[aosd-announce] CFP: " Applicability of Novel Software Engineering Techniques for Evolvable Systems " (June 27, 2008)

[Hasan Sozer]

In the series on Quality-Oriented Software Engineering (QOSE),
the TRESE group at the University of Twente presents a seminar on:

Applicability of Novel Software Engineering Techniques for Evolvable Systems
--How innovations such as aspect orientation are tested in practice

Friday June 27, 2008
Drienerburght, University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands

Context:
Todays software systems are increasingly large and complex. At the same 
time, there is an increasing pressure to quickly adapt the software to 
changing contexts and new requirements. These factors require professional 
software engineers with a toolbox of the most effective software engineering 
techniques. Software engineering research offers such techniques, but it is 
often questioned whether the proposed research actually works well in 
practice.

Aspect-Oriented Software Development (AOSD) aims at improving the 
evolvability of software by modularizing cross-cutting concerns (in other 
words: modularizing behavior that is typically spread over the design of the 
system). AOSD has been shown to solve such modularization problems, but 
there is only limited published experience in an industrial context. Prior 
to the main program, a short tutorial will introduce the essential concepts 
and motivations for AOSD.

Goal:
In this seminar, a number of international experts will provide insight in 
how they involve industry and practitioners to influence and test new 
software engineering techniques, in particular aspect-oriented techiques. 
The day starts with an optional tutorial on AOSD, and concludes with a panel 
that will focus on addressing the questions from the attendees.

Audience:
This seminar aims at software professionals and decision makers who want to 
learn about state-of-the-art software engineering techniques such as 
aspect-orientation and how these have been (or could be) tested or applied 
in practice, and what the corresponding conclusions were. In addition, this 
seminar will offer researchers insight in how aspect-orientation, and 
software engineering research innovations in general can be tested and 
applied in practice.
