<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">***WORKSHOP OVERVIEW***</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">Aspects are crosscutting concerns that exist throughout the software development cycle - from requirements through to implementation. While crosscutting other concerns, aspects often exert broad influences on these concerns, e.g. by modifying their semantics, structure or behaviour. These dependencies between aspectual and non-aspectual elements, as well as among aspectual elements, may lead to either desirable or (more often) unwanted and unexpected interactions.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">This workshop is focused on identifying, understanding, and resolving all kinds of issues related to such dependencies and interactions by bringing together researchers and practitioners from across the whole spectrum of software development activities.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">We also invite work on this topic from other (non-AO) fields that either tackles problems relevant to Aspect-Oriented Software Development (e.g., crosscutting, composition, etc.) or proposes a solution clearly related to AOSD.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">We encourage submissions investigating the problems of such dependencies and interactions and handling them at all levels:</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">- starting from the early development stages (i.e., requirements,</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New"> architecture, and design), looking into dependencies between</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New"> requirements (e.g. positive/negative contributions between aspectual</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New"> goals) and interactions caused by aspects (e.g. quality attributes)</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New"> in requirements, architecture, and design;</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">- analysing these dependencies and interactions both through modelling</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New"> and formal analysis;</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">- considering language design issues which help to handle such</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New"> dependencies and interactions (e.g. 'declare precedence' mechanism</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New"> of AspectJ);</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">- studying such interactions in applications.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">The goal of this workshop is to continue the wide discussion on dependencies and interactions between aspectual and non-aspectual elements, started at ADI 2006, thus investigating the lasting nature of such dependency links across all development activities. It is hoped that input from both research and practice will help to progress the understanding and solutions to this complex subject.</FONT></SPAN></P>

<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">***WORKSHOP FORMAT***</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">The workshop is intended to be highly interactive, favouring discussion and group work over presentations. During the morning there will be a keynote speech by an invited speaker and a short presentation session of 3-4 selected papers which will highlight some problems or solutions to aspectual dependencies and interaction issues, and, more importantly, provide grounds for discussion.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">The rest of the workshop will be devoted to discussions and work in small interest groups. Results of the group work will be presented and debated at a concluding panel (with participation of invited panellists). The results of the interest group and panel discussions will be summarised into a workshop report to be published in the workshop reader by Springer.</FONT></SPAN></P>
