--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for papers First Workshop on SHAring and Reusing architectural Knowledge (SHARK'2006) June 11, 2006, Torino (Italy) http://www.cs.rug.nl/~paris/SHARK2006
Hosted at the 9th International Conference on Software Reuse ICSR 2006 - http://softeng.polito.it/ICSR9 June 11-15, 2006, Torino (Italy) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Workshop on SHAring and Reusing architectural Knowledge ------------------------------------------------------- Software architecture plays an increasingly important role to manage the complex interactions and dependencies between the stakeholders and to provide a central artifact that can be used for reference by them. It also supports early analysis of the system, especially with respect to quality attributes and successful evolution of the system. Existing approaches on software architecting typically focus on components and connectors and fail to document the design decisions that resulted in the architecture as well as the organizational, process and business rationale underlying the design decisions. This results in high maintenance cost, high degrees of design erosion and lack of information and documentation of relevant architectural knowledge. This workshop focuses on current approaches, tackling this problem: methods, languages, notations, tools to extract, represent, share, use and re-use architectural knowledge. Architectural Knowledge (AK) is defined as the integrated representation of the software architecture of a software-intensive system (or a family of systems), the architectural design decisions and their rationale, and the influences of the external context/environment. This workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners that are interested in sharing and reusing architectural knowledge. Attendance will be limited to a maximum of 30 participants. Topics of the workshop include but are not limited to: - Notations to model architectural knowledge - Ontologies, domain models and meta-models for architectural knowledge - Communicating, sharing and using architectural knowledge - Case studies for sharing and reusing architectural knowledge - Tools to extract, represent, share or use architectural knowledge - Knowledge grids for sharing architectural knowledge - Methods and tools to master the evolution of architectural knowledge - Software patterns as a form of architectural knowledge - Sharing architectural knowledge in the context of service-oriented architectures (SOA) or Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) - Communicating architectural knowledge in open, inner and private communities - Traceability between requirements, architectural design decisions and architectural models Workshop Organizers: -------------------- Patricia Lago Department of Computer Science, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam Software Engineering Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cs.vu.nl/~patricia/ Paris Avgeriou Department of Mathematics and Computing Science, University of Groningen Software Engineering and Architecture (SEARCH) Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cs.rug.nl/~paris/ Program committee ----------------- Jan Bosch, Nokia Research Center, Finland Rafael Capilla, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Spain Torgeir Dingsoyr, Sintef, Trondheim, Norway Dieter Hammer, University of Groningen, The Netherlands Philippe Kruchten, University of British Columbia, Canada Paola Inverardi, University of L'Aquila, Italy Antony Tang, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia Hans van Vliet, Vrije Universiteit, The Netherlands Uwe Zdun, Vienna University of Economics, Austria Guidelines for Submission --------------------------- Papers in three distinct categories are solicited: future trend papers describing ongoing research, new results, and future trends (maximum 5 pages); research papers describing the state-of-the art in the field (maximum 10 pages); industrial papers describing industrial experience, case studies, challenges, problems and solutions (maximum 10 pages).
