[aspectc-user] ACP4IS @ AOSD2007 : Deadline Extension

[Olaf Spinczyk]

Dear AspectC++ users,

as the number of submissions for the ACP4IS workshop was lower than
expected, the organizers decided yesterday to extend the submission
deadline. All accepted papers will be published in the ACM digital
library. This might be a good opportunity to get feedback on your latest
ideas and a publication.

Best regards,

Olaf

       Sixth AOSD Workshop on Aspects, Components, and Patterns
                 for Infrastructure Software (ACP4IS)

                            March 12, 2007
                          Vancouver, Canada

        A one-day workshop to be held in conjunction with the
                  Sixth International Conference on
           Aspect-Oriented Software Development (AOSD'07),
                 March 12-16, 2007, Vancouver, Canada
                      http://aosd.net/conference


                  << EXTENDED SUBMISSION DEADLINE >>


DESCRIPTION

ACP4IS provides a highly interactive forum for researchers and
developers to discuss the application of and relationships between
aspects, components, and patterns within modern "systems
infrastructure" software: e.g., application servers, middleware,
virtual machines, compilers, operating systems, and other software
that provides general services for higher-level applications.

Topics of interest include:

- Approaches that combine or relate component-, pattern-, and
  aspect-based techniques

- Aspect languages for infrastructure software

- Container-, ORB-, and system-based separation of concerns

- Architectural techniques for particular system concerns, e.g.,
  security, static and dynamic optimization

- Aspect mining within infrastructure software

- Application- or domain-specific optimization of systems

- Reasoning and optimization across architecture layers

- Resource consumption of AOP approaches

- Timing behavior of AO-code

- Dimensions of infrastructure software quality including
  comprehensibility, configurability, reliability, evolvability,
  scalability

- Quantitative and qualitative evaluations

This year's edition will feature a special (non-excluding) focus on
aspects for real-time and embedded systems.  Contributions that are
related to the topics of interest and the special focus are highly
appreciated.


AGENDA

The workshop will be structured to encourage fruitful discussions and
build connections between workshop participants. To this end,
approximately half of the workshop time will be devoted to short
presentations of accepted papers, with the remaining half devoted to
semi-structured discussion groups. Participants will be expected to
have read the accepted papers prior to the workshop, to help ensure
focused discussions. Participants will work with the workshop
organizers prior to the workshop to establish topics for discussion
groups.


PUBLICATION IN THE ACM DIGITAL LIBRARY

The workshop papers will be published in the ACM digital library,
which will increase the visibility of the work presented in the
workshop. Inclusion of a workshop paper in the ACM digital library,
which is subjected to the authors' approval, requires a standard
copyright transfer for that paper to ACM.


SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Invitation to the workshop will be based on accepted position and
technical papers, 3-6 pages in length.  Papers should be
electronically submitted in PDF, Postscript, or MS Word format through
the ACP4IS 2007 online submission system.  Paper submissions will be
reviewed by the workshop program committee and designated reviewers.
Papers will be evaluated based on technical quality, originality,
relevance, and presentation.

The publication of selected articles as a special journal issue is
planned.
