- Application deadline: January 27th, 2003
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.
Please note that Monday and Tuesday lunch can be purchased for $20/day on the
registration page. The Monday
and Tuesday tutorial days will break down the following way:
09:00 - 10:30 session

ACP4IS: Aspects, Components,
and Patterns for Infrastructure Software |
Date: Monday 17 March
Organisers:
- Eric Eide, University of Utah (eeide@cs.utah.edu)
- Yvonne Coady, University of British Columbia
- David H. Lorenz, Northeastern University
Aspect-oriented programming, component models, and design patterns are modern
and actively evolving techniques for improving the modularization of complex
software. In particular, these techniques hold great promise for the development
of ``systems infrastructure'' software, e.g., application servers, middleware,
virtual machines, compilers, operating systems, and other software that provides
general services for higher-level applications. The developers of infrastructure
software are faced with increasing demands from application programmers needing
higher-level support for application development. Meeting these demands requires
careful use of software modularization techniques, since infrastructural
concerns are notoriously hard to modularize.
Building on the ACP4IS meeting at AOSD 2002, this workshop aims to provide a
highly interactive forum for researchers and developers to discuss the
application of and relationships between aspects, components, and patterns
within modern infrastructure software. The goal is to put aspects, components,
and patterns into a common reference frame and to build connections between the
software engineering and systems communities.

AOM: Aspect-Oriented
Modeling with UML |
Date: Tuesday 18 March
Organisers:
- Omar Aldawud, Lucent Technologies (oaldawud@lucent.com)
- Mohamed Kande, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne
- Grady Booch, Rational
- Bill Harrison, IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center
- Dominik Stein, University of Essen
Many concerns pertaining to software development have a crosscutting impact on a
system. Using current technologies, such kinds of concerns are difficult to
identify, understand, and modularize at design and implementation time, as they
cut across the boundaries of many components of a system. Crosscutting concerns
typically include design constraints and features, as well as architectural
qualities and system-level properties or behaviors, such as transactions,
logging and error recovery, etc.
Aspect-oriented software development (AOSD) is an emerging technology promoting
advanced separation of concerns in software engineering. AOSD techniques allow
one to modularize crosscutting concerns into separate "aspects" of a system and
integrate those aspects with other kinds of modules throughout the software
development lifecycle. Aspect-oriented modeling is a critical part of AOSD that
focuses on techniques for identifying, analyzing, managing and representing
crosscutting concerns in software design and architecture, while filling the gap
between aspect-oriented requirements engineering and aspect-oriented
programming.
This workshop is dedicated to the definition of aspect-oriented modeling
techniques, methods and tools based on UML. Suggested issues are: How can we
apply UML artifacts to AOSD? Are the existing notations and modeling techniques
of UML sufficient to model aspects, or do we need to extend UML to support AOSD?
Is UML the appropriate modeling language on which to base modeling for AOSD? Is
UML capable of expressing "Core" components and "Aspectual" components as well
as associations linking them together? If we have to extend the UML, are the
extension mechanisms provided by UML adequate? What could then be a UML profile
for AOSD? Or would it be possible to rely only on a restricted subset of the UML
for AOSD? What would this subset be?

COMM:
Commercialization of AOSD Technology |
Date: Tuesday 18 March
Organizers:
- Ron Bodkin, New Aspects (rbodkin@newaspects.com)
- Adrian M Colyer, IBM UK
- Juri Memmert
- Arno Schmidmeier, Sirius Software GmbH
This workshop will address the development of commercially successful
Aspect-Oriented Software Development technology. Topics of interest include
value propositions, requirements for adoption (technical, organizational,
standards), business cases, business models, strategies, industry lessons,
selling, likely customers, and communication mechanisms. The goal is to bring
together practitioners, users, consultants, and vendors to discuss the
opportunities and challenges in delivering commercial solutions using AOSD.
These discussions are intended to improve market opportunities and increase the
scale and number of deployments of AOSD. This workshop will also start a
conversation about mechanisms for cross-industry discussion and common
initiatives to support market awareness and support for AOSD.
The workshop format will consist of structured discussions about topics drawn
from position papers. A warm-up discussion will draw together various threads,
discuss open issues, and reach conclusions.

Early Aspects 2003:
Aspect-Oriented Requirements Engineering and Architecture Design |
Date: Monday 17 March
Organizers:
- Joćo Araśjo, Universidade Nova de Lisboa
(ja@di.fct.unl.pt)
- Awais Rashid, Lancaster University
- Bedir Tekinerdogan, Bilkent University
- Ana Moreira, Universidade Nova de Lisboa
- Paul Clements, Software Engineering Institute
This workshop aims to support the cross-fertilization of ideas in requirements
engineering, software architecture design and aspect-oriented software
development. From a requirements engineering and architecture design
perspective, aspects will improve and broaden the understanding of the
identification and management of requirements and architecture level concerns.
From an aspect-orientation perspective the workshop will provide attendees with
a forum for discussing issues that can lead to a better understanding of how
aspects can be used to support systematic and rigorous development of software
from the very early stages.
The workshop will focus on challenges to defining methodical software
development processes for aspects from early on in the software life cycle and
explore the potential of proposed methods and techniques to scale up to
industrial applications.

FOAL:
Foundations of Aspect-Oriented Languages |
Date: Monday 17 March
Organizers:
- Gary T. Leavens, Iowa State University
(leavens@cs.iastate.edu)
- Curtis Clifton, Iowa State University
FOAL is a forum for research in foundations of aspect-oriented programming
languages. Areas of interest include but are not limited to: semantics of
aspect-oriented languages, specification and verification or such languages,
type systems, static analysis, theory of testing, theory of aspect composition,
theory of aspect translation (compilation) and rewriting, and applications of
such theories in practice (such as language design studies). The workshop aims
to foster work in foundations, including formal studies, promote the exchange of
ideas, and encourage workers in the semantics and formal methods communities to
do research in the area of aspect-oriented programming languages.

SPLAT: Software engineering
Properties of Languages for Aspect Technologies |
Date: Tuesday 18 March
Organizers:
- Lodewijk Bergmans, University of Twente
(lbergmans@acm.org)
- Johan Brichau, Vrije Universiteit Brussel
- Peri Tarr, IBM TJ Watson Research Center
- Erik Ernst, University of Aarhus
This workshop will advance the field of AOSD language design by emphasizing the
need to understand the practical consequences of design decisions on the
software engineering properties of aspect-oriented software. In particular, it
will help language designers understand and evaluate the tradeoffs entailed by
aspect language features, and address the need for consistent language design
with respect to composability of
language constructs and features.
