Motivation

The sheer complexity and emergent behavior of large scale systems make it 
impossible to completely understand systems without the aid of specific tools. 
Especially, more and more systems start to use advanced compositions like 
Aspect-Orientation in its development. Advanced composition technology enables 
the creation and usage of powerful abstractions. Improved modularity yields 
significant benefits in terms of reuse and separation of concerns.

By using of abstractions, as they are present in languages, middlewares, and 
models, certain properties of a system are hidden (abstracted). This creates 
the problem of comprehending the run-time behavior in terms of the used 
abstractions and the properties that were abstracted away (e.g. debugging AO 
programs, diagnosing violation of performance service-level agreements). To 
encourage wider adoption of advanced modularity, tools are required to assist 
developers in understanding the run-time behavior of complex composed systems. 
This workshop aims to create a dialogue on the problem of program comprehension 
and its relation to modularity in the wider context.

Workshop format

The CoCoS workshop will consist of a keynote talk, paper presentations and 
interactive discussion sessions.

CoCoS aims to create lively discussions on various subjects and CoCoS 
participant will have a great role in this regard. Every participant with an 
accepted paper will have a half-hour time slot to present their work and answer 
questions. Apart from that, every participant will prepare a short review of a 
fellow participant's paper. The reviewer's responsibility is to summarize 
his/her thoughts and suggestions on the presenter's work.
Along with the paper submission, participants are also asked to submit 
discussion topics. The topics can include participants’ experiences, design or 
implementation challenges, asking for opinion and anything that the 
participants think are worth to be discussed. The committee will then pick from 
these discussion topics; the selected topics will be discussed during the 
discussion sessions.

At the end of the workshop every participant will state if they see a possible 
collaboration with other participants.

Goals
CoCoS is to serve as a forum for the discussion of emerging ideas and to 
increase the interest in the proposed field. The accepted papers will be 
published in the ACM digital library. CoCoS provides an opportunity for 
researchers to exchange their experiences and opinions. We will create a 
mailing list for interested participants so that communication can continue 
after the workshop.

Topics of Interest

CoCoS is to serve as a forum for the discussion of emerging ideas in the 
proposed fields. The accepted papers will be published in the ACM digital 
library. CoCoS provides an opportunity that researchers can exchange their 
experiences and opinions.

Examples of topics targeted by this workshop include, but are not limited to:
- Static and dynamic tools for coding, navigating, debugging, profiling, etc.
- Language-specific and abstraction-specific visualizations
- Tools for comprehension of heterogeneous systems, that bridge the gap between 
different programs, machines, or environments in a local or distributed context
- Empirical evaluations of tools for (new) languages
- Techniques such as fault detection that can provide better code quality
- Generic tools, supporting multiple languages or abstractions
- Domain-specific tools
- Techniques and properties of language design for increased comprehension
- Techniques and tools for the comprehension of cloud-scale systems
