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 2007 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 2007 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;
* Interaction between component models, software architectures 
 and product lines; 
* Component-based web services and service-oriented architectures; 
* Software quality and extra-functional properties for components 
 and component-based systems; 
* Global generation, adaptation and deployment of component-based 
 systems and services; 
* Components and generative approaches;
* Components and model-driven development;
* Specification, verification and testing of component-based 
 systems; 
* Compositional reasoning techniques for component models; 
* Global measurement, prediction and monitoring of distributed and 
 services and 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 http://comparch2008.ipd.uka.de/
