    | Overview |  
    | A new wave of interest has formed around software development approaches that 
modularize different aspects of a system. These aspects can include use cases, 
collaborations, requirements, features, qualities, perspectives, processes, 
implementation structures, etc. 
 This second AOSD conference builds on the first successful conference, which was 
held at the University of Twente in April 2002.
 
 The AOSD 2003 conference invites high quality papers reporting research results 
and/or experience related to aspect-orientation. Research papers should describe 
work that advances the current state of the art. Experience papers should be of 
broad interest and should describe insights gained from practical application of 
aspect technology. The program committee will evaluate each contributed paper 
based on its relevance, significance, clarity and originality.
 |  
    | Topics |  
    | Like object-orientation and other separation-of-concerns technologies, 
aspect-orientation has implications throughout the software lifecycle. Specific 
topics of interests for the conference include, but are not limited to: • Applications
 • Software architectures, product lines
 • Model Driven Architecture, UML
 • Domain engineering and patterns
 • Software development methods
 • Reverse engineering and re-factoring
 • Tools
 • Programming languages and implementation
 • Reflection and meta programming
 • Formal foundations
 • Verification, validation and testing
 • Distributed systems
 • Composition, integration and evolution
 • Evaluation and metrics
