

The International Workshop of Software Architecture Principles for and with Cloud Computing (ArchiteCloud 2010)
http://www.nicta.com.au/people/tosicv/architecloud2010
In conjunction with the 10th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Cluster, Cloud and Grid Computing - CCGrid 2010 (http://www.manjrasoft.com/ccgrid2010/mainpage.html)
May 17-20, 2010, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Paper submission deadline: December 20th 2009
Workshop Theme: Empower Cloud Applications with Architectural Principles
Cloud computing is an emerging computing paradigm that aims to streamline the on-demand provisioning of software, hardware, and data as services. Deploying applications on a Cloud can help to achieve scalability and maintain a flexible infrastructure at user sites. A variety of challenges arise when deploying and operating applications and services on a Cloud in dynamic and evolving environments. Some examples of such challenges are: how to manage and guarantee service level agreements (SLAs) of services by leveraging Cloud computing capacity; how to integrate collaborative services deployed on-premise and on different Clouds; how to handle exceptions of long-running transactions across loosely coupled services on Clouds; how to deploy business processes and monitor their runtime status, among others. These challenges can be partially faced by applying architectural principles to Cloud application design. Building solutions that either reuse established software architecture principles for Cloud applications or facilitate new architectural principles specific for Cloud computing will provide deep insights not only about how to design Cloud applications, but also how to evaluate the practical usage of Cloud computing technologies. For example, past work on architectures for ultra-large scale systems can be useful for Cloud applications.
On the other hand, there is also a significant impact of Cloud computing on software architecture. As the popularity and diversity of Cloud applications grows, some principles for architecting software (and, more generally, IT) systems require re-examination and new architectural principles have to be identified. The aim of this workshop is to encourage academic researchers and industry practitioners to present and discuss all software architecture-related research and experiences in the broad spectrum of Cloud computing.
The topics of the workshop include but are not limited to:
. Relevance of particular architecture principles and approaches for Cloud computing
. Impact of Cloud computing on architecture of software and, more generally, IT systems
. Patterns, best practices and experience report in development for Cloud-based applications
. Architecture support for enhancing Cloud computing interoperability, including standards and protocols proposal or extension for integrating applications on-premise and different Cloud platforms
. Cloud architectures of emerging applications, such as mashup for enterprise services, data intensive computing and scientific workflows
. Architecture support for SLA management and negotiation protocols for dynamic Cloud service binding
. Architecture accountability of Cloud services, including mechanisms, algorithms and methods for monitoring, analysing and reporting service status and usage profile

Subject: [ecoop-info] BYTECODE 2010 - Second Call for Papers
Message-ID: <4E1B035B-FC72-4EAB-953B-BCD564BA7C6D@irisa.fr>
======================================================================
Call for Papers
Bytecode 2010
5th workshop on Bytecode Semantics,
Verification, Analysis and Transformation
(Satellite Event of the European Joint
Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software, ETAPS 2010)
March 27, 2010
Paphos, Cyprus
http://bytecode2010.inria.fr/
======================================================================
Bytecode, such as produced by e.g. Java and .NET compilers, has become
an important topic of interest, both for industry and academia. The
industrial interest stems from the fact that bytecode is typically
used for Internet and mobile devices (smart-cards, phones, etc.)
applications, where security is a major issue. Moreover, bytecode is
device-independent and allows dynamic loading of classes, which
provides an extra challenge for the application of formal methods. In
addition, the unstructuredness of the code and the pervasive presence
of the operand stack also provide extra challenges for the analysis of
bytecode. This workshop will focus on theoretical and practical
aspects of semantics, verification, analysis, certification and
transformation of bytecode. Both new theoretical results and tool
demonstrations are welcome.

Regular research papers should be at most 15 pages (including
bibliography and excluding well-marked appendices not intended for
publication). They must contain original contributions, be written in
English and be unpublished and not submitted simultaneously for
publication elsewhere.
Tool demo papers must describe a completed, robust and well-documented
tool -- highlighting the overall functionality of the tool, the
interfaces of the tool, interesting examples and applications of the
tool, an assessment of the tool's strengths and weaknesses, and a
summary of documentation/support available with the tool. The body of
the paper must be no longer than 6 pages in length (including
bibliography), and it should give an overview of the tool, the
methodology associated with its use, a summary of how the tool has
been applied and to what effect, and it should indicate what
supporting artifacts (user manual, example repository, downloads, etc)
are available. This material will be included in the proceedings if
the paper is accepted. In addition, the paper should include an
appendix (limited to six pages) that gives an outline of the proposed

