CALL FOR PAPERS

Session: Components, Architectures and Configurable Systems

Conference: 6th World Conference on Integrated Design & Process Technology,
Organized by SDPS and cosponsored by NASA

Dear colleague,

The 6th World Conference on Integrated Design & Process Technology (IDPT 2002) will be held in
Pasadena (California), June 23 - 28, 2002

This conference organized by the Society for Design and Process Science (SDPS) traditionally covers a multitude of topics on integrated design and process technology in software development as well as other areas of engineering. IDPT is an exceptional conference bringing together diverse communities from Computer Science and a number of Engineering disciplines.

The IDPT 2002 conference will be chaired by Bernd Kraemer (Germany) and John C. Peterson (CA, USA). Hartmut Ehrig (Germany) and Atila Ertas (TX, USA) are the conference Program Chairs. 

Within this conference we are organizing a session, titled "Components, Architectures and Configurable Systems." The session details are as follow:

Session: Components, Architectures and Configurable Systems

Abstract

Software systems have to fulfill highly volatile requirements, and they have to adapt quickly to the ever-changing demands of markets, users and evlolving technology. Reusable software artifacts as components and frameworks provide the required flexibility and could serve as the building blocks of such systems. During evolution and customization for reuse, systems are affected by changes arising from new functional and non-functional requirements, new deployment strategies, and new versions of third party products and computing environments. Due to those changes, the architecture of both components and systems may erode resulting in increased complexity and in reduced maintainability. As a consequence, software development productivity decreases and the time-to-market is increased. New reusability and component-based approaches rely on novel requirements engineering, analysis and design methods as well as on design heuristics and architectural patterns to enable the effective development of flexible software systems.

The special topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Component-based software development
- Software architectures
- Architectural Patterns
- Domain engineering and product lines
- Integration of software reusability and requirements engineering
- Modeling and design approaches supporting Separation of Concerns
- Configuration and traceability
- Iterative and evolutionary development processes

In order to stimulate cross-disciplinary work, papers combining concepts from more than one area are encouraged.


Please consider submitting a contribution and/or participating in this outstanding interdisciplinary conference. If you know a colleague who might be interested in attending or submitting a paper, please distribute this information.
