The International Conference on Aspect-Oriented Software Development  
(AOSD) is the premier conference on software modularity that  
crosscuts traditional abstraction boundaries. AOSD brings together  
researchers and practitioners working on such software modularity in  
the fields of software engineering, programming languages, and  
software systems.  AOSD welcomes cutting-edge research papers in all  
of these disciplines, ranging from foundational studies to industrial  
experience reports.

Continuing the tradition of its successful predecessors, the program  
of AOSD.08 will include:
   - A Research Track presenting the newest research results.
   - An Industry Track where architects and developers with experience
     in aspects gather to learn and teach.
   - Workshops for in-depth discussion of advanced topics in industry
     and research.
   - A coordinated educational program to provide foundations for  
research
     in the field.
   - Demonstrations of leading-edge technologies.
   - Panels that stimulate thoughtful discussion of controversial  
topics.
   - Birds of a Feather sessions.
   - A highly interactive Student Extravaganza.
   - A range of social activities encouraging informal discussion  
among peers

More information on these tracks and guidelines for submission can be  
found on the conference website: http://www.aosd.net/2008/

Submissions will be carried out electronically via CyberChair. Papers  
must be submitted in either PDF format or as PostScript documents  
that are interpretable by Ghostscript. Submissions should be no more  
than 12 pages (including bibliography and any appendices) in standard  
ACM SIGPLAN conference format:
http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigplan/authorInformation.htm

The submission deadline, length limitations and formatting  
instructions are firm: any submissions that deviate from these will  
be rejected by the research program chair. Submitted papers must  
adhere to SIGPLAN’s republication policy. Each paper should explain  
its contributions in both general and technical terms, clearly  
identifying what has been accomplished, explaining why it is  
significant, and comparing it with previous work. Where appropriate,  
systems and experimental data should be made available on the web.  
Authors should strive to make the technical content of their papers  
understandable to a broad audience.

The Research Program Chair is Mira Mezini (Technische Universität  
Darmstadt). Prospective authors are welcome to direct any queries  
about the research program to the chair at research at aosd.net

General information about the research, workshop, tutorial, demo and  
industry tracks is available at the conference website: http://
