[aspectj-users] MODULARITY: aosd.2012 - Modularity Visions Track 2nd– Call for Papers

Modularity Visions Track – Call for Papers
------------------------------------------

Modularity properties are key determinants of quality in information
systems, software, and system production processes. Modularity
influences system diversity, dependability, performance, evolution,
the structure and the dynamics of the organizations that produce
systems, human understanding and management of systems, and ultimately
system value.

Yet the nature of and possibilities for modularity, limits to
modularity, the mechanisms needed to achieve it in given forms, and
its costs and benefits remain poorly understood. Significant advances
in modularity thus are possible and promise to yield breakthroughs in
our ability to conceive, design, develop, validate, integrate, deploy,
operate and evolve modern information systems and their underlying
software artifacts.

The Modularity Visions track of AOSD 2012 (MV) seeks papers presenting
compelling insights into modularity in information systems, including
its nature, forms, mechanisms, consequences, limits, costs and
benefits. Rather than ex post results, MV seeks promising ex ante
proposals for future work. The scope of MV is broad: open to
submissions from all areas of computer science, as well as from other
fields.

Reviewing Process
------------------
Reviewing will be based on norms applied to peer-reviewed proposals to
programs that demand breakthrough potential. Papers must be well
written, present new perspectives on, or approaches to, important
problems, formulate clear hypotheses justified by analysis or results
from preliminary work, evaluate potential significance and risks,
articulate how progress can be evaluated, and discuss related and
required future work.

MV will use a two-phase review process. Each paper will first be
reviewed by at least two members of the program committee (PC). Any
paper receiving at least one positive review will be reviewed by at
least one more PC member. The PC will then recommend acceptance,
rejection, or an invitation to revise and resubmit. Authors of revised
papers should explain how they responded to earlier reviews. MV may
include invited papers.

Important Dates
---------------
All deadlines are at 23:59:59 Apia, Samoa time.
•       Paper submission: September 23, 2011
•       Notification: October 28, 2011
•       Invited revisions: November 25, 2011
•       Notification for revised submissions: December 16, 2011
•       Camera-ready copy to publisher: January 9, 2012

Instructions for Authors
------------------------
Work submitted to the AOSD Modularity Visions track must not be under
review for publication in any other venue and must not already have
been published. Submission will be carried out electronically via
CyberChair (http://cyberchairpro.borbala.net/modvispapers/submit/).
The AOSD 2012 Research Results and MV tracks use separate CyberChair
URLs. Papers must be submitted as PDF files not to exceed 12 pages
(including bibliography, appendices and figures) using the SIGPLAN
Proceedings Format and a 10 point font. By default the SIGPLAN
Proceedings Format uses a 9 point font. If you are formatting your
paper using LaTeX, you will need to set the 10pt option in the
\documentclass command. If you are formatting your paper using Word,
you may use the provided Word template, which uses a 10pt font.
Include page numbers in submissions. Setting the preprint option in
the \documentclass command generates page numbers. Ensure that your
submission is legible printed when in black and white. Different
colors must map to distinct gray values and all writing must be
readable.
Submission deadlines, length limits, and formatting instructions are
firm. Submissions that deviate materially will be rejected without
review by the program chair. Submitted papers must adhere to SIGPLAN's
republication policy.

Publication
-----------
Accepted papers will be published by the ACM in the AOSD 2012
Proceedings and in the ACM Digital Library. Authors of accepted papers
are expected to revise papers in light of reviewers' comments, agree
to provide camera-ready versions by camera-ready deadlines, and agree
to sign the standard ACM copyright form.
