Opening product architectures and platforms for third parties, designing closed innovation networks among partners through APIs and SDKs, coordinating multiple platforms, or participative engineering across organizational borders are all variants of ecosystems that come with their own opportunities and threats at the same time. IWSECO and WEA aim to further increase the body of knowledge about software ecosystems by providing a forum to exchange ideas and discuss the most recent innovations, trends and experiences in the field. They aim to build and shape the community of leading practitioners and research experts by providing forums for the exchange of research results and industrial practice in software ecosystems. Co-organizing IWSECO and WEA will provide a venue for practitioners and researchers to share their lessons learned in two cross-cutting aspects of software ecosystems: (1) business and social (2) architecture and technology The co-organization allows us to attract and involve a larger group of interested participants from the software architecture community. RELEVANT TOPICS The co-organized workshops IWSECO and WEA seek submissions of papers describing novel research, experience reports, and emerging ideas. We invite the submission from research and industrial practice describing original and unpublished results in the field of software ecosystems. Topics of interest include, but are certainly not limited to: - Ecosystem and platform architecture, evolution and lifecycle Tools for inter-system static and/or dynamic analysis, visualization, and monitoring App architectures and app orchestration Experience reports on best practices in ecosystem design, modeling and architectures Empirical studies of ecosystem phenomena Processes for ecosystems and community management Business cases, economics, strategies and governance for software ecosystems Social and collaborative aspects of software ecosystems And everything that enables to scale architectures up to the level of software ecosystems! SUBMISSIONS We welcome both research and industry papers. They must be original and not submitted to or accepted by any other workshop, conference or journal. All accepted papers will be published in the ACM digital library. Papers should not exceed 6 pages. Submissions must follow the ACM SIG Proceedings Style, 2-column.

Workshop on Managing Technical Debt Message-ID: CALL FOR PAPERS Seventh International Workshop on Managing Technical Debt (MTD 2015) October 2nd 2015, Bremen, Germany, in conjunction with ICSME 2015 http://www.sei.cmu.edu/community/td2015/ Delivering complex, large-scale systems faces the ongoing challenge of how best to balance rapid deployment with long-term value. Theoretical foundations and empirical evidence for analyzing and optimizing short- term versus long-term goals in large-scale projects are needed. From the original description-"not quite right code, which we postpone making right"-various people have used the metaphor of technical debt to describe many kinds of debts or ills of software development. On one hand, the practitioner community has increased interest in understanding and managing debt. On the other hand, the research community has an opportunity to study this phenomenon and improve the way it is handled. We can offer software engineers a foundation for managing such tradeoffs based on models of their economic impacts. Technical debt succinctly communicates the issues observed in large-scale long-term projects: - There is an optimization problem where focusing on the short-term puts the long-term into economic and technical jeopardy. - Design shortcuts can give the perception of success until their consequences start slowing projects down. - Software development decisions, especially architectural ones, must be actively managed and continuously analyzed quantitatively as they incur cost, value, and debt. Yet many questions remain open, such as - What is the lifecycle of technical debt? - How is technical debt related to evolution and maintenance activities? - How can information about technical debt be empirically collected for developing conceptual models? - What metrics need to be collected so that key measurement and pay-off analysis can be conducted? - How can technical debt be visualized and analyzed? - How should we manage technical debt incurred by external business constraints such as acquisitions and market ecosystems? - How can we assign business value to intrinsic qualities (e.g., cohesion and coupling)? - How do we manage dependencies between different items of technical debt? - How can we create traces between technical debt items and other software engineering artifacts? - How we can quantify costs and benefits of refactorings? - What are the right tools for managing technical debt? - How can we apply financial theories to manage technical debt? - How can we benchmark the tools that identify and measure technical debt? SUBMISSIONS We seek papers on practical experience with technical debt and approaches that attempt to answer these questions. All submitted papers must conform to the IEEE Conference Publishing Services (CPS) formatting instructions, and must not exceed 8 pages for all text, inclusive of figures, tables, and appendices, with up to one additional page for references only. All submissions must be in PDF. Submit your paper electronically via EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mtd15). We invite submissions of papers in the following categories: - Research papers, describing innovative and significant original research in the field - Industrial papers, describing industrial experience, case studies, challenges, problems, and solutions In either category, we look for long papers (8 pages), describing mature results, and short papers (4 pages), describing emerging results and future trends.

