Workshop Description
--------------------
Aspect-oriented software development (AOSD) is a new approach for
modularizing complex software systems. As an extension to other software
development paradigms, such as object-oriented development, it allows to
capture and modularize concerns that crosscut a software systems in
so-called aspects. Aspects are constructs that can be identified and
manipulated throughout the development process.
Much work has been done to develop aspect-oriented languages, support, and
models for aspect-oriented software development. With the growing acceptance
of AOSD as a software development technique, dedicated support for analysis
of aspectual artifacts is needed at the various stages of software
development. Developers need to be able to understand, visualize, specify,
verify and test aspect-oriented requirements, architectures, designs and
programs to make it an industrially viable technology.
In this workshop, we will discuss where analysis of aspect-oriented software
is needed, what the challenges are and how these challenges can be
addressed. We are interested in discussing these questions in the context of
the whole software development life cycle.
The target audience includes people interested in software artefact analysis
and aspect-oriented programmnig. The workshop is intended for people who
have had some exposure to either or both topics.
Goal of this workshop is to create a fruitful discussion about the analysis
of aspect-oriented systems. By bringing together different research
communities that work in this field, we hope to achieve cross-fertilization
and exchange of ideas.
Topics of Interest
------------------
Areas of interest include but are not limited to:
- Analysis of aspect-oriented artifacts (requirements, specifications,
architectures, designs, programs);
- Static and dynamic analysis;
- Identification and resolution of aspect interactions;
- Specification of AO systems;
- Verification of AO systems;
- Visualization to enhance understanding of AO requirements, design,
programs, etc.;
- Testing approaches for AO systems;
- Debugging techniques;
- Run-time inspection of AO programs;
- Tool support for above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Paper Submissions
-----------------
Interested parties are invited to submit a position, vision or experience
paper of 6 pages or less. Submitted papers should provide a clear
description of an area of analysis required for aspect-oriented software
development, and a description of a proposed approach to developing such
tools and techniques. If the authors have a system that they wish to
demonstrate, the paper should include a brief description of the system and
a demonstration scenario. We particularly encourage submissions on adapting
established analysis techniques for OO systems to an AO context. Workshop
attendance is by invitation only.
Submissions are accepted in PDF, Postscript or Word format. All submissions
should be send by email to aaos2003@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx by April 07, 2003.
Authors will be notified of the acceptance or rejection of their submissions
by May 15, 2003. Final copies of accepted papers are due by May 30, 2003
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Workshop Format
---------------
The workshop will be one full day, divided approximately evenly between
discussion sessions and presentations.
The first part of the workshop day will be divided into sessions, each of
which will focus on a particular topic of interest. In each session authors
of some of the accepted papers will be invited to present a short talk
and/or demonstration. After the presentations, we will hold an open
discussion period led jointly by the speakers for that particular topic and
a member of the workshop committee.
The second part of the day will be used for small group discussion on issues
arising from the presentation sessions. Each group will focus on a
particular area of analysis of aspect-oriented software and will aim to
identify key challenges. The workshop will conclude with a discussion of
challenges identified by each group.
Post workshop the organizers will combine the results from the group
discussions into a workshop report. This document will be posted on the
workshop website, along with all of the accepted papers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Workshop Reader
---------------
Springer-Verlag will publish the ECOOP 2003 WS Reader as an LNCS volume.
This book will include a report for AAOS 2003, written by its organizers in
collaboration with the participants. The report will provide a summary of
the workshop with the major issues discussed and the conclusions drawn from
the discussions, and will also include open research directions related to
the workshop theme. The papers presented at the workshop will not be
included into the report.
An online version of the workshop report will be made available on the
worshop web site shortly after the workshop.
Workshop Website
----------------
All accepted papers will be posted on the website before the workshop to be
available for workshop participants. The website
(http://www.comp.lancs.ac.uk/computing/users/chitchya/AAOS2003/AAOS_Home.php
) includes a discussion forum allowing submitters to begin to discuss the
issues arising in advance of the workshop. After the workshop, the website
will be maintained for as long as possible in order to allow discussions to
continue.
