7th International Symposium on Software Composition (SC2008)
29-30 March, 2008 - Budapest, Hungary

Submission Deadline: 1. November 2007


-- CALL FOR PAPERS --


The goal of SC 2008 is to bring together the research and industrial  
communities
for addressing the challenges of component based software  
development. SC 2008 will be the seventh symposium on software  
composition in the series that seeks to develop a better  
understanding of how composition of software components may be used  
to build and maintain large software systems. Therefore, submissions  
relating theory and practice of software composition are particularly  
welcome.


Topics of Interest

The SC 2008 program committee seeks original, high quality papers  
related to
Software Composition, such as but not limited to the following:

* Composition and adaptation techniques
* Composition languages, calculi and type systems
* Aspect-oriented programming
* Semantics-based composition and analysis of component systems
* Verification, validation and testing techniques
* Dynamic composition and reconfiguration
* Composition issues in industrial-strength component systems and
frameworks
* Composition aspects of service-oriented architectures
* Software composition in pervasive computing environments
* Mashups – software composition for the Web
* Visual composition environments and tools
* Model-driven composition
* Business process orchestration
* Performance optimization of composite systems


Symposium Format and Proceedings

We solicit two categories of high-quality submissions on research  
results and/or
experience: long papers (12-16 pages, LNCS format, including  
bibliography and figures) describing a technical contribution in  
depth and short papers (6-8 pages, LNCS format) concisely capturing  
ongoing work, new ideas, and experiences.

Submitted papers will be judged on the basis of significance,  
relevance, correctness, originality, and clarity. Submitted papers  
must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere.

As in previous years, the proceedings of the symposium will be  
published as a
volume in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Authors of  
accepted
papers should provide all the electronic files of the final version  
of their
paper according to the instructions provided at Springer’s LNCS home  
page
(www.springer.com/lncs).