SCOPE AND TOPICS We solicit original, unpublished research papers that focus on efforts to design, formalize, implement, or evaluate computing technologies and languages for programming, modeling and communicating, which are easier to learn, use or understand than the state of the art. This includes languages and tools intended for general audiences (e.g., professional or novice programmers, or the public) or domain-specific audiences (e.g., people working in healthcare, urban design or scientific domains). It encompasses languages and tools for expressing forms of computation and reasoning through any means (e.g., visual, textual, form-based, haptic) and in any computing context (e.g., cloud, web, desktop, mobile or pervasive computing). Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Design, evaluation, and theory of visual languages * End-user development and end-user programming * Novel representations and user interfaces for expressing computation * Human aspects and psychology of software development and language design * Debugging and program understanding * Crowdsourcing, as related to languages and tools * Computational thinking and Computer Science education * Model-driven development * Domain-specific languages * Software visualization * Query languages SPECIAL EMPHASIS FOR 2015: COMPUTATIONAL THINKING AND CS EDUCATION The push to enhance computational thinking and computing skills in education has never been stronger, with a number of high-profile movements actively working to establish computer science as a foundation in education (e.g., Code.org) and to broaden participation in computing among underrepresented groups (e.g., NCWIT). VL/HCC is well suited to this pursuit: learning and education is inherently human-centered, and the potential of visual languages to captivate users and remove barriers is well recognized. Thus, for VL/HCC 2015, we seek to place a special emphasis on education-oriented topics. To this end, we strongly encourage the submission of works on visual languages and human-centric computing that, for example, explore theories of human learning, propose new methods and tools to enhance learning, and empirically investigate and evaluate learning in a variety of computing contexts. PAPER SUBMISSIONS We invite two kinds of papers (deadlines below under Important Dates): [***NOTE: The page limits have changed for 2015.] * full-length research papers, up to 8 pages -- plus 1 additional page that contains only references * short research papers, up to 4 pages -- plus 1 additional page that contains only references In addition to papers, we also invite contributions of other types -- see below under Workshops, Showpieces (Posters & Demos), and Graduate Consortium. All accepted papers, whether full or short, should be complete archival contributions. Contributions from full papers are more extensive than those from short papers. Work-in-progress, which has not yet yielded a contribution, should be submitted to the Showpieces category. All submissions will be reviewed by members of the Program Committee. Submission and reviews for the technical program are managed with EasyChair. Accepted papers will be distributed at the conference and will be submitted for inclusion in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library (http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/). The proceedings are an official electronic publication of the IEEE in Computer Science, with an ISBN number. Be sure to use the current IEEE conference paper format, which was changed in 2011: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html Additionally, selected papers from VL/HCC 2014 and 2015 will be invited for submission in expanded form to a special issue of the Journal of Visual Languages and Computing (JVLC). The topic of the special issue will be programming and modeling tools. Further instructions regarding formatting and the review/publication process will be provided when the invitations are made. The latest details are available at our website: http://vlhcc.org/ EVALUATION Papers are expected to support their claims with appropriate evidence. For example, a paper that claims to improve programmer productivity is expected to demonstrate improved productivity; a paper that claims to be easier to use should demonstrate increased ease of use. However, not all claims necessarily need to be supported with empirical evidence or studies with people. For example, a paper that claims to make something feasible that was clearly infeasible might substantiate its claim through the existence of a functioning prototype. Moreover, there are many alternatives to empirical evidence that may be appropriate for claims, including analytical methods or formal arguments. Given this criteria, we encourage potential authors to think carefully about what claims their submission makes and what evidence would adequately support these claims. The evaluation process will proceed as follows: 1. Initial review period: At least three members of the Program Committee will review each paper. At the end of this period, these initial reviews will be released to the authors. 2. Author response period: Authors will have an opportunity to submit a 500-word response based on their initial reviews. Responses should focus on answering reviewers' questions, addressing reviewers' concerns, and clarifying any factual misunderstandings. 3. Final review period: Taking the author response into account, the original reviewers will revise their reviews as they deem appropriate, and the Program Committee will reach a final decision to accept or reject the submitted work. WORKSHOPS, SHOWPIECES (POSTERS & DEMOS), AND GRADUATE CONSORTIUM The conference also invites submissions for workshops and tutorials, showpieces (e.g., demos and posters), and the Graduate Consortium (GC). More information about these contribution types will be posted on the VL/HCC 2015 web site at http://vlhcc.org/.

