CALL FOR PAPERS
SINTER 2009: workshop on Software INTegration and Evolution @ Runtime Amsterdam, August 25, 2009 http://swerl.tudelft.nl/bin/view/Sinter Satellite workshop of the 7th joint meeting of the European Software Engineering Conference (ESEC), and the ACM SIGSOFT Symposium on the Foundations of Software Engineering (FSE), August 24-28 2009 Amsterdam, The Netherlands WORKSHOP THEME Modern ICT solutions are often highly distributed and dynamic systems-of-systems (SoS). They provide critical backbone infrastructure for organizations, and are, therefore, increasingly subjected to stringent availability and dependability requirements. Availability implies that SoS must be reconfigured, updated, and otherwise maintained during runtime while retaining their overall operational integrity. This requires that much of the adaptation, integration, configuration, and testing activities typically performed offline during development time, now have to be done on-line, during runtime. Current component-based runtime platforms such as Service Oriented Architectures, realize the technological foundations for runtime reconfiguration and evolution. However, software engineering methodology has not kept pace with the rapid leap forward in platform technology, so that adequate methods, techniques, and tools for managing runtime integration and evolution are not yet available. Such methodology comprises component adaptation, reconfiguration, integration and acceptance testing, health monitoring, fault diagnosis, and reliability assessment for the running system. This workshop is intended to discuss and address the challenges and pitfalls that are raised through runtime integration and evolution and associated methods, techniques, and tools, required to build and maintain highly distributed, dynamic, and adaptable ICT infrastructures. SCOPE The goal of this workshop is to bring researchers from academia and practitioners from industry together, who are interested in the domain of runtime software integration and evolution. Papers in the following topics are solicited for this workshop: * Runtime Software/Component Adaptation and Updating * Runtime Software/Component Replacement and Reconfiguration * Runtime/Built-in Component Integration and Acceptance Testing * Runtime Software/System Debugging * Runtime Software/System Fault Diagnosis and Health Monitoring * Runtime Software/System Reliability Engineering * Runtime Software/System Security Engineering * Tool support for Runtime Integration and Evolution * Middleware support (SOA, Component Platforms, Publish/Subscribe, etc.) for Runtime Integration and Evolution * Methods, techniques, tools, and middleware support for Runtime Integration and Evolution * Case studies from industry where Runtime Integration and Evolution is relevant * Problem statements from industry on the aforementioned topics Emphasis is on performing all these integration and evolution techniques during runtime. Submissions must clearly motivate why the techniques proposed can only be applied during runtime. TYPES OF CONTRIBUTION Three types of papers are solicited * Long paper: 8 page (max) papers presenting ongoing research on the topics of interest * Short paper: 4 page (max) position paper presenting preliminary work, or demonstrations of tools and platform support for runtime integration and evolution * Industry Challenges paper: 4 page (max) problem statement from the relevant domains; at least one author should have an affiliation with industry All contributions will be published with copyright in the ACM Digital Library. The content of the contributions must be original. Any portion of the contribution submitted to this workshop must not have been previously published or accepted for publication, nor can it be under consideration for publication elsewhere during the review period. Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format in the ESEC/FSE proceedings format (ACM format), without any author names or affiliations, using the Easychair submission system. Papers will be blind-reviewed by at least three members of the international program committee. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper has to register and present the paper at the workshop. IMPORTANT DATES * Paper submission deadline: May 22nd, 2009 * Notification of acceptance: June 19th, 2009 * Camera ready deadline: June 26th, 2009 * Workshop date: August 25th, 2009 CONTACT * http://swerl.tudelft.nl/bin/view/Sinter WORKSHOP CHAIRS * Hans-Gerhard Gross, Delft University of Technology * Jan Tretmans, Embedded Systems Institute/Radboud University Nijmegen * Marco Lormans, Logica PROGRAM COMMITTEE * Colin Atkinson, University of Mannheim * Franck Barbier, University of Pau * Michael Borth, Embedded Systems Institute * Jean-Michel Bruel, University of Toulouse * Christian Bunse, International University of Germany * Michel Chaudron, University of Leiden * Arjan van Gemund, Delft University of Technology * Maurice Glandrup, Thales Netherlands * Hans-Gerhard Gross, Delft University of Technology * Jozef Hooman, Embedded Systems Institute/Radboud University Nijmegen * Marco Lormans, Logica * Arjan Mooij, Eindhoven University of Technology * Rob van Ommering, Philips Research * Jan Tretmans, Embedded Systems Institute/Radboud University Nijmegen * Eric Piel, Delft University of Technology * Marc Voorhoeve, Eindhoven University of Technology ======================================================================= _______________________________________________ clean-list mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.science.ru.nl/mailman/listinfo/clean-list
