Novel concepts and abstraction mechanisms including aspect-oriented techniques are a focus point for improvements in the support for modularity. The scope of this effort covers all perspectives on software systems in all their life-cycle phases, for instance application domain analysis, programming language constructs, formal proofs of system properties, program state visualization in debuggers, performance improvements in compiler algorithms, etc. As the premier international conference on modularity, Modularity '14 continues to advance our understanding of these issues and the expressive power of known techniques. TOPICS Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: * Varieties of modularity. Context orientation; feature orientation; generative programming; aspect orientation; software product lines; traits; families of classes; meta-programming and reflection; components; view-based development. * Programming languages. Support for modularity related abstraction in: language design; verification, contracts, and static program analysis; compilation, interpretation, and runtime support; formal languages and calculi; execution environments and dynamic weaving; dynamic languages; domain-specific languages. * Software design and engineering. Requirements and domain engineering; architecture; synthesis; evolution; metrics and evaluation; empirical studies of existing software; economics; testing and verification; semantics; composition and interference; traceability; methodologies; patterns. * Tools. Crosscutting views; refactoring; evolution and reverse engineering; aspect mining; support for new language constructs. * Applications. Data-intensive computing; distributed and concurrent systems; middleware; service- oriented computing systems; cyber-physical systems; networking; cloud computing; pervasive computing; runtime verification; computer systems performance; system health monitoring; enforcement of non-functional properties. * Complex systems. Finally, Modularity '14 invites works that explore and establish connections across disciplinary boundaries, bridging to such areas as biology, economics, education, infrastructure such as buildings or transport systems, and more. IMPORTANT DATES * Submission: October 13, 2013 (23:59 Baker Island / UTC-12) * Notification: December 13, 2013 * Camera ready: February 17, 2014 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES For detailed submission guidelines please refer to http://modularity14.inf.usi.ch/rrtrack. ======================================================================== *** MODULARITY VISIONS TRACK *** Modularity properties are key determinants of quality in information systems, software, and system production processes. Modularity influences system diversity, dependability, performance, evolution, the structure and the dynamics of the organizations that produce systems, human understanding and management of systems, and ultimately system value. Yet the nature of and possibilities for modularity, limits to modularity, the mechanisms needed to achieve it in given forms, and its costs and benefits remain poorly understood. Significant advances in modularity thus are possible and promise to yield breakthroughs in our ability to conceive, design, develop, validate, integrate, deploy, operate, and evolve modern information systems and their underlying software artifacts. The Modularity Visions track of Modularity '14 is looking for papers presenting compelling insights into modularity in information systems, including its nature, forms, mechanisms, consequences, limits, costs, and benefits. Modularity Vision papers can also present proposals for future work. The scope of Modularity Visions is broad and open to submissions from all areas of computer science. Modularity Visions papers must supply some degree of validation because mere speculation is not a good basis for progress. However, Modularity Visions accepts less rigorous methods of validation such as compelling arguments, exploratory implementations, and substantial examples. The use of worked-out prototypes to support new ideas is strongly encouraged. IMPORTANT DATES * Abstracts: October 14, 2013 * Papers: October 21, 2013 * First phase notification: December 9, 2013 * Invited revisions: February 3, 2014 * Final notification: February 10, 2014 * Camera ready version: February 17, 2014 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES For detailed submission guidelines please refer to http://modularity14.inf.usi.ch/mvtrack. ======================================================================== *** WORKSHOP PROPOSALS *** Workshops are incubators for research. In contrast to conference technical tracks, where presentations dominate Q&A and interaction, workshops have the potential to foster spontaneous in-depth discussions of emerging research topics in a focused community. For Modularity '14, we invite proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction and close interlocking with the Modularity '14 conference. We encourage proposals on conference-related topics that are novel or of emerging importance. We stress the importance of active and creative workshops that promise to form a collaborative environment of interest to both practitioners and researchers. We encourage workshop proposals that are highly interactive, rather than mini-conferences. Each workshop proposal will be evaluated according to the value and relevance of its topic, the expertise and experience of the workshop organizers, the workshop's potential for attracting participants and generating useful results, and its potential for interaction and spawning further research. To increase workshop visibility, workshop organizers will be invited to give short introductions to the workshops at the beginning of related research track sessions. IMPORTANT DATES * Proposal submission: October 11, 2013 * Notification: October 25, 2013 * Workshop websites up: November 8, 2013 For ACM publishing of proceedings: * Workshop submission: January 26, 2014 * Notification: February 16, 2014 * Camera ready: February 24, 2014 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES For detailed submission guidelines please refer to http://modularity14.inf.usi.ch/workshop-proposals. ======================================================================== *** MORE INFORMATION *** Modularity '14 will also host demonstrations, an ACM Student Research Competition, and a poster session.