It aims at attracting contributions from both fields. Though there exist large, well-known conferences and workshops hosting contributions to any of these areas, SLSP is a more focused meeting where synergies between subdomains and people will hopefully happen. In SLSP 2015, significant room will be reserved to young scholars at the beginning of their career and particular focus will be put on methodology. VENUE: SLSP 2015 will take place in Budapest, on the banks of the Danube and an extensive UNESCO World Heritage site.

Common tools and methods used in DevOps include infrastructure as code, automation through deep modeling of systems, continuous deployment, and continuous integration. As of today, software engineering research has mainly explored these problems from a functional perspective, trying to increase the benefits and generality of these methods for the end users. However, this has left behind the definition of methods and tools for DevOps to assess predict and verify quality dimensions. The QUDOS workshop focuses on the problem of how to best define and integrate quality assurance methods and tools in DevOps. Quality covers a broadly-defined set of dimensions including performance, reliability, safety, survivability, cost of ownership, among others. To answer this question, the QUDOS workshop wants to bring together experts from academia and industry working in areas such as quality assurance, agile software engineering, and model-based development. The goal is to identify and disseminate novel quality-aware approaches to DevOps. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Foundations of quality assurance in DevOps: Methodologies; Integration with life-cycle management; Automated tool chains, Architecture patterns; etc. * Quality assurance in the development phase: Software models in early software development phases; Languages, annotations and profiles for quality assurance; Quality analysis and prediction; Optimization-based architecture design; Architectural improvements; Performance anti-pattern detection; Traceability and versioning; Software regression and testing; Performance change detection; etc. * Quality assurance during operation: Application performance monitoring; Model-driven performance measurement and benchmarking; Feedback-based quality assurance; Capacity planning and forecasting; etc. * Applications of DevOps: Case studies in cloud computing, big data, and smart cyber-physical systems; Standardization and interoperability; Novel application domains. * All other topics related to quality-aware DevOps For more details, please visit: http://qudos2015.fortiss.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ORGANIZING COMMITTEE Workshop Chairs Danilo Ardagna, Politecnico di Milano, Italy Andreas Brunnert, fortiss GmbH, Germany Giuliano Casale, Imperial College London, UK Andre van Hoorn, University of Stuttgart, Germany Program Committee Varsha Apte, IIT Bombay, India Matej Artac, XLAB, Slovenia Simona Bernardi, Centro Universitario de la Defensa, AGM, Spain Andre Bondi, Siemens Corporate Research, USA Francesco D'Andria, ATOS, Spain Wilhelm Hasselbring, Kiel University, Germany Samuel Kounev, University of Wuerzburg, Germany Klaus-Dieter Lange, HP, USA Zhen Ming (Jack) Jiang, York University, Canada Manoj Nambiar, Tata Consultancy Services, India Richard Paige, University of York, UK Dana Petcu, IEAT, Romania Dorina Petriu, Carleton University, Canada Meikel Poess, Oracle Corporation, USA Matteo Rossi, Politecnico di Milano, Italy Arnor Solberg, SINTEF, Norway Catia Trubiani, Gran Sasso Science Institute, Italy Petr Tuma, Charles University of Prague, Czech Republic Liming Zhu, NICTA, Australia ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished papers that are not being considered in another forum.

