International Conference on Software Reuse - ICSR
May 25-29, 2008
Beijing, China
ICSR is the premier international conference in the field of software
reuse. The main goal of ICSR is to present the advances and
improvements within the software reuse domain, as well as to promote
interaction between researchers and practitioners. The 10th
International Conference on Software Reuse (ICSR 2008) will be held on
May 25-29, 2008 in Beijing, China. We invite Research Papers, Workshop
Proposals, Tutorial Proposals, Symposium Descriptions and Tool
Demonstrations to be presented and discussed in the conference.
The theme of this year is "High Confidence Software Reuse in Large
Systems". A high confidence system is one that behaves in a well-
understood and predictable fashion. It must withstand malicious
attacks as well as naturally occurring hazards, and must not cause or
contribute to accidents or unacceptable losses. Achieving high
confidence is becoming more difficult as systems become more complex,
especially in large software systems. Today's trends towards
widespread use of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technology,
increased integration, continuous evolution, and larger scale are
yielding more complex software systems. So, the problem of how to
build high confidence complex systems and how to reuse software with a
high level of confidence become new attractive problems for research.
On the other hand, high level software asset reuse has been a goal for
the last twenty to thirty years, and it can still be considered an
unsolved question. Components Based Development, MDA-MDE-MDD, Extreme
Programming, and other techniques or methods are promising approaches
to software reuse that still need more research.
ICSR 2008 in Beijing will address these new scenarios and their major
challenges. We invite authors to submit articles that present results,
position papers or experiences relevant to software reuse. The
suggested topics for paper submissions include, but are not limited
to:
* High Confidence Software Reuse Methods
* Confidence Ensuring and Evaluating Methods
* Best Practice of Software Reuse in Very Large Systems
* Architecture Based Software Reuse
* Reuse in Service-oriented Environment
* Reuse of Service-oriented/SOA Systems
* Reliability and security of OTS components and legal issues
* Documentation of OTS component
* Processes to identify and select OTS components
* Software integration and evolution problems
* Interaction with the developer community, or with the vendor
* Software variability management
* Aspect-oriented software reuse
* Software generators and domain-specific languages
* Software product lines, software product families, and domain
engineering
* Component-based software engineering
* Application of MDD
* Asset search and retrieval techniques
* Evolution of component-based software systems
* Lightweight approaches to software reuse
* Managing the transition towards a reuse organization
* Legal, managerial, and economic issues of software development with
reuse
* Benefit and risk analysis of reuse investments
* Reuse in the e-commerce context: how to address fast-evolving
markets
* Generation of non-code artifacts
* Testing of components and generators
* Quality aspects of reuse, e.g. security and reliability
* Success and failure stories of reuse approaches from industrial
context
RESEARCH PAPERS
Research papers should describe original and significant work in the
research and practice of software reuse. Case studies, empirical
research, and experiments are particularly welcome. We also welcome
papers that present leading edge and novel ideas in software reuse.
The proceedings of the conference will be published by Springer in its
Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Submissions must conform to
Springer's LNCS format and must not exceed 10 pages (About 5000 words)
in length, in English. For detailed information, please access our
conference website:
http://www.sei.pku.edu.cn/conference/icsr2008/
***Submit by December 20, 2007***
WORKSHOPS
ICSR 2008 also invites submissions of workshop proposals. The
workshops co-located with the conference should provide an opportunity
for exchanging views, advancing ideas, and discussing preliminary
results on software reuse research and applications. Workshop
proposals should not exceed 3 pages, including one page preliminary
call for papers, their relevance to the conference, expected number of
presenters and participants, and a brief description of workshop
organizers. Proposals for workshops can be sent to Dr. Jianjun Zhao
(Email: (e-mail address removed)), ICSR 2008 Workshops Chair. For
detailed information about the workshop proposals delivery, please
access our conference website:
http://www.sei.pku.edu.cn/conference/icsr2008/
***Submit by November 10, 2007***
TUTORIALS
Tutorials are an integral component of the ICSR conferences. They
should offer participants the opportunity to explore software reuse
topics in depth; to gain new insights, knowledge, and skills; and to
learn from some of the leaders in the field. Proposals for tutorials
are invited on any theme that is relevant to the software reuse
community. However, we are particularly keen to offer tutorials aimed
at disseminating the results of research and experience to
practitioners. Proposals for tutorials can be sent to Dr. Jeffrey
Poulin (Email: (e-mail address removed)), ICSR 2008 Tutorials Chair.
For detailed information, please access our conference website:
http://www.sei.pku.edu.cn/conference/icsr2008/
***Submit by December 15, 2007***
DOCTORAL SYMPOSIUM
The Doctoral Symposium track is for those who are currently working on
or who have recently completed their PhD thesis. The track offers an
opportunity to present research problems, solution directions, results
obtained thus far, and research plans towards the completion of the
PhD studies. The paper should be a 2 page summary of your PhD project,
and can be sent to Dr. Gregory Kulczycki (Email: (e-mail address removed)), ICSR
2008 Doctoral Symposium Chair. For detailed information, please access
our conference website: http://www.sei.pku.edu.cn/conference/icsr2008/
***Submit by December 15, 2007***
TOOL DEMONSTRATIONS
We invite proposals for tool demonstrations on any topics related to
software reuse. Demonstrations will be in an open session to allow
individual interaction with the participants. Submissions should not
exceed two pages in proceedings format. For detailed information,
please access our conference website:
http://www.sei.pku.edu.cn/conference/icsr2008/
