Keynote Speaker :
=============
A Keynote Speaker will be invited to address the workshop’s audience on
recent trends on the theory, practice and applications of software
engineering techniques for aspect based applications.

=============================================
Important Dates
Regular Paper Submission: April 06, 2010
Authors Notification: May 04, 2010
Final Paper Submission and Registration: May 19, 2010
=============================================

===============
Paper Submission
===============
The workshop welcomes three types of submissions:

1. Full papers describing novel ideas on recent trends in aspects based
applications at practical or theoretical levels. The maximum length of a
full paper is 10 pages.
2. Position papers describing work in progress or an author’s position
regarding the recent practice of software engineering for aspects based
applications and/or its future trends. The maximum length of a position
paper is 4 pages.
3. Demo papers describing practical context-aware application/prototype.
The maximum length of a demo paper is 4 pages. It is expected that the
authors of the paper will showcase their application in public.

All papers will undergo a double-blind review and be selected on the
basis of relevance, clarity and technical quality. At least one author
should attend the workshop to present the paper.
Prospective authors are invited to submit papers in any of the topics
listed above.
Instructions for preparing the manuscript (in Word and Latex formats)
are available at the conference Paper Templates web page. Please also
check the web page with the Submission Guidelines.
Papers should be submitted electronically via the web-based submission
system at: http://www.insticc.org/Primoris

Publications
========
All accepted papers will be published by INSTICC Press in the workshop
proceedings book, under an ISBN reference, and on CD-ROM support. The
workshops proceedings will be distributed to the participants in printed
form at the registration desk.
Publication of a selection of the workshop's best papers in a special
issue of an international journal is under investigation.

Registration Information
===============
At least one author of an accepted paper must register for the workshop.
If the registration fees are not received by May 19, 2010, the paper
will not be published in the workshop proceedings book.

Background and Goals
===============
The "Recent Trends in Aspect based Information Systems" (RTABIS’10) is a
new Workshop joint to ICSOFT 2010. Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP)
complements Object Oriented (OO) programming by allowing the developer
to dynamically modify the static OO model to create a system that can
grow to meet new requirements. Just as objects in the real world can
change their states during their lifecycles, an application can adopt
new characteristics as it develops. AOP complements object-oriented
programming by facilitating another type of modularity that pulls
together the widespread implementation of a crosscutting concern into a
single unit. These units are termed aspects, hence the name
aspect-oriented programming. By compartmentalizing aspect code,
crosscutting concerns become easy to deal with. Aspects of a system can
be changed, inserted or removed at compile time, and even reused. So,
Aspect Oriented Software Development gathers a set of techniques for
modular definition and the implementation of transverse functions for
enterprises applications. Typical crosscutting concerns include logging,
context-sensitive error handling, performance optimization, and design
patterns.

AOP is becoming an industrial reality with projects and commercial
offers. Moreover, related topics are numerous.

This first workshop on Recent Trends in Aspect based Information Systems
provides a forum for researchers and practitioners to present results,
applications, and experiences in software based on Aspects. The
organizing committee welcomes high quality contributions that describe
original and unpublished works in the field of aspect-based application
engineering in terms of design, development, testing, and deployment.