Each year, it brings together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to discuss foundations, techniques and tools for automating the analysis, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance of large software systems. In 2015, ASE will be celebrating its 30th year as a premier venue for novel work in software automation. === CONFERENCE PAPERS ================================================ ASE 2014 invites high quality contributions describing significant, original, and unpublished results. Solicited topics include, but are not limited to: o Automated reasoning techniques o Open systems development o Component-based systems o Product line methods o Computer-supported cooperative work o Program understanding o Configuration management o Program synthesis o Data mining for software engineering o Program transformation o Domain modeling and meta-modeling o Re-engineering o Empirical software engineering o Requirements engineering o Human-computer interaction o Specification languages o Knowledge acquisition and management o Software analysis o Maintenance and evolution o Software architecture and design o Testing, verification, and validation o Model-based software development o Software visualization o Model transformation o Model-driven engineering o Modeling language semantics Three categories of submissions are solicited: 1. Technical Research Papers should describe innovative research in automating software development activities or automated support to users engaged in such activities. They should describe a novel contribution to the field and should carefully support claims of novelty with citations to the relevant literature. Where a submission builds upon previous work of the author(s), the novelty of the new contribution must be clearly described with respect to the previous work. Papers should also clearly discuss how the results were validated. 2. Experience Papers should describe a significant experience in applying automated software engineering technology and should carefully identify and discuss important lessons learned so that other researchers and/or practitioners can benefit from the experience. Of special interest are experience papers that report on industrial applications of automated software engineering. 3. New Ideas Papers should describe novel research directions in automating software development activities or automated support to users engaged in such activities. New ideas submissions are intended to describe well- defined research ideas that are at an early stage of investigation and may not be fully validated. Submission: All submissions must come in PDF format and conform, at time of submission, to the IEEE Formatting Guidelines. For details and templates see: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html Technical Research Papers and Experience Papers must not exceed 10 pages (including figures and appendices) plus up to 2 pages that contain ONLY references. New Ideas Papers must not exceed 6 pages (including figures, appendices AND references). Submissions that do not adhere to these limits or that violate the formatting guidelines will be desk-rejected without review. All submissions must be in English. Papers submitted to ASE 2015 must not have been previously published and must not be under review for publication elsewhere. All papers that conform to submission guidelines will be peer-reviewed by members of the Program Committee and members of the Expert Review Panel. Submissions will be evaluated on the basis of originality, soundness, relevance, importance of contribution, evaluation, quality of presentation and appropriate comparison to related work. Note that the Program Committee may re-assign a submission into a different category than the one it is submitted to if it decides that it is a better fit for that category. Acceptance: All accepted papers will be published by IEEE, provided that at least one author of each accepted paper registers as a full registration for the conference and presents the paper. Failure to do so may result in the paper being pulled out of the Digital Library. Program Chairs: Lars Grunske, University of Stuttgart, Germany Michael Whalen, University of Minnesota, USA === TOOL DEMONSTRATIONS ============================================== http://ase2015.unl.edu/#tab-demos Automated software engineering consists of automating processes related to requirements, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance of software systems. Automating these processes in the form of tools facilitates better productivity and improve the overall quality of software. The tool demonstrations track provides an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss their most recent advances, experiences, and challenges in the field of automated software engineering. ASE 2015 solicits high-quality submissions for its tool demonstrations track. We invite submission on tools that are either (a) early research prototypes or (b) mature tools, with a significant novel Improvement, and that have not yet been commercialized. Submissions should highlight the underlying scientific contributions, engineering ingenuity, applicability to a broader software engineering audience, and/or potential for or realization of scaling the tool. In contrast to a Technical Research track paper intended to provide details of a novel automated software engineering technique, a tool demonstration paper should indicate how the technique has been implemented as a functioning tool and how that tool should be used by its intended audience. We encourage authors of papers submitted to the Technical Research track to submit an accompanying tool demonstration paper. The tool demonstration program committee will review each submission to assess the relevance and quality of the proposed tool demonstration in terms of the usefulness of the tool, its ease of use by its intended users, its presentation quality, and a limited, but appropriate discussion of related tools. Accepted tool demonstrations will be allocated 5 pages in the conference proceedings: 4 pages for prose and up to one additional page for references. Authors of accepted tool demonstrations papers are required to give a presentation (read: live demo) of the tool during the conference. There will also be an area open to attendees at scheduled times during the conference during which demonstrators will also present their work in an more informal manner. Tool Demonstration Co-Chairs: Andrew Begel, Microsoft Research, USA Alessandra Gorla, IMDEA Software Institute, Spain === WORKSHOPS ======================================================== http://ase2015.unl.edu/#tab-workshops A workshop co-located with the ASE 2015 conference should provide an opportunity for exchanging views, advancing ideas, and discussing preliminary results on topics related to Automated Software Engineering. Workshops may also serve as platforms to nurture new scientific communities. Workshops should not be seen as an alternative forum for presenting full research papers. The workshops co-located with the conference will be organized before the main conference (Monday, Tuesday). The organizers will decide the exact day after the proposals have been reviewed and accepted. A workshop may last one or two days. Workshop Co-Chairs: David Lo, Singapore Management University, Singapore Anita Sarma, University of Nebraska?Lincoln, USA === TUTORIALS ======================================================== http://ase2015.unl.edu/#tab-tutorials Tutorials address a wide range of mature topics from theoretical foundations to practical techniques and tools for automated software engineering. Tutorials are intended to provide independent instruction on a relevant theme; therefore, no commercial or sales-oriented proposals will be accepted. The tutorials will be organized either on the Monday or Tuesday before the main conference. The general chair and organizers will decide the exact dates after all proposals have been reviewed and accepted. Tutorial Co-Chairs: Henry Muccini,University of L'Aquila, Italy Tien Nguyen, Iowa State University, USA === DOCTORAL SYMPOSIUM =============================================== http://ase2015.unl.edu/#tab-doctoral The goal of the ASE 2015 Doctoral Symposium is to provide a supportive yet questioning setting in which the PhD students have an opportunity to present and discuss their research with other researchers in the ASE community. The symposium aims at providing students useful guidance and feedback on their research and to facilitate networking within the scientific community by interacting with established researchers and with their peers at a similar stage in their careers.

Because having an important influence can only be determined over time, the papers being nominated must be from past decades. We have two award categories: Most Influential Paper (1) from 10 years ago (+/- 1 year), namely fully refereed papers that appeared at: VL/HCC 2004 (Rome, Italy) VL/HCC 2005 (Dallas, Texas, USA) VL/HCC 2006 (Brighton, UK) VL/HCC 2004: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/mostRecentIssue.jsp?punumber=9450 VL/HCC 2005: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/mostRecentIssue.jsp?punumber=10093 VL/HCC 2006: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/mostRecentIssue.jsp?punumber=11158 and Most Influential Paper (2) from 20 years ago (+/- 1 year): VL 1994 (St Louis, Missouri, USA) VL 1995 (Darmstadt, Germany) VL 1996 (Boulder, Colorado, USA) VL 1994: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/mostRecentIssue.jsp?punumber=2947 VL 1995: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/mostRecentIssue.jsp?punumber=4002 VL 1996: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/mostRecentIssue.jsp?punumber=3922 We need your help in nominating papers from either or both of these categories that have had a truly important, long-term impact on VL/HCC research or commerce. As the long-term visionary group, we think you're more likely than anyone to know of well qualified papers. Please nominate some! This is an important award to our community. It's a way to help us attain recognition for our field and for the most important works that have appeared in our conference. We hope it will also be motivational and inspiring for younger researchers. To nominate a paper, just send an email containing answers to the following questions to: vlhcc15mip at gmail.com The questions/criteria are: 1. VL full paper title and authors (must be a refereed full paper at VL, HCC, or VL/HCC -- not a keynote, not a panel, not a short paper, etc.) 2. What year did the paper appear? 3. What was the paper's big, long-term, or unique impact on VL/HCC research or commerce? 4. The paper awarded can win the award in one of these two ways: 4a. It is the only, or first, or first important paper on the influential topic. 4b. It is just one of a sequence of papers published multiple places that had a big influence on VL/HCC research or commerce. Which of the above was it -- 4a or 4b? Please explain. However, if there have been multiple communities where the work has been published, the research needs to be strongly situated in the VL/HCC community by virtue of many papers on the topic having been published at VL/HCC. Of course, the nominated paper must satisfy all the other above criteria as well. Note: Concrete evidence of impact would be very helpful (eg, Google Scholar citation counts, etc.). Deadline for nominations is: Wednesday, May 20, 2015 It would be helpful to have them earlier though.

From local to global scales, many projects have been funded delivering research and industrial innovation through reinforcing the excellence of science, speeding up the industrial leadership, and supporting the growth of new markets. These initiatives have been driving economic growth and creating employment opportunities, by addressing societal challenges, boosting productivity and securing competitiveness. The Projects Showcase event at STAF'15 (http://www.disim.univaq.it/staf2015/projects-showcase/) is dedicated to national and international projects dissemination and cooperation. The event provides the opportunity for researchers and practitioners (from both academia and industry) involved in completed, to be started or ongoing research projects related to Software Technologies - Applications and Foundations, and hence to the topics of the leading conferences federated by STAF'15 and other co-located events. The Projects Showcase welcomes contributions disseminating the objectives of the project, outcomes of specific deliverables, the final outcome of the project, as well as, advances beyond the state of the art, overall innovation potential, exploitation approach and (expected) impact, marketing value, barriers and obstacles. Thus, the Projects Showcase at STAF'15 represents a concrete opportunities for participants to share experience, ideas, on-going work, and knowledge that can lead to fruitful collaborations and cross-sectoral concertations among projects. --- Paper Organization Each submission should follow the following structure and clearly indicate: - name and acronym of the project; - source and amount of funding as well as overall total budget (if possible); - consortium of the project or involved people; - link to the official project web site (if available); - current status of the project and its duration; - brief description of the project overall; - objectives of the projects overall; - final (expected) outcomes of the project overall; - the following information (or part of): o description of the (expected) outcomes of specific work package(s); o description of the (expected) outcomes of specific task(s); o description of the (expected) outcomes of specific deliverable(s); o (expected) advances beyond the state of the art; o overall (expected) innovation potential; o exploitation approach and (expected) impact; o barriers and obstacles, and (expected) marketing value; - references to related work and related projects; --- Paper Format Each submission must be a (max) 8-pages paper formatted according to the Springer LNCS formatting instructions (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0), be in PDF, and should include the authors' names, affiliations and contact details.

