W1: International Workshop on Principles of Software Evolution – IWPSE 2001
Contact: T. Tamai, University of Tokyo, Japan (iwpse2001@jaist.ac.jp)
September 10-11, 2001
The international workshop on software evolution, IWPSE 2001, is organized for discussing and presenting papers on the theory and experience of software evolution. Software evolution generally means that software changes itself according to the change of its specification/requirements or its operating environment. It is widely recognized as one of the most important problems in software engineering. Although a significant amount of work has been done so far and most of the modern software concepts are essential for software evolution, it is still a challenging problem to be attacked.
This is due to its inherent complexity and to the lack of theoretical foundation and empirical studies of software evolution. IWPSE 2001 is intended to provide a forum to discuss a wide range of topics of software evolution:
- Theory of software evolution
- Evolution of requirements and environments
- Architecture for evolution and evolution of architecture
- Software process for evolution and evolution of software process
- Methodology for evolutional design and development
- Testing and verification of evolution
- Metrics of evolution
- Configuration and change management for evolution
- Development support environment for evolutional
- Experience and lessons learned from evolutional software systems
W2: Workshop on Composition Languages – WCL 2001
Contact: Jean-Guy Schneider, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia (schneidr@it.swin.edu.au) Markus Lumpe, Iowa State University of Science and Technology, USA (lumpe@cs.iastate.edu)
September 11, 2001
The aim of WCL 2001 is to provide a forum to address problems concerning the design and implementation of higher-level languages for component-based software development. The main focus of the work-shop will be on language aspects, and not on component-based systems in general. Besides a discussion of theoretical and practical issues related to composition languages, we hope that this workshop also results in an outline of collaborative topics relevant for both researchers and practitioners as well as a list of areas for further exploration.
In contrast to similar workshops in the area of component-based software, WCL 2001 aims to particularly address specific problems related to composition systems and environments. More precisely, we would like to emphasize important issues of
- the design and implementation of higher-level languages for component- based software development,
- the definition of new paradigms for the specification of reusable architectural assets, and
- expressing applications as compositions of software components (i.e. scripting).