CALL FOR PAPERS
Ninth International Conference on
Generative Programming and Component Engineering
(GPCE 2010)
October 10-13, 2010
Eindhoven, The Netherlands
(co-located with SLE 2010)

* Submission of papers: May 24, 2010
* Author notification: Jul 5, 2010
SCOPE
Generative and component approaches are revolutionizing software
development similar to how automation and components revolutionized
manufacturing. Generative Programming (concerning programs that
synthesize other programs), Component Engineering (concerning
modularity in application design), and Domain-Specific Languages
(DSLs) (concerning compact domain-specific notations for expressing
programs) are key technologies for automating program development.
The International Conference on Generative Programming and Component
Engineering is a venue for researchers and practitioners interested in
techniques that, through deploying components and program generation,
increase programmer productivity, improve software quality, and
shorten the time-to-market of software products. In addition to
exploring cutting-edge techniques of generative and component-based
software, our goal is to foster further cross-fertilization between
the software engineering and the programming languages research
communities.
SUBMISSIONS
Research papers:
10 pages in SIGPLAN proceedings style (sigplanconf.cls) reporting
original research results that contribute to scientific knowledge in
the areas listed below (the PC chair can advise on appropriateness).
Tool demonstrations:
Tool demonstrations should present tools that implement novel
generative and component-based software engineering techniques, and
are available for use. Any of the GPCE'10 topics of interest are
appropriate areas for research demonstrations. Purely commercial tool
demonstrations will not be accepted. Submissions should contain a tool
description of 4 pages in SIGPLAN proceedings style (sigplanconf.cls)
and a demonstration outline of up to 2 pages text plus 2 pages screen
shots. The four page description will, if the demonstration is accepted,
be published in the proceedings. The 2+2 page demonstration outline
will only be used by the PC for evaluating the submission.

Topics
======
New real-time systems have increasingly complex architectures because of
the intricacy of the multiple interdependent features they have to manage.
They must meet new requirements of reusability, interoperability,
flexibility and portability. These new dimensions favor the use of an
architecture description language that offers a global vision of the
system, and which is particularly suitable for handling real-time
characteristics.
Due to the even more increased complexity of distributed, real-time and
embedded systems (DRE), the need for a model-driven approach is more
obvious in this domain than in monolithic RT systems. The purpose of this
workshop is to provide an opportunity to gather researchers and industrial
practitioners to survey existing efforts related to behavior modeling and
model-based analysis of DRE systems.
This workshop seeks contributions from researchers and practitioners
interested in all aspects of the representation, analysis, and
implementation of DRE system behavior and/or architecture models. To this
end, we solicit papers (no more than 6 pages long) related to, but not
limited to, the following principal topics:
- Model-based methodologies
- Multi-domain specific modeling languages
- Model-based engineering Process with AADL
- Architectural analysis domain methods
- Real-time Software/System development issues
- Integration of different formalisms (e.g., Simulink/StateFlow,
StateMate and Scade-drive)
- Integration of multiple domains of architectural analysis
- Model transformation and generative approaches
- Model Checking of architecture specifications
- ADLs behavioral models simulation, Scheduling analysis and Worst-case
execution time prediction
- Assuring implementation correctness to architectural specification and
analysis
- Tool chains facilitating architecture centric development
Workshop Format
===============
This full-day workshop will consist of an introduction of the topic by the
workshop organizers, presentations of accepted papers, and in depth
discussion of previously identified subjects emerging from the
submissions. A summary of the discussions will be made available.

*** 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

Furthermore, we invite poster presentations describing ongoing work with
promising preliminary results.
Topics of interest for regular submissions include but are not limited to
- system- and transaction-level modeling and verification, abstraction
and refinement between different modeling levels, formal, semi-formal,
and specification-driven verification,
- design and verification methods for composition of concurrent systems:
multi-core platform architectures, systems-on-chip, networks-on-chip,
- non-traditional and domain-specific design languages for hardware and
software, novel models of computation, and new design paradigms that
unify hardware and software design,
- system-level estimation of performance and power in heterogeneous
hardware/software architectures,
- applications and demonstrators of formal design methodologies and case
studies of innovative system-level design flows, and
- modeling and reuse of intellectual property at system-level.

