Program  Registration and Accommodation  Paper submission
Aims and Scope
With Framework VII program in the horizon, the aim of this workshop is twofold:
  • Presentation of the current and future activities from the EU, Software Technologies unit, regarding Fundamental Software Engineering, Complexity and Self-Properties, Services, Open Source Software, and Industrial initiatives.
  • Refinement and discussion of the key challenges and future directions in each specific technical area as well as Software Technologies as a whole.
  • The workshop requires registration and is open to all interested parties, including ETAPS’06 participants. A specific Call for Papers encourages EU projects on Software Technologies to present their views as well as the Industrial initiatives and available road-mapping support actions.
    Topics:
  • Self* properties in software
  • Managing complexity in software systems
  • Service Composition and Service Engineering
  • Adaptive Services Enactment
  • Service-based Software Architectures
  • Open environments supporting rigorous system development
  • Verification and Validation of Systems of Systems
  • Aspect-oriented programming
  • Aspect-oriented analysis and design
  • Dependability in strongly-coupled applications
  • Dependability in service-based applications (co-ordination, orchestration)
  • Dependability vs. complexity
  • Reducing software integration complexity
  • Context-aware middleware
  • Service Discovery and Service Monitoring
  • Open Source Software adoption in commercial contexts
  • Transferring lessons from OSS development
  • Regular papers, Applications and case studies with a conceptual message, and Experience papers with a clear link to the challenges are all encouraged for submission.
    Deadlines: Papers submission (electronic, click here or see URL above): Jan 10th, 2006
    Notification of acceptance: Jan 20th, 2006
    Final version: Feb. 20st, 2006
