=====================================================================

Now that object technology is mainstream, it can be studied in
combination with other technologies devoted to achieving high quality
software. TOOLS EUROPE is a long standing conference that brings
together researchers, practitioners and students to discuss objects,
models, components, patterns, languages and systems in a holistic way.
TOOLS has a strong practical bias, without losing sight of the
importance of correctness and performance.

TOOLS EUROPE solicits contributions on all aspects of object
technology and related fields, in particular model-based development,
component-based development, language implementation and patterns.
More generally, any contribution addressing topics in advanced
software technology falls within the scope of TOOLS. Reflecting
the practical emphasis of TOOLS, contributions showcasing applications
along with a sound conceptual contribution are particularly welcome.

Topics include:

* Applications to safety- and security-related software
* Aspects and aspect-oriented programming and modelling
* Component-based programming, modelling, tools
* Distributed and concurrent object systems
* Domain specific languages and language design
* Experience reports, including efforts at standardisation
* Frameworks for component-based development
* Language implementation techniques, compilers, run-time systems
* Model-driven development and model-driven architecture
* Multicore programming, models and patterns
* Object technology, including programming techniques, languages, tools
* Open source solutions and reproduction studies
* Patterns, pattern languages and tool support for patterns
* Practical applications of program verification and analysis
* Real-time object-oriented programming and design
* Testing of object-oriented systems
* Tools and frameworks for supporting model-driven development
* Trusted and reliable components

All contributions will be subject to a rigorous selection process
by the international Program Committee, with a stress on originality,
practicality and overall quality. For detailed submission information
see the conference page.

The conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the LNCS
series [final approval pending]. A selection of the best papers of
the conference will be invited to submit extended versions to the
renewed Journal of Object Technology (http://www.jot.fm)

Important Dates:

* Papers submission deadline: January 28, 2011
* Acceptance notification: March 23, 2011
* Camera-ready final copy: April 4, 2011
* Conference: June 28 - 30, 2011