The NASA Formal Methods Symposium is a forum for theoreticians and
practitioners from academia and industry, with the goals of
identifying challenges and providing solutions to achieving assurance
in safety-critical systems. Within NASA, for example, such systems
include autonomous robots, separation assurance algorithms for
aircraft, and autonomous rendezvous and docking for
spacecraft. Moreover, emerging paradigms such as code generation and
safety cases are bringing with them new challenges and
opportunities. The focus of the symposium will be on formal
techniques, their theory, current capabilities, and limitations, as
well as their application to aerospace, robotics, and other
safety-critical systems. The symposium aims to introduce researchers,
graduate students, and partners in industry to those topics that are
of interest, to survey current research, and to identify unsolved
problems and directions for future research.
NFM 2010 is the second edition of the NASA Formal Methods Symposium,
which started in 2009 and was organized by NASA Ames Research Center
in Moffet Field, California. The symposium originated from the earlier
Langley Formal Methods Workshop series and aims to foster
collaboration between NASA researchers and engineers, as well as the
wider aerospace, safety-critical, and formal methods communities.

CALL FOR PAPERS
10th Workshop on Language Descriptions, Tools, and Applications
(LDTA 2010)
[ http://ldta.info ]
Paphos, Cyprus
During ETAPS (March 27 & 28, 2010)
====================================================================
===Call For Papers 2010===
This is the Call For Papers for the Tenth Workshop on
Language Descriptions, Tools, and Applications (LDTA 2010):
- [ http://ldta.info ]
LDTA is a two-day satellite event of ETAPS which will take place
during ETAPS (March 20 & 28, 2010) in Paphos, Cyprus.
- [ http://www.etaps10.cs.ucy.ac.cy ]
==Scope==
LDTA is an application and tool oriented forum on meta programming in
a broad sense. A meta program is a program that takes other programs
as input or output. The focus of LDTA is on generated or otherwise
efficiently implemented meta programs, possibly using high level
descriptions of programming languages. Tools and techniques presented
at LDTA are usually applicable in the context of "Language
Workbenches" or "Meta Programming Systems" or simply as parts of
advanced programming environments or IDEs. The applications areas
include, but are not limited to:
* Program analysis, transformation, generation, and verification
* Implementation of Domain Specific Languages (both graphical and textual)
* Reverse engineering and reengineering
* Refactoring and other source-to-source transformations
* Application modelling (MDE, MDA, Software Factories,
Software product lines)
* Grammar engineering / Grammarware
* Language definition and language prototyping
* Debugging, profiling, and testing
LDTA is a well-established workshop next to other conferences and
workshops on (programming) language engineering topics such as SLE and
GPCE. LDTA is traditionally a forum where computer science theories are
put to the test of real-world software engineering issues, for example
by applying:
* context-free grammars to parser generation for real programming languages
* attribute grammars to static analyzer and compiler generation
* term rewriting to source-to-source transformation
* action semantics to programming language implementation
* model checking to software verification
Note that LDTA solicits submissions from any technological or
theoretical domain, as long as the paper is within the application
scope.
==Submission Procedure and Publication==
Submissions in the following categories are admissible:
* research papers
* tool papers
* experience papers
The final version of the accepted papers will, pending approval, be
published in the ACM Digital Library and will also be made available
during the workshop.
Each submission must:
* clearly and unambiguously state in which of the three categories it falls;
* be original, i.e. not published or submitted elsewhere;
* contain a clear motivation;
* contain a thorough analysis of the claimed contributions (for example by
comparing to related work);
* be written in less than 15 pages (research papers and experience reports),
or less than 10 pages (tool papers); and
* use the standard LaTeX article style
(\documentclass[10pt]{article}, \usepackage{authblk} for affiliations)
Please submit your abstract and paper using EasyChair:
- [ http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ldta2010 ].
The authors of each submission are required to give a presentation at
LDTA 2010. The authors of the tool papers are required to include an
interactive demonstration in their presentations.
The authors of the best papers will be invited to write a journal
version of their paper which will be separately reviewed and, assuming
acceptance, be published in journal form. As in past years, this will
be done in a special issue devoted to LDTA 2010 of the journal Science
of Computer Programming (Elsevier Science).

