INTRODUCTION
The 4th Brazilian Symposium on Software Components, Architectures and Reuse - SBCARS 2010 gathers researchers, students and practitioners with a broad range of interests in component-based software engineering, software architectures and reuse. SBCARS's previous editions were highlighted by the presentation of high quality technical papers, international invited speakers, and tutorials. SBCARS 2010 intends to continue this tradition by offering a strong technical program, keynote talks by leaders in the field, and invited state-of-art seminars.
This year the symposium will be part of the 1st Brazilian Conference on Software: Theory and Practice, CBSoft 2010, http://cbsoft.dcc.ufba.br, which will host three traditional, well-established symposia:
* IV Brazilian Symposium on Components, Software Architecture and Software Reuse (SBCARS)
* XIV Brazilian Symposium on Programming Languages (SBLP)
* XXIV Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering (SBES)
Contributions to SBCARS on the field of software components, architectures and reuse are invited, including, but not limited to:
* Component-based software engineering
* Specification, verification, and test of components
* Evolution on component-based systems
* Component repositories
* Component-based programming
* Certification and quality of components
* Software architecture description languages
* Model-driven architectures
* Service-oriented architectures
* Software architectures and agile development
* Specification and verification of architectures
* Aspect-oriented software reuse
* Software product lines, families, and domain engineering
* Evolution on software product lines
* Variability management in software
* Generative programming and domain-specific languages
* Model-driven engineering
* Tool support for software components, architectures, and reuse
* Case studies and experience reports
