Software Composition 2009

 * 8th International Conference on Software Composition (SC2009)
 * Co-Located with TOOLS Europe 2009
 * 2-3 July, 2009 - Zurich, Switzerland
 * http://www.2009.software-composition.org/
 * Submission Deadline: January 30, 2009

The International Conference on Software Composition (SC) is the leading venue that addresses challenges of software composition. SC seeks to develop a better understanding of how composition of software parts may be used to build and maintain large software systems. SC2009 will be the eighth edition in the series and we invite researchers and practitioners to submit high quality papers. Submissions relating theory and practice of software composition are particularly welcome.

Topics of Interest
The SC 2009 program committee seeks original, high quality papers related to Software Composition, such as but not limited to the following:


 * Composition and adaptation techniques
 * Composition languages, calculi and type systems
 * Aspect-oriented programming
 * Semantics-based composition and analysis of component systems
 * Verification, validation and testing techniques
 * Dynamic composition and reconfiguration
 * Composition issues in industrial-strength component systems and frameworks
 * Composition aspects of service-oriented architectures
 * Software composition in pervasive computing environments
 * Mashups - software composition for the Web
 * Visual composition environments and tools
 * Model-driven composition
 * Business process orchestration
 * Performance optimization of composite systems

Conference Format and Proceedings
We solicit high-quality submissions on research results and/or experience (up to 16 pages, LNCS format, including bibliography and figures) describing a technical contribution in depth. Short and position papers are also welcome for the work in progress session (up to 8 pages, LNCS format, including bibliography and figures). Short submissions must concisely capture ongoing work, new ideas, and experiences.

Submitted papers will be judged on the basis of significance, relevance, correctness, originality, and clarity. Submitted papers must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere.

As in previous years, the proceedings of the conference will be published as a volume in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science. (Official confirmation of Spinger is pending.) Authors of accepted papers should provide all the electronic files of the final version of their paper according to the instructions provided at Springer's LNCS home page (www.springer.com/lncs).
