The 5th AOSD Workshop on Aspects, Components, and Patterns for Infrastructure Software (ACP4IS)

A one-day workshop at AOSD.06, the Fifth International Conference on Aspect-Oriented Software Development, March 21, Bonn, Germany, 2006

Aspect-oriented programming, component models, and design patterns are modern and actively evolving techniques for improving the modularization of complex software. In particular, these techniques hold great promise for the development of "systems infrastructure" software, e.g., application servers, middleware, virtual machines, compilers, operating systems, and other software that provides general services for higher-level applications. The developers of infrastructure software are faced with increasing demands from application programmers needing higher-level support for application development. Meeting these demands requires careful use of software modularization techniques, since infrastructural concerns are notoriously hard to untangle.

Building on the ACP4IS meetings at AOSD 2002-2005, the meeting at AOSD.06 will focus on the particular topic of extra-functional features and their interactions.
