============================================================================

 

The Early Aspect Workshop at ICSE 2008 will take place in Leipzig, Germany,
next 12th of May. We hope to have a mainly discussion-based event and it is
open to all (no paper acceptance is needed for attendance). We are very keen
to have people from academia and industry who are interested on Early
Aspects and Software Product Lines to join.

 

IMPORTANT DATES

2nd April: ICSE 2008 early-registration deadline

12th May: Early Aspect Workshop at ICSE 2008

 

INVITED SPEAKER

Daniel E. Berry, Cheriton School of Computer Science, University of
Waterloo, ON, Canada

Title: In Requirements Engineering, Everything is an Aspect

 

PANEL

Jon Whittle (Lancaster University, UK), Jean-Marc Jezequel (IRISA, France),
other panellists to be announced soon

Title: What Early Aspects can do for Software Product Lines?

 

WORKSHOP FORMAT

The workshop will be highly interactive and focused on making a tangible
progress by providing an overview of the current state of the art and
research challenges on early aspects and software product lines. The
presentations of accepted papers will be held in the morning session to seed
the discussions scheduled for the rest of the day. The bulk of the workshop
will be reserved for group work, discussions, and overall conclusions.
Discussion topics will be collected both from the reviewers for each paper,
and from the workshop participants themselves. The participants will work in
small groups, formed based on their specific interests and the previously
identified topics. Last part of the discussion session will be dedicated to
integrating the results of the group discussions into the overall workshop
results.

WORKSHOP OVERVIEW

Early aspects are crosscutting concerns that exist in requirements analysis,
domain analysis and architecture design activities of software lifecycle.
Work on early aspects focuses on systematically identifying, modularizing,
and analyzing such crosscutting concerns and their impact at these early
phases of the software development. One very promising application of early
aspects is in the capture and representation of variability across a product
family, as was shown in the previous EA-SPLC'05 AND EA-AOSD’08 workshops.
This new workshop on the application of aspects throughout the life cycle to
product line development will build on the success of the series of other EA
workshops. The general aim of this workshop is to facilitate
cross-fertilization of ideas in product line practice, requirements
engineering, domain engineering, software architecture design, and
aspect-oriented software development in order to identify the problems and
potential solutions and continue the maturation of Early Aspects as a
discipline. The specific aim of this workshop is to stimulate integration of
the work on early development activities for product lines with the work for
Early Aspects.
