Goals
=====
Component-based Software Engineering (CBSE) has emerged as a technology
for rapid assembly of flexible software systems. CBSE combines elements
of software architecture, modular software design, software
verification, configuration and deployment. To foster exchange
and collaboration with the software architecture community, CBSE is
colocated with the Quality of Software Architectures Conference (QoSA)
as part of the federated CompArch event.
The CBSE symposium has a track record of bringing together researchers
and practitioners from a variety of disciplines to promote a better
understanding of CBSE from a diversity of perspectives, and to engage in
active discussion and debate. CBSE 2008 is open to all participants
interested in CBSE and related areas. The symposium addresses
participants from both universities and industry.
Scope
=====
The theoretical foundations of component specification, composition,
analysis and verification continue to pose research challenges. While
the engineering models and methods for component software development
are slowly maturing, new trends in global services and distributed
systems architectures push the limits of established and tested
component-based methods, tools and platforms:
* model-driven development and grid technologies with their
high-performance demands in massive data storage, computational
complexity and global co-scheduling of scientific models in flagship
science, technology and medicine research;
* global software development with its lowering of cost of software
capabilities and production, through automation, off-shoring and
outsourcing of key components and subsystems;
* networked enterprise information systems and services architectures
crossing enterprise, nation,legal and discipline boundaries;
* shift from (globally distributed) software products to pervasive and
ubiquitous services supported by deep software-intensive
infrastructures and middleware and by increasingly flexible, adaptive
and autonomous client and application server software.
CBSE 2008 will include contributions that explore how the nature of
component- based software engineering is being influenced by
developments in the field of software and global enterprise technology.
In addition to presentations of papers, the symposium will incorporate
working and industry sessions.
Topics of interest
==================
* Design of component models;
* Theories (including taxonomies) of software composition and binding;
* Co-ordination and choreography of component software, services,
workflows;
* Run-time adaptation of component-based systems;

* Specification, verification and testing of component-based systems;
* Compositional reasoning techniques for component models;
* Global measurement, prediction and monitoring of distributed and
service components;
* Patterns and frameworks for component-based systems and services;
* Integrated tool chains and methods for building component-based
services;
* Components for networked real-time information systems and sensor
networks.
* Industrial experience using component-based software development
* Empirical studies in component-based software engineering
* Teaching component-based software engineering
Paper Submission
================
All submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three program
committee members (four for papers with an author on the program
committee). Papers must not have been previously published or
concurrently submitted elsewhere. Any duplicate submissions will be
rejected without review. As always, the symposium seeks reports on
innovative contributions to the science and technology of CBSE.
Papers describing practical experience with CBSE in mission- and
performance-critical systems are of particular interest. Long and short
papers on leading-edge research and development in progress are also
encouraged. Long papers must not exceed 16 pages and short papers must
not exceed 8 pages, in the required format. The proceeding will be
published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS)
series and papers should have the requisite format.
Details regarding the submission will be published on

====QoSA====
4th International Conference on the Quality of Software Architectures
(QoSA 2008)

Motivation
==========
Today, a system's software architecture cannot be seen simply as a means
to an end, the end being the implemented system. Although the ultimate
measure of the quality of the software architecture lies in the
implemented system, in how well it satisfies the requirements and
constraints of the project and whether it can be maintained and evolved
successfully, the quality of a system's software architectureis one of
the critical factors in its overall system quality - encompassing both
functional and extrafunctional properties. In order to treat design as
an engineering discipline rather than an art, we need the ability to
address the quality of the software architecture directly, not simply as
it is reflected in the implemented system.
This is a specific goal of QoSA - to deal with software architecture in
general and simultaneously focus on its quality characteristics by
addressing the problems of:
* designing software architectures of good quality,
* defining, measuring, evaluating architecture quality, and
* managing architecture quality, tying it upstream to requirements and
downstream to implementation, and preserving architecture quality
throughout the lifetime of the system.
Cross-cutting these problems is the question of the nature of software
architecture. Software architecture organizes a system, partitioning it
into elements and defining relationships among the elements. For this we
often use multiple views, each with a different organizing principle.
But software architecture must also support properties that are emergent
and cannot be ascribed to particular elements. For this we often use the
language of quality attributes.
Quality attributes cover both internal properties, exhibited only in the
development process (e.g. maintainability, portability, testability,
etc.), and external properties, exhibited in the executing system (e.g.
performance, resource consumption, availability, etc.). Quality
attributes cover properties that are emergent, that have a pervasive
impact, that are difficult to reverse, and that interact, thereby
precluding or constraining other properties.
Thus, QoSA also aims to investigate quality attributes in the context of
the problems of the design, evaluation, and management of software
architecture.
This years QoSA's main topic is on "Models and Architectures". Modelling
software architectures for documentation purposes as well as manual
analysis is an established practice. Due to the
continuous maturation of model-driven software development methods and
tools, software architecture models also become subject to automated
model transformations. Their target is either to generate high quality
software implementations or to automatically derive analysis models for
predicting architectural quality characteristics like performance
or reliability.
