Call for Research Papers

CyberChair submission is now closed. Thank you for all of your submissions.

The International Conference on Aspect-Oriented Software Development (AOSD) is the premier conference on software modularity that crosscuts traditional abstraction boundaries. AOSD brings together researchers and practitioners working in the fields of software engineering, programming languages, and software systems. AOSD welcomes cutting-edge research papers in all of these disciplines, ranging from foundational studies to industrial experience reports. Papers that present elegant, instructive examples of aspect-oriented programs are also welcome. Topics of interest include all facets of aspect-oriented software development, including (but not limited to) the following:

Submission Guidelines

Submissions will be carried out electronically via the Web to our CyberChair site. Papers must be submitted in either PDF format or as PostScript documents that are interpretable by Ghostscript. They must be printable on US Letter sized paper.

Due date and time

The submission deadline, length limitations and formatting instructions are firm: any submissions that deviate from these will be rejected by the research program chair. Submitted papers must adhere to SIGPLAN’s republication policy. Each paper should explain its contributions in both general and technical terms, clearly identifying what has been accomplished, explaining why it is significant, and comparing it with previous work. Where appropriate, systems and experimental data should be made available on the web. Authors should strive to make the technical content of their papers understandable to a broad audience.

Author response period

Authors will be given a 48-hour period (starting Monday, 20 November 2006, 00:01 Samoan) to read and respond to the reviews for their papers before the PC meeting.
