-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] The 15th International Conference on Software Reuse (ICSR 2016): Second Combined Call for Contributions Datum: Sat, 31 Oct 2015 13:55:22 +0200 Von: George Angelos Papadopoulos <george(a)cs.ucy.ac.cy> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org, mycolleagues(a)mailman.ufsc.br, CSE-CFP(a)cse.stfx.ca, admmyc(a)ig.com.br, irma-l(a)irma-international.org, tccc-announce(a)comsoc.org, sigcomm(a)postel.org *** Second Combined Call for Contributions *** The 15th International Conference on Software Reuse (ICSR 2016) June 5-7, 2016, St. Raphael Resort, Limassol, Cyprus http://cyprusconferences.org/icsr2016/ For decades the International Conference on Software Reuse (ICSR) has been the premier event in the field of software reuse research and technology. The main goal of ICSR is to present the most recent advances and breakthroughs in the area of software reuse and to promote an intensive and continuous exchange among researchers and practitioners. The 15th International Conference on Software Reuse (ICSR 2016) will be held on June 5-7 2016, in Cyprus. CALL FOR RESEARCH PAPERS We invite submissions on new and innovative research results and industrial experience reports in the area of software reuse. The guiding theme of ICSR 2016 is: Software reuse: bridging with social-awareness Development online social networks are gaining ground lately with software engineers participating in different fora collaborating and exchanging ideas and expertise. Software reuse needs to utilize, but also strengthen, this new form of synergies that can be built among engineers. ICSR special theme aims to bring this aspect in software reuse by raising social-awareness, strengthening the existing platforms and tools, and utilizing the vast software information that exists in development social networks. Amongst the numerous important challenges we identified the following major topics for research focusing on reuse with social-awareness: · Social network interactions between developers to support software reuse · Utilization of online social development tools for software reuse · Software reuse to enhance social-awareness · Trust, security and semantic issues of social aspects of software reuse Beyond those novel challenges for software reuse, we solicit submissions dealing with all aspects of software reuse, including, but not limited to the following ones: · Domain analysis and modelling · Asset search and retrieval · Architecture-centric reuse approaches · Component-based reuse · Service-oriented architectures · COTS-based development and reuse of open source assets · Generative development · Domain-specific languages · Software composition and modularization · Model-driven development · Reengineering for reuse · Software product line techniques · Quality assurance for software reuse, such as testing and verification · Reuse of non-code artifacts (process, experience, etc.) · Economic models of reuse · Benefit and risk analysis, scoping · Legal and managerial aspects of reuse · Transition to software reuse · Industrial experience with reuse · Light-weight reuse approaches · Agile reuse · Software evolution and reuse · Reuse for mobile and ubiquitous applications Paper Submission Novel and well-founded work in the wider area of software reuse is highly welcome. We look for strong research work which might have a strong theoretical or empirical foundation. Theoretical work should in particular provide innovative ideas and should be based on a sound theoretical basis. Empirical work based on case studies, empirical research and experiments is also highly welcome. Industrial submissions describing practical experience are also strongly encouraged. Submissions must conform to Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science format, and are limited to 16 pages in length, in English. Short papers (up to 8 pages) are accepted as well and should be marked accordingly. You will be able to submit your paper via Easychair. Each submission will be reviewed by at least three members of the Program Committee. We plan to have a best paper award for this conference, details will be announced in due time. Accepted papers will be published in Springer's highly visible LNCS series again. Please note that a full conference (i.e. not a student) registration is required for a technical paper to be published. Moreover, the prestigious Journal of Systems and Software will dedicate a special issue on software reuse for which the authors of selected papers from the conference will be invited to submit an extended version (containing at least 30% new material). The CFP of the special issue can be found here: http://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-systems-and-software/call-for-p… CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS ICSR 2016, the premier conference on software reuse, invites proposals for one-day and half-day workshops to be hosted in conjunction with the conference. Since software reuse is pervasive in all aspects of software development, workshops on a variety of topics including, but not limited to those listed above may be appropriate. Submissions in the area of the conference's main topic will receive preferential treatment. Workshop proposals are limited to 3 pages in length. The proposal should include the following information: · A title of the workshop · Names of organizers and their affiliations · A summary of workshop objectives · A statement of why the workshop would be of interest to potential ICSR attendees · A description of the qualifications of the organizers to host the workshop · A preliminary schedule for the workshop · Your