Overview |
Workshops provide a highly interactive and collaborative setting where people
can combine forces to identify, exchange, plan and elaborate emerging ideas,
high-quality research, cutting-edge practices and other efforts. The successful
workshops at last years conference and the numerous past workshops at prominent
international conferences show that this productive and collaborative climate is
a hallmark of Aspect-Oriented Software Development. For AOSD 2003, we again
invite proposals for one-day workshops on well-defined and focused topics that
deal with emerging challenges and innovative approaches in AOSD. The workshops
are to be scheduled on March 17 and 18, the two days prior to the main
conference.
For the selection of the most promising workshops, the relevance of the proposed
workshop topic will be considered as well as its potential for attracting
participants and generating useful results. A workshop should be proposed by at
least two organizers from different institutions, and their past experiences and
abilities in organizing workshops will be taken into account. We would like to
stress the importance of active and creative workshops that strive to foster a
collaborative environment of interest to both practitioners and researchers. |
