Workshops

AOSD 2008 has an exciting workshop program where people can get together to identify, exchange, plan and elaborate emerging ideas, high-quality research and cutting-edge practices. This year's workshops span a wide range of AOSD-related topics: from early to late parts of the development cycle, static and dynamic aspect structures, from virtual-machines and infrastructure to domain-specific languages, from architecture and modeling to verification and testing, and from theory to assessment, exploring many areas of software engineering properties, practices, and patterns.

If you have questions about the workshops, please contact either the workshop organizers listed below or the AOSD.08 Workshop Chair at workshops @ aosd.net.

ACP4IS:"Aspects, Components, and Patterns for Infrastructure Software"

ACP4IS provides a highly interactive forum for researchers and developers to discuss the application of and relationships between aspects, components, and patterns within modern "systems infrastructure" software: e.g., application servers, middleware, virtual machines, compilers, operating systems, embedded systems, web services and other software that provides general services for higher-level applications.

Deadline: Jan.25th, 2008

Organizers:

AOM: "Aspect-Oriented Modeling (Twelfth Edition)"

AOM brings together researchers and practitioners from two communities, aspect-oriented software development (AOSD) and software model engineering. This workshop provides a forum for presenting new ideas and discussing the state of research and practice in modeling various kinds of crosscutting concerns at different levels of abstraction.

Deadline: Jan.11th, 2008

Organizers:

Omar Aldawud
Walter Cazzola
Tzilla Elrad, Jeff Gray
Jörg Kienzle
Dominik Stein

DSAL: "Third Workshop on Domain-Specific Aspect Languages"

DSAL is dedicated to the exploration of the area of domain-specific aspect languages, including language design, enabling technologies and composition issues.

Deadline: Jan.25th, 2008

Organizers:

Thomas Cleenewerck
Johan Fabry
Anne-Françoise Le Meur
Jacques Noyé
Éric Tanter

EA: "Early Aspects Workshop"

EA is the latest in a series of workshops investigating aspects during early lifecycle phases, including requirements and architecture. The theme of this particular workshop is on the integration of Early Aspect techniques with software product line methods. Paper submissions on broader issues related to early aspects are also welcome.

Deadline: Jan.18th, 2008

Organizers:

Jon Whittle
Gunter Mussbacher

FOAL: "Foundations Of Aspect-Oriented Languages"

FOAL 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.

Deadline: Jan.11th, 2008

Organizers:

Gary T. Leavens
Curtis Clifton
Mira Mezini
Shmuel Katz

LATE: "Linking Aspect Technology and Evolution"

LATE aims to investigate this claim and explore the relationship between software evolution and AOSD. In particular, the workshop's objective is to study the impact of AOSD on software evolution on the one hand, and the impact of software evolution on AOSD on the other hand.

Deadline: Jan.25th, 2008

Organizers:

Andy Kellens
Marius Marin

NAOMI: "NAOMI Workshop on Next-generation Aspect-Oriented Middleware"

The goal of NAOMI is to bring together and extend the AOSD and middleware research communities. This hybrid AO-middleware community is a cross-fertilization of 1) the AOSD community which has a plethora of promising technologies for further research on middleware development and middleware application composition. In addition to 2) the middleware community which has challenging applications for the validation and enhancement of AO-technologies.

Deadline: Jan.25th, 2008

SPLAT: "Software Engineering Properties of Languages and Aspect Technologies"

This workshop will thus explore issues in designing AOSD languages and systems that promote good software engineering properties. The workshop aims to identify some hard and deep issues and tradeoffs in achieving particular properties in AOSD languages and systems, to make these issues and tradeoffs explicit, and to try to characterize each conflict and, to the extent possible, describe useful solutions.

VMIL: "Virtual Machines and Intermediate Languages for emerging modularization mechanisms"

VMIL is a forum for research in virtual machines and intermediate languages for emerging modularization mechanisms such as mix-ins, units, open classes, hyper-slices, adaptive methods, roles, composition filters, pointcut-advice, and intertype declarations.