estimates on number of interested attendees · Any past experience with hosting such workshops · Any special workshop requirements · A one-page Workshop CFP (such as the one the organizers would send out to invite attendees). Please email your workshop proposals to Tommi Mikkonen (tjm(a)cs.tut.fi). Proposals are reviewed as they are received on a first come first served basis. Workshop descriptions and associated papers will be part of the conference post-proceedings. Springer will be contacted for potential inclusion in the Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS) series (http://www.springer.com/series/7899). CALL FOR TUTORIAL PROPOSALS ICSR 2016, the premier conference on software reuse, invites submissions for tutorial proposals. The purpose of the tutorial program is to provide participants with the opportunity to expand their software reuse knowledge and skills. Tutorials may focus on well-established or cutting-edge topics, particularly welcome are those consistent with ICSR 2016 theme, and in general the ones concerning software reuse as listed in the CFP. Proposals for tutorials are limited to 3 pages and should include: · The tutorial title and keywords · The tutorial length (half or full day) · Presenter information (short bio) · Tutorial description, history (if a similar tutorial was given before by the presenters) · Presentation format/method including technical requirements (beamer, whiteboards, etc.) Please email your tutorial proposals to Tommi Mikkonen (tjm(a)cs.tut.fi). Tutorial proposals are reviewed as they are received on a first come first served basis. Tutorial descriptions will not appear in the ICSR Proceedings, but all speakers can have any relevant materials posted on the ICSR web site. DOCTORAL SYMPOSIUM CALL FOR PAPERS The goal of the Doctoral Symposium is to provide a forum for doctoral students working in the area of software reuse (or in areas closely related to reuse) to discuss their proposed thesis. Students will get feedback on their work from the Symposium Expert Panelists, and will be able to attend regular ICSR sessions. Participants will present their work highlighting the main research challenges, solution directions, results obtained thus far, evaluation plan, and research plan towards the completion of the Ph.D. studies. Presentation - limited to twenty minutes - should be supported by slides. An Expert Panel composed of software reuse researchers will provide feedback to help students shape their work. There will be an award for the most promising idea for original research. The winner will be selected based on the submitted paper, presentation and discussions. Accepted papers will be published (probably at CEUR, http://ceur-ws.org). Submission Instructions Currently registered doctoral students are invited to submit their proposal for participation in the Doctoral Symposium, provided they have already selected a research topic and outlined the research plan in some detail. The event serves as an opportunity to receive early feedback on a thesis topic or later feedback to help tune a dissertation. To be considered, a student should submit a research papers and his/her supervisor should submit a recommendation letter as follows: The research paper should be written in the style of the thesis proposal, addressing the research problem description and its importance (who will benefit from the solution and how), research challenges, research approach, related work (highlight the novelty of your approach), results to date, plans for evaluation, and references. Please indicate on the top of the front page: your name, the date (month/year) that you started your Ph.D., the expected defense date (month/year), and the name of your advisor. The paper is limited to four pages in length and must conform to Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science format. Submit the paper directly to the symposium chair Maurizio Morisio (maurizio.morisio(a)polito.it), with subject "ICSR DS Symposium Proposal". Recommendation letter: A thesis advisor should e-mail a brief recommendation letter directly to the symposium chair Maurizio Morisio, with subject "ICSR DS Symposium Recommendation Letter". An Expert Panel will evaluate all submissions and accepted proposals will be presented at the ICSR Doctoral Symposium. It is important to notice that the person that will present an accepted paper must be the doctoral student, author of the paper. Professors and colleagues are not allowed to present papers on behalf of the doctoral student. CALL FOR TOOL DEMONSTRATIONS The ICSR Tool Demonstrations enable industry and academic researchers to share their ideas and present the state of the art and practice in Software Reuse. ICSR 2016 presents an excellent opportunity for researchers and professional software engineers to present their working tools and systems to the Software Reuse community. Submission Instructions We invite proposals for tool demonstrations on any topics related to software reuse. Tools suggesting their reuse recommendations directly in IDEs (such as Eclipse etc.) are especially welcome. All selected tools will be presented during the conference in two ways: · A formal lecture-style presentation session · An informal demo session where individuals can walk around, ask specific questions, and interact with the tools. Submissions should not exceed four pages in proceedings format. Proposals for tool demonstrations should be sent to the tools demonstration chair Frederik Kramer (frederik.kramer(a)initos.com). Demo papers are envisaged to appear as a technical report online. Authors are encouraged to share their tools and presentations as well as illustrative videos.

