The conference will take place in Croatia Hotel which lies in a beautiful location on a peninsula overlooking the Adriatic on one side and the picturesque old city of Cavtat on the other.

The world famous medieval walled city of Dubrovnik is placed about 20 minutes by car, or half an hour by boat from the hotel. Dubrovnik is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site and is rich in cultural and historical monuments.

Component-based software engineering (CBSE) is a development paradigm that promises to accelerate software development and to reduce costs by assembling systems from prefabricated software components. Designing, developing and maintaining components and component-based applications for reuse is, however, a very complex process, which places high requirements not only for the component functional and non-functional properties, but also for the development organization. CBSE covers many software engineering disciplines and different techniques. Many of them have been developed and successfully implemented. CBSE has been successful in certain engineering domains, such as office applications and distributed internet-based applications but it is still in the early stage of utilization in many other domains, in particular those which have specific requirements on different quality attributes.

The CBSE track, sixth in a row, has a goal to point out the overall challenges and problems of the component-based approach, but also show the new ideas, solutions and practices. The aim of the track is to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to improve the theories, technologies, and processes in component-based software development. We encourage submissions of both theoretical nature and experience reports from academia and especially from industry. Suggested areas of interest include, but are not restricted to:

Component models and technologies Component development processes
Component specifications Evaluation of components
Component-based software architecture COTS components
Components and Quality Attributes

Components and Open Source

Component compositions - modeling, static nad dynamic (plug-in) compositions CBSE organizational issues
Middleware solutions for CBSE Component markets and businesses
Component design, implementation, testing Case studies and experience reports
Dependability of component-based systems Development environment and tools
Components for real-time and embedded systems CBSE and emerging disciplines (services, model-driven development, aspect-oriented programming, etc. )

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS
The submissions should be made electronically, either in postscript or PDF format.
The submission is closed.

The accepted paper should follow two column IEEE conference format. To get format  description and templates follow the IEEE link.

Papers should not exceed 8 pages (in IEEE/CS proceedings format; 10pt, single-space, double-column) or 6000 words and include an abstract of up to 150 words.  Papers must not have been previously published or submitted elsewhere. If accepted, the paper must be personally  presented at the EUROMICRO 2005 Conference by the author or one of the  co-authors. The presenting author(s) must pre-register (full fee) for EUROMICRO SEAA 2006 before the due date of the Camera-ready paper.

GENERAL INFORMATION
This track is an integral part of the EUROMICRO SEAA 2006  conference. The conference proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society.
The authors of best papers will be invited to submit extended versions of the papers to special edition of Elsevier  JOURNAL OF SYSTEMS ARCHITECTURE.
