CALL FOR PAPERS
Journal of Universal Computer Science (J.UCS)
Special Issue: *Software Components, Architectures and Reuse*
http://www.each.usp.br/fantinato/jucs-cfp-special-issue-cars2014.html
THEME AND TOPICS
The aim of this special issue is to report the state of research and practice on the theme of software components, architectures, and reuse.
It will cover all topics related to software components, architectures, and reuse including, but not limited to:
* Component-based Software Engineering: specification, verification, testing, evolution, certification, and quality, of components of component-based systems * Software Architecture: architecture recovery; architecture description languages; software architecture evaluation; service-oriented architectures * Software Reuse: technical and non-technical issues * Software Product Lines, Dynamic PL, Service-Oriented PL * Model-driven Development * Service-based Development * Aspect-based Development * Design Patterns * Software Modularity * Variability Management * Generative Programming and Domain-Specific Languages * Tool support for software components, architectures, and reuse * Case studies and experience reports related to software components, architectures, and reuse * Experimental Studies related to software components, architectures, and reuse
SUBMISSIONS
This call for papers is open to all potential authors worldwide. In addition, this Special Issue will include extended submissions of selected papers of the Brazilian Symposium on Software Components, Architectures and Reuse, editions of 2012 and 2013 (http://www.cbsoft.dimap.ufrn.br/sbcars_apresentacao.php?lang=en and http://cbsoft2013.unb.br/en/sbcars-en).
We solicit high-quality papers on these themes and topics to appear in this special issue.
All submitted papers will undergo a rigorous peer review process. Reviewers for this Special Issue will be composed of active researchers in the area of software components, architectures, and reuse, in particular drawn from http://www.cbsoft.dimap.ufrn.br/sbcars_comite.php?lang=en and http://info-web.lirmm.fr/ecsa13/index.php/programme-committee. Each submission will be reviewed by at least three reviewers.
Papers wil be selected based on originality, quality, soundness and relevance. All contributions must be original, written in English, not published, accepted or submitted for publication elsewhere.
Of particular importance, each paper must clearly position its contribution to the state-of-the-art and how it relates to previous publications of J.UCS Special Issues in the area of software components, architectures and reuse:
* 2008 Special Issue http://www.jucs.org/jucs_14_8/software_components_architectures_and/abstract.html * 2009 Special Issue http://www.jucs.org/jucs_15_11/software_components_architectures_and/abstract.html * 2011 Special Issue http://www.jucs.org/jucs_17_5/software_components_architectures_and/abstract.html * 2013 Special Issue http://www.jucs.org/jucs_19_2/software_components_architectures_and/abstract.html
The recommended length of a paper is of max. 20 pages. The submissions should follow J.UCS formatting guidelines. For more details see the "JUCS Style Guide for Authors" at http://www.jucs.org/jucs_info/submissions.
Paper submissions will be made electronically via the JEMS portal https://submissoes.sbc.org.br/home.cgi?c=1793 (https://submissoes.sbc.org.br/home.cgi?c=1793).
Any questions about this special issue should be sent to the guest editors.
The Journal of Universal Computer Science (J.UCS) is a high-quality electronic publication that deals with all aspects of computer science.
