Service and Component-Based Software Engineering Track

Component-based software engineering (CBSE) is a development paradigm that promises to accelerate software development and to reduce costs by assembling systems from prefabricated software components. CBSE covers many software engineering disciplines and different techniques. Many of them have been developed and successfully implemented. CBSE has been successful in certain engineering domains, such as office applications and distributed internet-based applications, but it is still in the early stage of utilization in many other domains, in particular those which have specific requirements on particular quality attributes.

In parallel to CBSE, service-oriented software engineering has been developing techniques for constructing applications by orchestrating pre-existing services. Although these techniques may be different from those developed in CBSE, there is a common knowledge base shared between the two communities.

The CBSE track, in its ninth year, has a goal to point out the overall challenges and problems of the component-based, or service-oriented, approach, and to show the new ideas, solutions and practices. The aim of the track is to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to improve the theories, technologies, and processes in component-based and service-oriented software development. We encourage submissions of a theoretical nature as well as experience reports, from academia and especially from industry. Suggested areas of interest include, but are not restricted to:

• Component models, component and service technologies
• Component-based and service-oriented architectures
• Quality of components and services
• Components and services for dependable, real-time and embedded systems
• CBSE and product-line development, CBSE and variability
• Generation, adaptation and deployment of component-based and service-oriented systems
• Compositional reasoning techniques for component models and service-based architectures
• Specification, verification, testing and checking of component-based and service-oriented systems
• Measurement, prediction and monitoring of component-based, distributed and service-oriented systems
• Component and service development processes
• Runtime support for components
• Reverse engineering and componentization of legacy code
• Integrated tool chains and methods for building component-based services
• Case studies and experience reports

The accepted paper should follow two column IEEE conference format. To get format description and templates follow the IEEE link. Papers should not exceed 8 pages (in IEEE/CS proceedings format; 10pt, single-space, double-column) or 6000 words and include an abstract of up to 150 words. Papers must not have been previously published or submitted elsewhere. If accepted, the paper must be personally presented at the EUROMICRO SEAA 2009 Conference by the author or one of the co-authors. The presenting author(s) must pre-register (full fee) for EUROMICRO SEAA 2009 before the due date of the Camera-ready paper.

Special Sessions

There will be a related special session on Model Driven Engineering led by Michel Chaudron, Raffaela Mirandola, and Antonino Sabetta.
