OVERVIEW 

As AOSD is getting used in real-world applications, it becomes important
to document the best practices that have repeatedly proven to work in
practice. A first workshop on best practices in AO was held at AOSD'06
which had the goal to mine best practices in using, building, extending,
or integrating AOSD technologies. Based on this experience, we want to
go one step further for AOSD'07 and collect patterns and pattern
candidates. 

The goal is to start documenting aspect-oriented patterns. 

Patterns and pattern languages like 
http://www.voelter.de/data/pub/ModelsAndAspects.pdf and
http://www.infosys.tuwien.ac.at/Staff/zdun/publications/iee-use04.pdf 
can serve as inspiration for potential participants and starting point
for reaching the workshop goals. 

For this second workshop on the best practices in applying AOSD we
solicit workshop submissions in one of the following four categories:


- Patterns and pattern candidates for implementing systems with AOSD 
  techniques 

- Patterns and pattern candidates  for building or extending AOSD 
  infrastructures 

- Patterns and pattern candidates for using AOSD in conjunction with
other 
  concepts and technologies, such as model-driven architecture,
model-driven 
  software  engineering, product lines architectures, service-oriented 
  architectures, component infrastructures, middleware, etc. 

- Real-world application examples from which patterns can be mined 


WORKSHOP FORMAT 
The workshop is planed as a full day event. The workshop will aim to
foster discussion and interaction rather than elaborate presentations. 

After a short introduction by the organizers, all participants will be
given  a chance to briefly introduce their position or their case
studies to provide triggers for discussion in the second part of the
workshop by stating a controversial point of view, or by introducing a
new point of view. 

In the afternoon, we will foster an open discussion using the "Open
Space" technique. To give all workshop attendees sufficient
opportunities for active participation, the discussion will take place
in two to three groups in parallel. Each group will present their
results to the larger audience before the closing discussion.

If we have suitably mature submissions of patterns or pattern candidates
we will also run writer's workshops to improve the patterns in the
afternoon. 

PARTICIPATION 

Every interested person is invited to apply for attendance by sending a
position paper to the organizers. The submission should be one to two
pages for position papers or up to 6 pages for full papers. Please
provide your papers in PDF format. 

Submissions will be reviewed by the organizers. 
The authors will be notified about acceptance before the early
registration deadline.
