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

Submission Guidelines

The submission process has now simplified. You don't have to submit an abstract one-week before the paper deadline.

Submissions should consist of two separate parts: information about the submission and the paper.

Information
This part should contain the following information submitted as plain ASCII text:
  • Title: The title of your submission. To ease automatic production, please only use capitals at the first position of the main words of the title. Don't type ALL CAPITALIZED words.

  • Email: The email address of the person that we can contact.

  • Abstract: Must not be longer than 300 words.

  • Keywords: If appropriate, please use the topics announced in the call for papers. You may use additional keywords if needed.

  • Remarks: Use this field if you have any further remarks about your submission that you would like to communicate.

Paper
This is the file that contains all parts of your paper and must be formatted in pdf. The formatting guidelines can be found at:
