Call for Papers

The objective of the 1^st Asia-Pacific Workshop on Software Architectures and Component Technologies is to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry and governments to report advances in software architecture and component engineering research. The workshop will cover the broad spectrum of research relevant to software architectures and component technologies, including, but not limited to, the following:

· Architecture visualization and documentation

· Industrial best practices

· Methods and techniques for architecture analysis and evaluation

· Component-based software engineering

· Model driven architectures

· Incorporating legacy architectures

· Dynamic and adaptive system architectures

· Architecture description languages

· Interoperability and integration

· Architecture and design patterns

· Architecture frameworks

· Quality attributes and non-functional requirements

· Composition techniques for component-based systems

· Product-line architectures

· Component testing and certification

· Domain specific architectures

· Component-related metrics

· Methods and tools for software architecture reconstruction

· Industry case studies and empirical evaluations

· Component technologies and frameworks

Submission Requirements

All contributions will be reviewed and evaluated based on originality, technical quality and relevance to workshop themes. Papers must be no longer than 8 pages formatted as standard IEEE Computer Society format (see http://www.computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm).

Experience papers and practical reports on industrial case studies are particularly welcomed.

Submitted papers must be written in English and identify the contribution or the paper.

Papers submissions must be in pdf format and should be emailed to the organizers at ian.gorton@nicta.com.au

Publication of Papers

All accepted papers will appear in the APSEC 2004 conference proceedings to be published by the IEEE Computer Society. Authors of accepted papers must register for the APSEC 2004 conference.