Therefore, an increasing variety of heterogeneous models and languages are used in the various phases of software development. Information about a system is consequently spread across these various models with possible overlaps, redundancies, and inconsistencies. To cope with this complexity, which normally exceeds the cognitive capacity of a single individual, various approaches have been developed to re-organize information during systems development. Different approaches that allow system modelling from various perspectives or according to separate concerns focus on such diverse issues that it is difficult to compare and evaluate them. Some of them present solutions for a specific set of modelling languages or views, but make it hard to assess the applicability in other scenarios. Others provide means to define new views on models, but do not consider how redundancy-free models can be established. Goal ---- The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners with an interest in model-driven software development to foster a fruitful cross-pollination of ideas between different communities dealing with the separation and integration of views, concerns, and roles in system modelling. In break-out sessions, potential topics for scientific exchange will be elicited, possible comparison criteria will be collected, and ideas for future colaborations will be discussed. In order to provide a foundation for these discussions, we encourage submissions on new concepts, implementations or formalism as well as submissions on controversial positions, requirements for a common case-study or case-study scenarios. Submissions should contribute to investigating and discussing the benefits and drawbacks of different multi-view modelling approaches or identifying best practices. Topics ------ The workshop is interested in submissions on all topics related to model-driven development that deal with the separation and integration of different perspectives, languages, abstractions, views or concerns. More specifically, this includes: - bridging the gap between different views or metamodels, - generating, defining and evolving different views, models and metamodels, - round-trip engineering and co-evolution of different models, - composition of different views, models and metamodels, - (bidirectional) transformations of metamodels, - avoiding inconsistencies, overlap and redundancies between modelling artefacts, - using role modelling concepts for model-driven engineering, - generating models and metamodels for multiple views or formalisms, - separating and re-integrating cross-cutting concerns or model weaving, - dynamic information hiding for partial views, - coupling of software and non-software models Contributions ------------- Submissions to the workshop are possible in two categories. *Research papers* should describe original work on a problem or solution that pertains to the systematic separation or integration of models, concerns, views, or other modelling artefacts on six to eight pages. *Position papers* should present a well-defined position on how various modelling languages, viewpoints, heterogeneous subsystems, or concerns should be handled in MDE on two to four pages. All paper submissions have to adhere to the ACM SIG Proceedings Style (alternate format).

With a global scope, it aims at updating them about the most recent advances in the critical and fast developing area of information security, which covers a large spectrum of current exciting academic research and industrial innovation. It refers to procedures to defend information from unauthorized access, use, modification, recording or destruction, with a critical role to play in order to avoid or minimize risks in the digital world. Renowned academics and industry pioneers will lecture and share their views with the audience. Most information security subareas will be displayed, namely: computer security, cryptography, privacy, cyber security, mobile security, network security, world wide web security, fraud prevention, data protection, etc. Main challenges of information security will be identified through 4 keynote lectures, 30 six-hour courses, and 1 round table, which will tackle the most active and promising topics. The organizers believe outstanding speakers will attract the brightest and most motivated students. Interaction will be a main component of the event. An open session will give participants the opportunity to present their own work in progress in 5 minutes. ADDRESSED TO: Graduates and postgraduates from around the world. There are no formal pre-requisites in terms of academic degrees. However, since there will be differences in the course levels, specific background knowledge may be required for some of them. InfoSec 2015 is also appropriate for more senior people who want to keep themselves updated on recent developments and future trends. They will surely find it fruitful to listen and discuss with major researchers, industry leaders and innovators. REGIME: In addition to keynotes, 4 courses will run in parallel during the whole event. Participants will be able to freely choose the courses they will be willing to attend as well as to move from one to another. VENUE: InfoSec 2015 will take place in Bilbao, the capital of the Basque Country region, famous for its gastronomy and the seat of the Guggenheim Museum.

