Developing stable software can alleviate the tremendous projected cost
associated with future changes in the system. This workshop will examine
software stability with respect to six central themes: "How can we
engineer software systems that are timeless and stable overtime?,"
"What are the approaches of making software systems stable over time?",
“How can we build software as a system of stable patterns?, "What
are the stable software patterns?", “How can we achieve a timeless
model based architectures for reuse?”, and “What are the impact\ relationship
of software stability on\with new technologies, such as aspect-oriented
architecture and programming, multi-agent technology, constraints-oriented
software development, component-based software development, application
and enterprise frameworks’ developments, and others?”
This workshop will bring together practitioners and researchers
who have been involved in the development of stable and adaptable software
architectures, or are interested in learning more about the state-of-the-art
and the state-of-the-practice in stable architectures, software stability
and stable patterns.
Papers are invited on both theoretical and practical aspects relevant to
software stability. Topics include (but are not restricted to):
· Theories
of software stability
· Stable
software architectures
· Model-based
software reuse
· Impact
of stability on software reuse
· Case
studies of the building stable software architectures
· Stable
software patterns
· Extracting
and reusing patterns from developed architectures
· Metrics
for the stability of the constructed systems
· Impact
of software stability on new technologies (such as aspect-oriented architecture
and programming, multi-agent technology, constraints-oriented software
development, component-based software development, etc)
· Patterns
compositions
Participation Forms
Participation in the workshop can
be done in one of three ways:
· by
submitting a position paper of 1-4 pages (IEEE style) that address any
of the relevant topics related to the workshop. Participants who are submitting
position papers will have the opportunity to present their experiences
or findings at the workshop. Submissions must be either MS-Word or RTF
formats (please, DO NOT compress files).
· by
sending an email to the workshop chair describing their relevant experience
in the area. The organizers will select some of those applicants to join
the workshop, based on the experiences, positions or ideas stated in the
email.
· by
attending the workshop and participating in active discussions. However,
this kind of participation is limited by the number of available places.
Preferences will be given to participants of the above two forms.
To foster lively discussions, participants are encouraged to present open
questions and one or two main statements that shall be discussed at the
workshop. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings
as a technical report at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA. The length
of the Camera-Ready papers should follow
the IEEE two-column template
(http://computer.org/author/psguide.htm)
and are limited to 4 pages
