-- CALL FOR PAPERS --


The International Conference on Software Composition (SC) is the
leading venue that addresses challenges of software composition. SC
seeks to develop a better understanding of how composition of software
parts may be used to build and maintain large software systems.
SC2009 will be the eighth edition in the series and we invite
researchers and practitioners to submit high quality
papers. Submissions relating theory and practice of software
composition are particularly welcome.

Topics of Interest

The SC 2009 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


Conference Format and Proceedings

We solicit high-quality submissions on research results and/or
experience (up to 16 pages, LNCS format, including bibliography and
figures) describing a technical contribution in depth. Short and
position papers are also welcome for the work in progress session (up
to 8 pages, LNCS format, including bibliography and figures). Short
submissions must concisely capture 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must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere.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 conference will be
published as a volume in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer
Science. (Official confirmation of Spinger is pending.)
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).
