<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Innovations in modularity have had a
profound effect on Programming Languages and Software Engineering over several
decades. They have shaped the way we think about software, as well as the
software itself.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>The software landscape is changing
rapidly, and is already very different from when much of the seminal research
on modularity was done. Writing of single, standalone programs or systems is
largely a thing of the past. Instead, we see development of services, advanced
web applications, product lines and systems of systems. Many of these are
long-running, 24/7 systems that can never be brought down, and that might be
self-repairing. Some run on new kinds of platforms, like the cloud. Integration
of existing software is often more important than writing new software. We are
moving towards ultra-large systems, in which central control is not possible.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>The software-development landscape is
changing rapidly too. More and more projects are distributed across the world.
There is increasing concern about governance, from both the legislative and
business points of view.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>For this track, we invite high-quality
papers proposing visions of modularity for this new landscape, addressing
current and future challenges. We do not expect visions to be realized and
fully validated yet, but we do expect a paper to provide evidence of the
viability of the vision it presents, as well as its importance. This can be by
compelling argument or analysis, for example.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>When thinking about modularity for the
future, it is important to understand exactly what modularity is, what benefits
it provides to software engineering, and what the relationships are between
various properties and such benefits. For example, how does strength of
encapsulation interact with maintainability and adaptability? For this reason,
we also invite high-quality papers on the foundations of modularity. We expect
such papers to include discussion of the implications for visions of
modularity.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>The following is a list of some topic
areas of interest where innovations in modularity are called for. Papers are
welcome in these areas or others; the list is intended to stimulate thought but
in no way to be restrictive:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>* Modern platforms, such as the cloud
and massively-parallel systems<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>* Software services<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>* Product lines<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>* Web applications<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>* Long-running, highly-available systems<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>* Systems involving sensitive data, such
as medical records<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>* Ultra-large systems<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>* Integration of disparate systems<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>* Modularity across the entire software
lifecycle, including modularity for early-lifecycle artifacts and modules that
span lifecycle phases<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>* Beyond artifacts, e.g., modularity
based on tasks, activities and processes<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>* Various programming paradigms, such as
rule-based and map-reduce systems<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>* Modern development practices, such as
distributed development and agile development<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>* Modularity in support of governance<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>* Foundations upon which innovations in
modularity can be built<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>----------<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>To allow for feedback and revision
during the submission process, this track will have a rolling submission period
before the final submission deadline. A paper submitted during the rolling
submission period will be reviewed within 6 weeks of submission by the Program
Committee. The result of the review might be acceptance, rejection, or a
request for revisions. When revisions are requested, the authors may make them
and resubmit. As long as resubmission is within the rolling submission period,
there will opportunity for further revision, if needed. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Once the rolling submission period has
passed, authors may still submit original or revised papers up to the final
submission deadline. These will be reviewed to the same standards; there will
be no penalty for not having utilized rolling submission, but there will be no
opportunity for revision before the acceptance decision is made.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Submissions must be no more than 12
pages in length (including bibliography and any appendices), and must be in
standard ACM SIG Proceedings format (). All papers must be submitted in PDF
format, through CyberChair.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>The submission deadline, length
limitations and formatting instructions are firm: any submissions that deviate
from these will be rejected by the track chair. Submitted papers must adhere to
SIGPLAN's republication policy. Authors should strive to make the technical
content of their papers understandable to a broad audience. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

special Modularity Visions section of the main conference proceedings. They
will therefore appear in the ACM Digital Library. Authors of accepted papers
will be expected to revise their papers based on reviewers’ comments, and to
provide camera-ready versions of the papers by the camera-ready deadline. They
will also be required to sign the standard ACM copyright form.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
