Please apologize for multiple copies Call for Papers ========================================================================= 32st Euromicro Conference on Software Engineering and Advanced Applications COMPONENT-BASED SOFTWARE ENGINEERING TRACK Cavtat/Dubrovnik (Croatia) August 28-September 1, 2006 http://www.idt.mdh.se/ecbse/2006 ========================================================================= IMPORTANT DATES: Submission of papers: March 15th, 2006 Notification of acceptance: May 3th, 2006 Camera-ready paper due: June 9th, 2006 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 specifications -Component-based software architecture -Components and Quality Attributes -Component compositions - modeling, static nad dynamic compositions -Middleware solutions for CBSE -Component design, implementation, testing -Dependability of component-based systems -Components for real-time and embedded systems -Component development processes -Evaluation of components -COTS components -Components and Open Source -CBSE organizational issues -Component markets and businesses -Case studies and experience reports -Development environment and tools -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. To submit papers visit http://www.idt.mdh.se/ecbse/2006/cyber/html/submit . The accepted paper should follow two column IEEE conference format. To get format description and templates follow the link: http://www.idt.mdh.se/ecbse/2006/ecbse-mansubmit.htm 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. 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 2005 before the due date of the Camera-ready paper. VENUE The Conference will take place at the luxurious five star hotel "Croatia" in Cavtat, Croatia, only 10 minutes from Dubrovnik International Airport. The hotel, located on a peninsula surrounded by the crystal clear Adriatic Sea offers a picturesque view of the city of Cavtat, near (20 minutes) from the odl city of Dubrovnik. Dubrovnik is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site and is rich in cultural and historical monuments. 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 a special edition of Elsevier JOURNAL OF SYSTEMS ARCHITECTURE.