Call for Papers
Engineering Middleware for Service-Oriented Computing
Special Issue of the International Journal of Systems and Service-Oriented
Engineering (IJSSOE)

Helen Hye-young Paik, University of New South Wales, Australia
Vladimir Tosic, NICTA, Australia
Objectives of the Special Issue
Service Oriented Computing (SOC) plays a key role in today's middleware
technology. Although the immediate need of middleware support for SOC is
evident, current approaches and solutions still fall short of providing
sufficient support for various issues, among others service discovery,
re-use, re-purpose, multi-channel delivery, composition and aggregation,
quality of service guarantees, dependability and security, management and
monitoring.
Moreover, dramatic increases in the availability of mobile devices and
embedded/networked sensors, and the rapid emergence of cloud computing and
server virtualization (such as Platform as a Service, Infrastructure as a
Service and Software as a Service) raise new challenges for the field.
Consequently, the goal of this special issue is to report on significant
new developments within the field of middleware for Service Oriented
Computing. We seek original research papers that report mature results and
advances in this area. We also invite analytical review or survey articles
that present in-depth views on the state-of-the-art middleware for SOC
concepts, systems, trends and challenges.
Topics
Topics to be discussed in this special issue include (but are not limited
to) the following:
* Architectures and platforms for middleware for SOC
* Aspect-orientation in Web services middleware
* Autonomic computing solutions for Web services
* Best practices and patterns for Web services middleware
* Middleware for Cloud Computing, Grid/Utility Computing
* Middleware for discovery and/or selection of Web services
* Middleware for Web Service choreography/orchestration
* Middleware for Semantic Web-services
* Middleware for Web services in mobile, embedded, and ubiquitous/pervasive
environments
* Monitoring and management middleware for Web services
* Negotiation middleware for Web services
* Policy-based middleware for Web services
* Quality of service middleware for Web services
* SLA and technical policy support through middleware.
* Reputation and/or trust middleware for Web services
* Reliability, dependability, and fault-tolerance middleware for Web services
* Security and/or privacy middleware for Web services
* Service-oriented middleware
Important Dates
Full manuscript due: February 8, 2010
Notification of the review results: March 15, 2010
Final manuscript due: March 28, 2010

Call for Papers
9th International Workshop on Graph Transformation
and Visual Modeling Techniques (GT-VMT 2010)
http://www.cs.le.ac.uk/events/gtvmt10/
Satellite Event of ETAPS 2010, Cyprus -- March 20-21, 2010
===================================================
* Scope *
GT-VMT 2010 is the ninth workshop of a series that serves as a forum
for all researchers and practitioners interested in the use of
graph-based notation, techniques, and tools for the specification,
modeling, validation, manipulation and verification of complex
systems. The aim of the workshop is to promote engineering
approaches that provide effective sound tool support for visual
modeling languages, enhancing formal reasoning at the semantic level
(e.g., for model analysis, transformation, and consistency
management) in different domains, such as UML, Petri nets, Graph
Transformation or Business Process/Workflow Models.
This year's workshop will have a special focus on visualization,
simulation, and verification of concurrent and distributed systems.
Concurrency and distribution are among the most vital concerns to
nowadays computing due to the importance of interconnected systems
and the increased diffusion of multi-core
architectures. Nevertheless, concurrent and distributed systems are
hard to specify, design, verify and implement. Visual and
graph-based techniques may be exploited to cope with the complexity
in engineering of and reasoning about concurrent and distributed
systems. In fact, graph-based approaches have recently been
successfully applied to represent several computational aspects of
different classes of distributed systems ranging from mobile systems
a-la pi-calculus, to coordination in service-oriented systems, to
communication networks. The aim of the workshop is to promote
graph- and visual-based approaches for modelling, designing,
implementing and reasoning about concurrent and distributed
systems. The general areas of interest range from non-functional
aspects (e.g., security, quantitive aspects), to (semi)formal
modelling frameworks, to visual techniques for distributed and
concurrent systems.
Besides the traditional topics of the GT-VMT series like
- visual language definition (incl. metamodelling, grammars, graphical
parsing, etc.)
- syntax and semantics of visual languages (incl. OCL, graph patterns,
simulation, animation, compilation, verification & validation, static
analysis techniques, etc.)
- model transformations
- graph transformations and visual modeling techniques in engineering,
biology, and medicine
- case studies and novel application areas
- tool support and efficient algorithms
more focused topics of interest include but are not limited to
- visual and graph-based languages for distributed systems
- graph models of distributed computations
- verification and validation of distributed systems with visual
techniques
- graphical static & dynamic analysis of distributed systems
- graphs for architectural design languages for distributed systems
- visual techniques for modeling process choreographies and distributed
workflows
- visual/graph-based approaches to distributed coordination mechanisms
- graph-based semantics models of novel distributed architectures (e.g.,
service oriented, GRID, P2P computing, and context aware/adaptive distributed
applications)
- model transformations of graphical into textual formalisms for
distributed systems
- model transformations and their application in model-driven development
of distributed and concurrent systems
- relating models/visual tools for concurrency/distribution