Many long-standing societal, business and institutional systems have either lost their relevance or have transformed beyond recognition. Education does not stand untouched, frequently operating in unstable economic and policy environments. We look afresh and identify new models, approaches for education (OER, MOOCs, PLEâs, Learning Analytics). For learners this has also been a great leap - the networked learner is sharing voluntarily and for free, spontaneously with billions of people. In the new learning environments the core players and stakeholders â learners, educators, government bodies, educational and learning institutions - increasingly acknowledge the chance for constructive and positive changes. Perhaps there are new business models, new policies, different ways to understand technological influences, the networked society â /*the learning environment, in its widest sense*/. EDEN 25 We are proud, being a continuously strengthening and developing European association in the field of open, distance and e-learning, learning modernization and innovation, having reached our 25th Anniversary in 2016. The historical perspective from the start has been conceived as a dialogue between the experience and the imagination. Some celebration is allowed, but what EDEN would like to use special occasion is combining past and future in synchron with the concept of the anniversary conference, to find out what has been important, worth of acknowledging as mainstream and sustainable â created by our academic and professional community. Call for Contributions We need renowned *reflections of practice* that support *paradigm-changing transformations* based on systematic knowledge. The responsibility of the scholarly community includes *widening the concept of learning *and its role in society and *exploiting transformative knowledge to drive social change*. Join the Community in the exciting city of Budapest to share your research, projects and practice at #EDEN16! Networking and interactivity, sharing and discussion will be core aspects of the conference experience, focusing on what you can learn from and with your peers. Submissions that relate to the Conference Scope and to the Conference Themes are invited in the following formats: *paper*,*poster*,*workshop, training, demonstration and synergy.* The Conference Committee will double peer review all submissions. Accepted contributions will be published in the electronic Conference Proceedings and their summary in the Book of Abstracts. Young Scholars Support We are pleased to announce that EDEN's support scheme to young scholars will be offered *again* at the 2016 Annual Conference. Two young researchers' attendance at the Conference will be supported with â¬600 each.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] WRLA 2016: 1st Call for Papers Datum: Wed, 28 Oct 2015 17:49:54 +0200 Von: Dorel Lucanu <dlucanu(a)thor.info.uaic.ro> An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> ======================== Call for Papers ================================= WRLA 2016 11th International Workshop on Rewriting Logic and its Applications An ETAPS 2016 satellite event Eindhoven, The Netherlands, April 2-3, 2016 ========================================================================== IMPORTANT DATES * Abstract deadline: January 6th 2016 * Submission deadline: January 10th 2016 * Author notification: February 14th 2016 * Workshop: Saturday April 2nd and Sunday April 3rd, 2016 AIMS AND SCOPE Rewriting is a natural model of computation and an expressive semantic framework for concurrency, parallelism, communication, and interaction. It can be used for specifying a wide range of systems and languages in various application domains. It also has good properties as a metalogical framework for representing logics. Several successful languages based on rewriting (ASF+SDF, CafeOBJ, ELAN, Maude) have been designed and implemented. The aim of WRLA is to bring together researchers with a common interest in rewriting and its applications, and to give them the opportunity to present their recent work, discuss future research directions, and exchange ideas. The 2016 edition of WRLA will mark its 20th anniversary since its first edition in Asilomar, California, in 1996. The topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to: A. Foundations * foundations and models of rewriting and rewriting logic, including termination, confluence, coherence and complexity * unification, generalisation, narrowing, and partial evaluation * constrained rewriting and symbolic algebra * graph rewriting * tree automata * rewriting strategies * rewriting-based calculi and explicit substitutions B. Rewriting as a Logical and Semantic Framework * uses of rewriting and rewriting logic as a logical framework, including deduction modulo * uses of rewriting as a semantic framework for programming language semantics * rewriting semantics of concurrency models, distributed systems, and network protocols * rewriting semantics of real-time, hybrid, and probabilistic systems * uses of rewriting for compilation and language transformation C. Rewriting Languages * rewriting-based declarative languages * type systems for rewriting * implementation techniques * tools supporting rewriting languages D. Verification Techniques * verification of confluence, termination, coherence, sufficient completeness, and related properties * temporal, modal and reachability logics for verifying dynamic properties of rewrite theories * explicit-state and symbolic model-checking techniques for verification of rewrite theories * rewriting-based theorem proving, including (co)inductive theorem proving * rewriting-based constraint solving and satisfiability * rewriting-semantics-based verification and analysis of programs E. Applications * applications to logic, mathematics and physics * rewriting models of biology, chemistry, and membrane systems * security specification and verification * applications to distributed, network, mobile, and cloud computing * specification and verification of real-time, probabilistic, and cyber-physical systems * specifications and verification of critical systems * applications to model-based software engineering * applications to engineering and planning INVITED SPEAKERS TBA SUBMISSION We solicit submissions of regular papers, tool papers, and work-in-progress papers. Regular papers must contain original contributions, be clearly written, include appropriate references, and comparison with related work. They must be unpublished and not submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere. Tool papers have to present a new tool, a new tool component, or novel extensions to an existing tool. They should provide a short description of the theoretical foundations with relevant citations, emphasise the design and implementation, and give a clear account of the tool's functionality. The described tools must be publicly available via the web. Work-in-progress papers present early-stage work or other types of innovative or thought-provoking work related to the topics of the workshop. The difference between work-in-progress and regular papers is that work-in-progress submissions represent work that has not reached yet a level of completion that would warrant the full-refereed selection process. We encourage researchers and practitioners to submit work-in-progress papers as this provides a unique opportunity for sharing valuable ideas, eliciting useful feedback on ongoing work, and fostering discussions and collaborations among colleagues. All submissions should be formatted according to the guidelines for Springer LNCS papers, and should be submitted electronically using EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wrla2016 Regular and work-in-progress papers should not exceed 15 pages including references. Tool papers can have a maximum of 6 pages including references and may have an appendix of up to 4 additional pages with usage details and tool demonstration. PUBLICATION All submissions will be evaluated by the program committee. Regular papers, tool papers, and work-in-progress papers that are accepted will be presented at the workshop and included in the pre-proceedings, which will be available during the workshop. Following the tradition of the last editions, it is expected the regular papers, tool papers, and invited presentations to be published as a volume in Springerâs Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series to be distributed after the workshop. A special issue of the Journal of Logical and Algebraic Methods in Programming (JLAMP) will be devoted to extended versions of selected papers from WRLA 2016.
