Subject: CFP: 2nd Workshop on Open Source Software Engineering
Date: Wed, 6 Feb 2002 11:14:14 -0000
From: "Feller, Joe" <JFeller(a)AFIS.UCC.IE>
To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE
CALL FOR PAPERS
Meeting Challenges and Surviving Success: The 2nd Workshop on Open Source
Software Engineering
http://opensource.ucc.ie/icse2002
The 2nd Workshop on Open Source Software Engineering is an official event
(http://www.icse-conferences.org/2002/info/workshops.html) of the 24th
International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE 2002), which will be
held in Orlando, FL, USA from May 19-25, 2002.
The workshop is currently scheduled for Saturday May 25, and is a one-day
event. The workshop is limited to 35 participants.
In May 2001, "Making Sense of the Bazaar: The 1st Workshop on Open Source
Software Engineering" was held at the 23rd International Conference on
Software Engineering (ICSE 2001) in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Since then,
interest in Open Source Software (OSS) has continued to gain momentum, both
in the practitioner and research communities. The goal of this year's
workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss both
the short and long term sustainability of OSS. Specifically, the workshop
will seek to address the quality and maintainability of OSS products and
tools, the replicability and portability of the OSS software engineering
process and tool kit, the stability and sustainability of OSS developer and
user communities, and the viability and profitability of OSS business
models.
The discussion will be organized around four key themes:
1. The quality and maintainability of OSS products. This includes, but is
not limited to, the reliability, availability, security, and usability of
OSS products and tools; the architectural characteristics of OSS products
and tools; and the current and future roles played by OSS products and tools
in different application spaces. Of particular interest is the phenomenon of
"boot-strapping", i.e., the role of OSS software (both existing and
potential) in the development of OSS software.
2. The replicability and portability of the OSS software engineering process
and tool kit. This includes, but is not limited to, dialogue and knowledge
transfer between OSS and traditional software engineering approaches and
tool use; comparisons between OSS and other methods of software engineering;
and the extent to which traditional software developers are able to
effectively adopt OSS tools and techniques.
3. The stability and sustainability of OSS developer and user communities.
This includes, but is not limited to, the community-based management of
knowledge, reputation and trust; mechanisms and practices for effective
collaboration; and comparisons between company-led (or company-enabled) OSS
development teams and emergent, volunteer communities.
4. The viability and profitability of OSS business models. This includes,
but is not limited to, the sustainability of pure-play OSS business models;
the emergence of hybrid proprietary-OSS business models; and the impact of
intellectual property law on OSS.
Position Papers:
All participants are strongly encouraged to submit a position paper of no
more than 3 pages, addressing one or more of the workshop themes described
above, or related issues. Position Papers should follow the guidelines at
http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html.
Position papers should be submitted by March 15, 2002 using one of the
following formats: plain text, rich text, html, or MS-Word (yes, we
appreciate the irony). Send position papers and inquiries to Joseph Feller
at jfeller(a)afis.ucc.ie.
Position papers will be reviewed by the Organizing Committee (see below) and
accepted papers will be published in the official workshop proceedings and
on the workshop website. Four position papers will be selected to be
delivered as mini-presentations on the day of the workshop.
Organizing Committee:
Joseph Feller, University College Cork, Ireland (Chair)
Brian Fitzgerald, University of Limerick, Ireland
Frank Hecker, CollabNet, Inc., USA
Scott A. Hissam, Software Engineering Institute, USA
Karim Lakhani, MIT Sloan School of Management, USA

Subject: Final CfP for OOIS workshop on "Model-Driven Approaches to Software Development"
Date: Mon, 4 Feb 2002 16:42:59 -0700
From: "Turk,Dan" <Dan.Turk(a)BUSINESS.COLOSTATE.EDU>
To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE
Final call for workshop papers
"Model-Driven Approaches to Software Development"
September 2, 2002
8th International Conference on Object-Oriented Information Systems (OOIS'02)
Montpellier, FRANCE
Goal
The goal of this workshop is to look at issues related to model-driven
development. Discussions in the workshop will address questions such as the
following: What is model-driven development? How effective is it? What is
a model-driven architecture (MDA) architecture? How can models be used to
support agile development of systems?
Topics and Motivation
"Extreme Programming", "Agile Modeling", "Model-driven software
development", "Model-driven architectures", "Agile Development", "OMG's
MDA". These catch-phrases are currently the topic of much discussion in the
software development world.
Some software methodologists say that modeling should drive the whole
process. Some say modeling should be only done informally, and that models
should not be kept for future use (i.e., that they are temporary artifacts
produced during development). How useful is modeling? When should it be
done? Can modeling be demonstrated to provide business value? Can
architectures be developed using "agile" or XP approaches? What makes an
approach agile, and what makes agile approaches advantageous? Can
model-driven approaches be agile? Can we quantify the benefits of agile
approaches?
These are all questions currently receiving a lot of attention in the
software development world. This workshop solicits papers on any of these,
or related topics, especially papers integrating agile approaches and
model-driven development, and papers showing empirical support for these
approaches. Papers focusing on the integration (or lack of ability to
integrate) of agile and model-driven approaches fits well within the OOIS
conference theme, "Information System Integration."
Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:
* Issues in model-driven development
* OMG's Model-Driven Architecture (MDA)
* The value of models (e.g., business models, enterprise architectures,
requirements and design models) * Modeling techniques and notations
relevant to IS development
* Assumptions underlying model-driven development
* The compatibility (or tension) between agile and model-driven
development * Business value of modeling
* Empirical validation of the value of modeling, especially using the
OMG's UML and MDA * Empirical support for the effectiveness of
model-driven and agile development approaches * Empirical validation of
the benefits of Agile development (XP, Scrum, etc.)
Participants
This workshop is intended for researchers and practitioners who are
interested in model-driven development and architectures, how to better
build and use them, what form(s) they take, and their value. It is assumed
that participants are familiar with basic concepts and issues in the domain
of model-driven development.
Selection Process
There are two types of submissions: position papers and full papers.
Position papers may be up to 5 pages in length, while full papers may be up
to 15 pages. All submissions should be single-spaced, using 12-point font,
and have 1-inch margins all around. Postscript, Word, and PDF formats are
acceptable. A Program Committee will review the submissions and select
papers that present relevant and interesting ideas and concepts that can
contribute to the discussions that will take place in the workshop. OOIS
plans to print a Springer proceedings of the workshop. Extended versions of
outstanding papers may be recommended for publication in an appropriate
journal.