*** Call for Papers - QoSA 2010 ***
Sixth International Conference on the Quality of Software Architectures (QoSA 2010)
taking place at Prague, Czech Republic, 23-25 June 2010.
The conference is a part of CompArch 2010, see http://www.comparch-events.org/index/ for more info.
Important Dates
===============
* Submission of papers: February 19, 2010
* Notification of acceptance: March 19, 2010
* Camera-ready paper due: April 10, 2010
Goals
=====
The goal of QoSA (Quality of Software Architectures) is to address aspects of software architecture
focusing broadly on quality characteristics and how these relate to the design of software
architectures. Specific issues of interest are defining quality measures, evaluating and managing
architecture quality, linking architecture to requirements and implementation, and preserving
architecture quality throughout the lifetime of the system.
Scope
=====
In this, the sixth incarnation of QoSA, we expect researchers will be able to demonstrate how
specific sub-elements within an architecture lead to measurable quality in the implemented system.
At the same time, we also expect there will be clear challenges that remain to be resolved. For QoSA
2010 the theme this year is "Research into Practice - Reality and Gaps". Technical reports both on
scientific novel results and industrial case studies are welcome.
Conference Topics
=================
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Architecture Design and Implementation:
* design decisions and their influence on the quality of software architecture
* architectural patterns and their quality impacts
* architectural standards and reference architectures
* model-driven architecture (MDA) and quality aspects
* relationship between quality attributes and architectural design properties
Architecture Evaluation:
* lessons learned and empirical validation of theories and frameworks on architecture quality
* empirical validation of testing, prototyping, simulation for assessing architecture quality
* models and specification techniques to evaluate quality
* attributes of software architectures
* languages for architectural modeling that allow the evaluation of quality characteristics
* processes for evaluating architecture quality
* evaluating the effects of architectural adaptations at run-time
* applications on industrial case studies and use cases
Architecture Management:
* coordination of business architecture, business processes, and software architecture
* assessment and enforcement of architectural conformance, especially in the face of run-time
adaptation
* traceability of software architecture to requirements and implementation
* integration of heterogeneous software architectures
* architecture evolution and architecture governance
* architectural models at run-time
Application Domains:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Workshop theme and goals
------------------------
This workshop focuses on current and emerging methods, languages,
notations, technologies and tools to extract, represent, share, use and
re-use architectural knowledge. Architectural Knowledge (AK) is the
integrated representation of the software architecture of a
software-intensive system (or a family of systems), the architectural
design decisions, and the external context/environment. It is
increasingly recognized as the means for architecture governance; it
facilitates and supports collaboration and the transfer of expertise.
In this fifth SHARK edition we will ask the community to discuss and
contribute on how to reorganize and codify the Body of Knowledge of the
WICSA community (WICSA BOK). This is partially available through
www.softwarearchitectureportal.org and www.wicsa.net, but it needs to be
reorganized and unified. We see two broad objectives: (1) to codify the
BOK in the way the potential users (i.e. the members of the architecture
community) would like to see it; and (2) exploit Web 2.0 and social
networking techniques to support AK sharing, and better
reachability/usability (again) according to the actual needs of the
community itself. SHARK contributions will have the opportunity to
propose their ideas and R&D results to shape the next generation
www.softwarearchitectureportal.org BOK.
As tradition, SHARK aims to bring together researchers and practitioners
that are interested in sharing and reusing architectural knowledge. The
workshop will kick-start with short position statements from the paper
authors. The main focus will be on fosters creative discussion between
the participants in specific themes. Attendance will be limited to a
maximum of 30 participants.
Topics of the workshop include but are not limited to:
* Types of architectural knowledge in industrial settings
* Notations and languages to model or visualize architectural knowledge
* Ontologies, domain models and meta-models for architectural knowledge
* Communicating, sharing and using architectural knowledge:
approaches and case studies
* Tools to extract, visualize, share or use architectural knowledge
* Evolution of architectural knowledge
* Sharing architectural knowledge in the context of
service-oriented architectures (SOA) or Model-Driven Engineering (MDE)
* Architectural knowledge in Global Software Engineering
* Communicating architectural knowledge in open and closed communities
* Architectural knowledge for requirements engineering
* Traceability between requirements, architectural design decisions
and architectural solutions (e.g. patterns, tactics, reference
architectures)
* Architectural knowledge in the process of architecting
* Emerging technologies supporting knowledge sharing

