Call for Papers

COMPARCH 2008 
Industrial Experience Report Track

COMPARCH 2008 Industrial Day

Universitaet Karlsruhe (TH), Germany,

Today, a system's software quality plays an increasingly important role. 
It is commonly accepted that crucial quality attributes including 
performance metrics, scalability or availability, but also 
maintainability are heavily influenced by the software architecture. 
However, a systematic and comprehensive understanding of how 
architectural design decisions affect the system's quality is lacking. 
Nevertheless, to treat software design as an engineering discipline 
rather than an art, we need the ability to address the quality of the 
software architecture directly on the model level, not simply as it is 
reflected in the implemented system.

Therefore, in the Industrial Experience Track of COMPARCH we explicitly 
ask for reports on projects where the architecture plays or should play 
a central role for software quality or is used in the development 
process to control the quality. The goal of the Industrial Track is 
exchanging experience in the role of software architectures of existing 
or currently built systems


Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Software Architectures
* Software Development Processes
* Quality of Software
* Evolution of Software

Experience reports are up to 4 pages LNCS style. Accepted contributions 
will be published in the COMPARCH conference volume. All Papers must be 
written in English and are to be prepared according to Springer's LNCS 
style (guidelines are available at: 
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html).

Paper submission is possible via email: experience-reports at ira.uka.de
Deadline is the May 05th 2008.
