/-------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Fifth International Conference on Software Reuse | | Call for Papers | | | | June 2-5, 1998 Victoria, British Columbia, | | http://www.cs.vt.edu/icsr5 Canada | | | | Sponsored (pending) by the IEEE Computer Society | | With cooperation (pending) from the ACM | \-------------------------------------------------------------------/ The premier international conference on software reuse invites you to participate in the fifth meeting of software reuse researchers, practitioners, and managers. The conference theme, "Putting the Pieces Together," addresses the traditional question of how to create, index, retrieve, evaluate, interconnect, integrate, and test reusable components for all aspects of the software lifecycle. However, "putting the pieces together" means more than assembling software components into new applications. It also means bringing together all the technologies, tools, techniques, and processes that have historically interested the reuse, object-oriented, software architecture, and software engineering communities. We invite you to submit full papers, tutorials, and panel proposals on topics that include: * Application of reuse metrics * Language design for reuse * Case studies and experiments * Maintenance issues in reuse * Copyright and legal issues * Object-oriented reuse * Current issues in reuse libraries * Patterns for software design * Distributed components and composition * Formal methods * Practical organizational issues * Design and validation of components * Re-engineering for reuse * Domain analysis and engineering * Reuse education and training * Generators and transformers * Reuse beyond code * Integration frameworks * Software architecture * Internet-based reuse /---------------------------------------------------------\ | ** Featured Keynote Speakers ** | |---------------------------------------------------------| | Tony Williams (The Architect of OLE, COM & DCOM) | | Microsoft Corporation | | Keynote Title: Forthcoming | | | | Philip Wadler (Co-Inventor of Pizza (a Java dialect) | | and Haskell) | | Bell Labs, Lucent Technologies | | Keynote Title: Forthcoming | | | | Java/Internet Speaker (to be announced) | | Keynote Title: Forthcoming | \---------------------------------------------------------/ ------------------------------- Important Dates: ------------------------------- Submissions: Oct. 1, 1997 Acceptance: Jan. 23, 1998 Camera-Ready Due: Feb. 20, 1998 ------------------------------- Instructions to Authors: ------------------------ Papers must be original and not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Authors must clearly explain the contribution of the work in terms of its theoretical and/or practical value and *relationship to previous work*. Submissions must be full papers, in English, which when in final form require no more than 10 printed pages in standard IEEE 2-column format. Each submission must include an abstract and a list of key words. Panel proposals must include the moderator's name, an abstract, and the list of panelists that have consented to participate. Accepted papers and panel positions will appear in the conference proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. The conference will also host exhibits of software reuse technology; we welcome demonstrations of commercial products and research prototypes.
