ICSR is the
premier international conference in the field of
software reuse. The main goal of ICSR is to present
the advances and improvements within the software
reuse domain, as well as to promote interaction
between researchers and practitioners. The 10th
International Conference on Software Reuse (ICSR
2008) will be held on May 25-29, 2008 in Beijing,
China. We invite Research Papers, Workshop
Proposals, Tutorial Proposals, Symposium
Descriptions and Tool Demonstrations to be presented
and discussed in the conference.
The theme of this year is “High Confidence Software
Reuse in Large Systems”. A high confidence system is
one that behaves in a well-understood and
predictable fashion. It must withstand malicious
attacks as well as naturally occurring hazards, and
must not cause or contribute to accidents or
unacceptable losses. Achieving high confidence is
becoming more difficult as systems become more
complex, especially in large software systems.
Today’s trends towards widespread use of commercial
off-the-shelf (COTS) technology, increased
integration, continuous evolution, and larger scale
are yielding more complex software systems. So, the
problem of how to build high confidence complex
systems and how to reuse software with a high level
of confidence become new attractive problems for
research.
On the other hand, high level software asset reuse
has been a goal for the last twenty to thirty years,
and it can still be considered an unsolved question.
Components Based Development, MDA-MDE-MDD, Extreme
Programming, and other techniques or methods are
promising approaches to software reuse that still
need more research.
ICSR 2008 in Beijing will address these new
scenarios and their major challenges. We invite
authors to submit articles that present results,
positioning papers or experiences relevant to
software reuse. The suggested topics for paper
submissions include, but are not limited to:
* High
Confidence Software Reuse Methods
* Confidence Ensuring and Evaluating Methods
* Best Practice of Software Reuse in Very Large
Systems
* Architecture Based Software Reuse
* Reuse in Service-oriented Environment
* Reuse of Service-oriented/SOA Systems
* Reliability and security of OTS components and
legal issues
* Documentation of OTS component
* Processes to identify and select OTS
components
* Software integration and evolution problems
* Interaction with the developer community, or
with the vendor
* Software variability management
* Aspect-oriented software reuse
* Software generators and domain-specific
languages
* Software product lines, software product
families, and domain engineering
* Component-based software engineering
* Application of MDD
* Asset search and retrieval techniques
* Evolution of component-based software systems
* Lightweight approaches to software reuse
* Managing the transition towards a reuse
organization
* Legal, managerial, and economic issues of
software development with reuse
* Benefit and risk analysis of reuse investments
* Reuse in the e-commerce context: how to
address fast-evolving markets
* Generation of non-code artifacts
* Testing of components and generators
* Quality aspects of reuse, e.g. security and
reliability
* Success and failure stories of reuse
approaches from industrial context
RESEARCH PAPERS
Research papers should describe original and
significant work in the research and practice of software reuse.
Case studies, empirical research, and experiments are particularly
welcome. We also welcome papers that present leading edge and novel
ideas in software reuse. The proceedings of the conference will be
published by Springer in its Lecture Notes in
Computer Science series. Submissions should conform to Springer's
Lecture
Notes in Computer Science format, and
are limited to 5000 words in length,
in English. The authors of accepted papers are advised to follow the
Springer guidelines in the preparation of the camera ready copy.
