Motivation
----------
Aspect-Oriented Software Development (AOSD) is an increasingly important
paradigm in software development whereby novel notions of modularity and
composition mechanisms are discussed with the goal of taming concerns that
crosscut traditional abstraction boundaries.

The importance of AOSD in the software engineering community has become
evident with the realization of several workshops, tutorials and nine
editions of the AOSD international conference. Over the last years, the
software industry has also given more attention to AOSD techniques. Many
available software products, such the JBoss application server and the
Spring integration framework, have adopted the use of aspect-oriented
techniques to address crosscutting concerns (persistence, security,
dynamic adaptation) encountered in the development of server-side
applications.

The Fourth Latin-American Workshop on Aspect-Oriented Software Development
(LA-WASP.10) aims at bringing together the Latin-American and
international research communities interested in topics related to AOSD to
share and discuss ideas, strengthen research group collaborations and
identify new research opportunities.

The LA-WASP.10 workshop follows from the three successful editions of the
Brazilian Workshop on AOSD (WASP.04, WASP.05 and WASP.06) and the first
three editions of the Latin American Workshop on AOSD (LA-WASP.07,
LA-WASP.08 and LA-WASP.09).


Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Requirements Engineering (Early Aspects)
- Software Architectures, Product Lines and Frameworks
- Design of Aspect-Oriented Languages
- UML and Model-Driven Architecture
- General-Purpose and Domain Specific Aspect Languages
- Software Processes
- Metrics and Assessment
- Reuse, Maintenance and Adaptability
- Software Verification, Validation and Testing
- Software Re-engineering and Refactoring
- Contracts, Components and Aspects
- Interference and Composition of Aspects
- Dynamic Configuration
- Computational Reflection and Metaprogramming
- Aspect-Oriented Middleware
- Formal Methods
- Development Methods
- Development Environments and Tools
- Industrial Applications of AOSD
- Practical studies involving AOSD
- Comparative Studies Between AOSD and other Development Paradigms
- AOSD in Education


Wokshop Format
--------------
LA-WASP.10 is a two-day workshop and will be strongly focused on
discussion. The workshop program will include technical paper
presentations, poster exhibitions, structured group discussions, and a
panel.


Invited Speakers
----------------
Prof. Éric Tanter, University of Chile (Chile)
Prof. Sérgio Soares, Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE)


Submission Guidelines
---------------------

The workshop will accept both technical papers (up to 6 A4 pages) and
posters (up to 2 A4 pages). Submissions in English are strongly
encouraged, although papers/posters can also be written in Portuguese or
Spanish. Submitted papers must be unpublished and should not be under
review elsewhere. The acceptance of a paper implies that at least one of
its authors will register for the workshop to present it. All submissions
must be in PDF format, and must follow the IEEE conference proceedings
format
(http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/pubservices/confpub/AuthorTools/conferenceTemplates.html).

All papers must be submitted using the JEMS conference system
(https://submissoes.sbc.org.br/).

The workshop proceedings will be published in the CBSoft'10 CD-ROM.
