Software Composition 2008

7th International Symposium on Software Composition (SC2008)
29-30 March, 2008 - Budapest, Hungary

http://www.software-composition.org/



-- CALL FOR PARTICIPATION --


The goal of SC 2008 is to bring together the research and industrial communities
for addressing the challenges of component based software development. SC 2008
will be the seventh symposium on software composition in the series that seeks
to develop a better understanding of how composition of software components may
be used to build and maintain large software systems. Therefore, submissions
relating theory and practice of software composition are particularly welcome.

Proceedings will be published in the Springer LNCS volume 4954.


Topics of Interest 

* Composition and adaptation techniques
* Composition languages, calculi and type systems
* Aspect-oriented programming
* Semantics-based composition and analysis of component systems
* Verification, validation and testing techniques
* Dynamic composition and reconfiguration
* Composition issues in industrial-strength component systems and frameworks
* Composition aspects of service-oriented architectures
* Software composition in pervasive computing environments
* Mashups – software composition for the Web
* Visual composition environments and tools
* Model-driven composition
* Business process orchestration
* Performance optimization of composite systems
