Background

Component-based Software Engineering (CBSE) is concerned with the development of systems from reusable parts (components), the development of reusable parts, and system maintenance and improvement by means of components replacement or customization. Although very promising, CBSE still shows weaknesses in many aspects: lack of methodologies and theoretical models, undefined processes, insufficient tool support, lack of experience reports, etc.There are many challenges facing both researchers and practitioners in establishing CBSE as an efficient and proven engineering discipline.

The goal of this  workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners to share experience and research results, both of works in progress and practical experience, on any topic relevant to building systems from components. Systems attributes in relation to component attributes and the composition process are the primary subjects of the workshop.

Topics of Interest

Suggested areas of interest include, but are not restricted to:

    Software architecture as related to CBSE

    Analysis/design methods for building component-based systems

    Selection/evaluation criteria for components and assemblies of components

    Predictability of component compositions 

    Configuration management of components and component compositions

    Verification of systems based on component attributes

Workshop Agenda

The workshop will begin with a statement defining the goals and objectives of the workshop, followed by a presentation by a guest speaker of an experience report from industry on using a component-based approach to system development. The workshop will continue as a combination of presentations of the most interesting and relevant papers and resultant discussions. The workshop will be focused on the discussions pertaining to topics addressed by the highest percentage of accepted papers. Depending on the papers received, four to five sessions in sequence, related to the topics specified above, will be arranged.The papers accepted will be published at a web site, and a final report on the workshop will be submitted to a journal such as Software Engineering Notes.

Participating in the workshop

Participation is based on the acceptance of submitted position papers.Position papers will be judged with respect to their relevance to the goals and objectives of the workshop and invitations will be sent to authors of approximately 20 of the most relevant papers.

All papers must follow IEEE Proceedings Manuscripts formatting standards http://computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm, and should be no more than 4 pages in length. 

Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format, to Ivica Crnkovic: ivica.crnkovic@mdh.se

Important Dates

Final date for submission of position papers:February 1, 2002

Notification of acceptance: March 1, 2002
