CALL FOR PAPERS

SC’2010
9th International Conference on Software Composition

www.software-composition.org



The 9th International Conference on Software Composition (SC’2010)
is the leading venue that addresses challenges of how composition of
software parts may be used to build and maintain large software systems.
SC’2010 will be the ninth 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.

Software Composition 2010 is co-located with TOOLS federated conferences
2010. It will take place in Malaga, located in a privileged enclave.
The municipality extends over an area of 398.25 square kilometers and
its "de facto" urban population reaches the million inhabitants mark.
Topics of Interest:
The SC 2010 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 software development
- Software product lines
- Feature-oriented software development
- Semantics-based composition and analysis of component systems
- Verification, validation and testing techniques
- Dynamic composition and reconfiguration
- Composition issues in industrial-strength component systems
- Composition aspects of service-oriented architectures
- Software composition in pervasive computing environments
- Software composition for the Web (Mashups ...)
- Visual composition environments and tools
- Model-driven composition
- Business process orchestration
- Performance optimization of composite systems
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 Submitted papers must be unpublished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.
