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.

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, position 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 must
conform 

to Springer's LNCS format and must not exceed 10 pages (About 5000 words) in
length, 

in English. For detailed information, please access our conference website: 

http://www.sei.pku.edu.cn/conference/icsr2008/

***Submit by December 20, 2007***

 

WORKSHOPS

 

ICSR 2008 also invites submissions of workshop proposals. The workshops
co-located 

with the conference should provide an opportunity for exchanging views,
advancing 

ideas, and discussing preliminary results on software reuse research and
applications. 

Workshop proposals should not exceed 3 pages, including one page preliminary
call for 

papers, their relevance to the conference, expected number of presenters and


participants, and a brief description of workshop organizers. Proposals for
workshops 

can be sent to Dr. Jianjun Zhao (Email: zhao-jj at cs.sjtu.edu.cn), ICSR 2008
Workshops 

Chair. For detailed information about the workshop proposals delivery,

***Submit by November 10, 2007***

 

TUTORIALS

 

Tutorials are an integral component of the ICSR conferences. They should
offer 

participants the opportunity to explore software reuse topics in depth; to
gain 

new insights, knowledge, and skills; and to learn from some of the leaders
in the 

field. Proposals for tutorials are invited on any theme that is relevant to
the 

software reuse community. However, we are particularly keen to offer
tutorials 

aimed at disseminating the results of research and experience to
practitioners. 

Proposals for tutorials can be sent to Dr. Jeffrey Poulin (Email:
jeffrey.poulin at lmco.com),

DOCTORAL SYMPOSIUM

 

The Doctoral Symposium track is for those who are currently working on or
who have 

recently completed their PhD thesis. The track offers an opportunity to
present 

research problems, solution directions, results obtained thus far, and
research 

plans towards the completion of the PhD studies. The paper should be a 2
page 

summary of your PhD project, and can be sent to Dr. Gregory Kulczycki
(Email: gregwk at vt.edu), 

ICSR 2008 Doctoral Symposium Chair. For detailed information, please access
our 

conference website: http://www.sei.pku.edu.cn/conference/icsr2008/

TOOL DEMONSTRATIONS

 

We invite proposals for tool demonstrations on any topics related to
software reuse. 

Demonstrations will be in an open session to allow individual interaction
with the 

participants. Submissions should not exceed two pages in proceedings format.
Proposals 

for tool demonstrations can be sent to Dr. Jose Luis Barros (Email:
jbarros at uvigo.es),