5th International Conference on Graph Transformation (ICGT 2010)
University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands
29 September - 1 October 2010
----------------------------------------------
Call for Papers
The 5th International Conference on Graph Transformation (ICGT 2010) will be
held at the University of Twente in Enschede (The Netherlands) in the last week
of September 2010. It continues the line of conferences previously held in
Barcelona (Spain) in 2002, Rome (Italy) in 2004, Natal (Brazil) in 2006 and
Leicester (UK) in 2008, as well as a series of six International Workshops on
Graph Transformation with Applications in Computer Science between 1978 and
1998. The conference takes place under the auspices of EATCS, EASST, and IFIP
WG 1.3. Awards will be given by EATCS and EASST for the best theoretical and
application-oriented papers. Proceedings are planned with Springer's Lecture
Notes in Computer Science series.
ICGT 2010 will be colocated with the SPIN 2010 workshop on Software Model
Checking, and will also host several satellite events.
Invited Speakers
================
We are pleased to announce the following invited speakers:
- Javier Esparza, University of Munich (joint keynote speaker with SPIN 2010)
- Krzysztof Czarnecki, University of Waterloo
- Christoph Brandt, University of Luxembourg
Scope
=====
Graphs are among the simplest and most universal models for a variety of
systems, not just in computer science, but throughout engineering and the life
sciences. When systems evolve we are interested in the way they change, to
predict, support, or react to their evolution. Graph transformation combines
the idea of graphs as a universal modelling paradigm with a rule-based approach
to specify evolution. The area is concerned with both the theory of graph
transformation and their application to a variety of domains.
The conference aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners
interested in the foundations and application of graph transformation to a
variety of areas. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to
* Foundations and theory of
o General models of graph transformation
o High-level and adhesive replacement systems
o Node-, edge-, and hyperedge replacement grammars
o Parallel, concurrent, and distributed graph transformation
o Term graph rewriting
o Hierarchical graphs and decompositions of graphs
o Graph theoretical properties of graph languages
o Geometrical and topological aspects of graph transformation
o Automata on graphs and parsing of graph languages
o Analysis and verification of graph transformation systems
o Structuring and modularization concepts for transformation systems
o Graph transformation and Petri nets
* Languages, tool support and applications in
o Software architecture
o Workflows and business processes
o Software quality, testing and evolution
o Access control and security models
o Aspect-oriented development
o Model-driven development, especially model transformations
o Domain-specific languages
o Implementation of programming languages
o Bioinformatics and system biology
o Natural computing
o Image generation and pattern recognition techniques
o Massively parallel computing
o Self-adaptive systems and ubiquitous computing
o Service-oriented applications and semantic web
Paper submission is at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icgt2010.
Submitted papers may not exceed fifteen (15) pages using Springer's LNCS
format, and should contain original research. Simultaneous submission to other
conferences with proceedings or submission of material that has already been
published elsewhere is not allowed.
Selected papers will be invited for submission to special issues of Fundamenta
Informaticae (for theoretically oriented papers) and Software and Systems
Modeling (for application-oriented papers).
Important Dates:
================
Abstract submission: 9 April 2010
Full paper submission: 16 April 2010
Notification of acceptance: 7 June 2010

The University of Twente is located in a beautiful green area between the
cities of Hengelo and Enschede, in the eastern part of The Netherlands. It has
good connections to the airports of Schiphol (Amsterdam, The Netherlands) and
M?nster (Germany). The main town, Enschede, lies directly on the Dutch/German
border, and it is a characteristic, modern and lively university town. Elegant
historic buildings in the town and surrounding area are evocative of Enschede's
rich textile past. Some of the town's most notable monuments are the beautiful
town hall, several beautiful churches and a unique synagogue.
The University of Twente is an entrepreneurial research university. It was
founded in 1961 and offers education and research in areas ranging from public
policy studies and applied physics to biomedical technology. The UT is the
Netherlands' only campus university. It counts in the order of 10,000 students.
