Early aspects aim to identify and<br>modularize these concerns during the requirements analysis, domain<br>analysis and architecture design, in order to avoid non modular and<br>potentially tangled and scattered implementations. Work on early<br>aspects focuses on systematically identifying, modularizing, and<br>analyzing such concerns and their impact at these early phases of<br>the software development.<br><br>The general aim of this workshop is to facilitate cross-fertilization<br>of ideas in requirements engineering, domain engineering, software<br>architecture design and aspect-oriented software development in order<br>to identify new challenges, discuss on-going work and potential solutions,<br>analysing different alternatives and identifying strengths and weaknesses<br>of each alternative. This should contribute to the maturation of Early<br>Aspects as a discipline. The present edition of the workshop will provide<br>a forum for an open set of early-aspects related topics, without<br>restricting to a specific theme or domain.<br><br>This year we would like to invite people from other related communities,<br>such as feature-oriented requirements engineering or architecture-design,<br>and model-driven development, to contribute to the Early Aspects workshop.<br>The goal, aligned with this year AOSD conference topic, is to create a venue<br>where people researching about modular software at the early stages of the<br>software development lifecycle can expose and discuss novel and potential ideas.<br>This should help to identify synergies between closely-related communities<br>and potentially adopt solutions to common problems.<br><br><br>TOPICS OF INTEREST<br>----------------------<br><br>The topics of the workshops include (but are not limited to) the following:<br><br>- Aspect-oriented requirements engineering<br> + Identification and modelling of aspects in requirements<br> + Composition of early aspects<br> + Use of requirements level aspects for conflict identification<br>and resolution<br> + Aspect quantification at the requirements engineering level<br> + Aspect reusability at the requirements level<br><br>- Aspect-oriented domain engineering<br> + Deriving aspects from domain knowledge<br> + Composition of domain aspects<br> + Beyond well-known crosscutting concerns<br> + Linking early aspects with domain-specific applications<br>(Distributed systems,<br>software product lines, ambient intelligence, P2P systems)<br><br>- Mapping between aspect-oriented requirements, domain analysis and<br>architecture<br> + Formal or informal mappings<br> + Language features required to support aspect mapping<br> + Automation of the aspect mapping between requirements and architecture<br> + Traceability<br><br>- Aspect-oriented architecture design<br> + Use of aspects to reason about architectures<br> + Evaluation of alternative architectures with aspects<br> + Aspect-Modeling at the architectural level<br> + Aspect conflicts at the architectural level<br> + Aspect quantification at the architectural level<br> + Aspect reusability at the architectural level<br><br>- Tool support and automation for aspect-orientation<br> + Formalisms and notations for specifying aspects<br> + Dynamic early aspects<br> + Accommodation of run-time change in the requirement models;<br> + Run-time variability resolution in requirements and architecture;<br><br>- Evaluation of Early Aspects<br> + Aspect-oriented evaluation methods<br> + Aspect-oriented metrics for early aspects<br> + Change impact analysis for early aspects<br><br>- Early Aspects in Industry<br> + Industry problems and practices<br> + Successful stories of adoption of early aspects in industry<br> + Industrial Empirical Studies<br><br>- Composition-related issues for early aspects<br> + Semantics<br> + Fragility<br><br><br><br>IMPORTANT DATES<br>----------------------<br><br>Paper Submission: December 12th 2010<br>Notification: January 09th 2011<br>Camera ready version: January 17th 2011<br>Workshop: March 21st 2011<br><br><br>WORKSHOP FORMAT<br>----------------------<br><br>The workshop will be highly interactive with a few presentations in the morning<br>followed by group work for the rest of the day. The participants will<br>work in small<br>groups, formed based on their specific interests. The group work will<br>be focused on<br>making a tangible progress by identifying possible solutions of the<br>discussion problems;<br>by furthering the problem understanding; by providing practical<br>examples and motivation<br>for the discussion topics, etc. The last session of the workshop will<br>be dedicated to<br>integrating the results of the group discussions into the overall<br>workshop results.<br><br><br>PAPER SUBMISSION AND GUIDELINES<br>------------------------------------<br><br>Prospective participants are invited to submit a 3-5 page position paper in<br>standard ACM SIG Proceedings format<br>(<a href="http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates">http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates</a>).<br>All papers must be submitted in PDF format.<br><br>All submissions will be reviewed by members of the program committee<br>and the organizing<br>committee for quality and relevance to AOSD. Each paper will be<br>reviewed by at least<br>3 reviewers. Accepted papers will become part of the proceedings and published<br>on the workshop website.<br><br>Submissions should be submitted in the Easy Chair system in the following URL:<br><a href="https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=eaaosd2011">https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=eaaosd2011</a><br><br><br>WORKSHOP PROCEEDINGS AND PUBLICATION<br>--------------------------------------<br><br>The papers will be published in both the electronic conference proceedings<br>and in the ACM Digital Library, granting ACM copyright.<br><br><br><br>PROGRAM COMMITTEE<br>--------------------------------------<br>- Mehmet Aksit (University of Twente, The Netherlands)<br>- Vander Alves (University of Brasilia, Brazil)<br>- Thais Batista (Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil)<br>- Nelis Boucké (Catholic University of Louvain, Belgium)<br>- Christina Chavez (Federal University of Bahia, Brazil)<br>- Ruzanna Chitchyan (University of Lancaster, UK)<br>- José María Conejero (Universidad de Extremadura, Spain)<br>- Jean-Michel Bruel (University of Toulouse, France)<br>- Lyrene Fernandes (Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil)<br>- Xavier Franch (University of Barcelona, Spain)<br>- Alessandro Garcia (PUC-Rio, Brazil)<br>- Wouter Joosen (Catholic University of Louvain, Belgium)<br>- Julio Leite (PUC-Rio, Brazil)<br>- Maria Lencastre (UPE, Brazil)<br>- Gunter Mussbacher (University of Ottawa, Canada)<br>- Elena Navarro (Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, Spain)<br>- Mónica Pinto (University of Málaga, Spain)<br>- Christa Schwanninger (Siemens, AG, Germany)<br>- Stanley Sutton (IBM Research, USA)<br>- Steffen Zschaler (Kings College, London)<br><br><br>ORGANIZING COMMITTEE<br>------------------------------------<br><br>- Pablo Sánchez,Universidad de Cantabria, Santander, Spain<br>- Uirá Kulesza, Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, Brazil<br>- Alberto Sardinha, Universidade Técnica de Lisboa, Lisbon, Portugal<br>- Carla Silva, Universidade Federal da Paraíba, Brazil<br>- João Araújo, FCT, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Caparica, Portugal<br><br><br>STEERING COMMITTEE<br>------------------------------------<br><br>- Awais Rashid, Lancaster University, UK<br>- Paul Clements, Carnegie Mellon University, Software Engineering<br>Institute, USA<br>- Ana Moreira, Universidade Nova Lisboa, Portugal<br>- João Araújo, New University of Lisbon, Portugal<br>- Elisa Baniassad, Chinese University of Hong Kong<br>- Bedir Tekinerdogan, University of Bilkent, Turkey<br><div>