(4th Edition) **** EXTENDED DEADLINE **** In-Reply-To: <293180383.1113786.1430152963677.JavaMail.zimbra@loria.fr> Message-ID: <72640811.1113866.1430153001177.JavaMail.zimbra@loria.fr> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (**** EXTENDED DEADLINE ****) Call for Papers (**** EXTENDED DEADLINE ****) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- FCA4AI (Fourth Edition) -- ``What can FCA do for Artificial Intelligence?'' co-located with IJCAI 2015, Buenos Aires, Argentina 25 July-1 August 2015 http://www.fca4ai.hse.ru/2015 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- General Information. The preceding editions of the FCA4AI Workshop (ECAI 2014 Prague, IJCAI 2013 Beijing, and ECAI 2012 Montpellier) showed that many researchers working in Artificial Intelligence are indeed interested by a powerful method for classification and mining such as Formal Concept Analysis (see http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-1257/, http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-1058/, and http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-939/). This year, we have the chance to organize a new edition of the workshop in Buenos Aires at the IJCAI 2015 Conference. Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is a mathematically well-founded theory aimed at data analysis and classification. FCA allows one to build a concept lattice and a system of dependencies (implications) which can be used for many AI needs, e.g. knowledge processing involving learning, knowledge discovery, knowledge representation and reasoning, ontology engineering, and as well as information retrieval and text processing. Thus, there exist many ``natural links'' between FCA and AI. Recent years have been witnessing increased scientific activity around FCA, in particular a strand of work emerged that is aimed at extending the possibilities of FCA w.r.t. knowledge processing, such as work on pattern structures and relational context analysis. These extensions are aimed at allowing FCA to deal with more complex than just binary data, both from the data analysis and knowledge discovery point of view and from the knowledge representation point of view, including, e.g., ontology engineering. All these works extend the capabilities of FCA and offer new possibilities for AI activities in the framework of FCA. Accordingly, in this workshop, we will be interested in two main issues: - How can FCA support AI activities such as knowledge processing (knowledge discovery, knowledge representation and reasoning), learning (clustering, pattern and data mining), natural language processing, information retrieval. - How can FCA be extended in order to help AI researchers to solve new and complex problems in their domain. The workshop is dedicated to discuss such issues. TOPICS OF INTEREST include but are not limited to: - Concept lattices and related structures: description logics, pattern structures, relational structures. - Knowledge discovery and data mining with FCA: association rules, itemsets and data dependencies, attribute implications, data pre-processing, redundancy and dimensionality reduction, classification and clustering. - Knowledge engineering and ontology engineering: knowledge representation and reasoning. - Scalable algorithms for concept lattices and artificial intelligence ``in the large'' (distributed aspects, big data). - Applications of concept lattices: semantic web, information retrieval, visualization and navigation, pattern recognition. The workshop will include time for audience discussion for having a better understanding of the issues, challenges, and ideas being presented. IMPORTANT DATES: Submission deadline: May 18, 2015 (**** hard deadline ****) Notification to authors: June 15, 2015 Final version: July 1st, 2015 Workshop: July 25 or 26, 2015 (to be confirmed) SUBMISSION DETAILS: The workshop welcomes submissions in pdf format in Springer's LNCS style. Submissions can be: - technical papers not exceeding 8 pages, - system descriptions or position papers on work in progress not exceeding 4 pages Submissions are via EasyChair at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fca4ai2015 (opening soon) The workshop proceedings will be published as CEUR proceedings. A selection of the best papers presented at the workshop will be considered for a special issue of a high-level journal. WORKSHOP CHAIRS: Sergei O.

Moreover, the interplay of MDE and CBSE approaches is gaining recognition as a very promising means to boost the development of software systems by reducing costs and risks and shorten time-to-market. While several attempts to effectively combine MDE and CBSE have been documented, there are still unsolved clashes arising when exploiting interplay of MDE and CBSE, mostly due to mismatches in the related terminology as well as to differences in their basic essence. As satellite event of MODELS'15, the goal of ModComp?15 is to gather researchers and practitioners to share opinions, propose solutions to open challenges and generally explore the frontiers of interweaving between MDE and CBSE. TOPICS Solicited topics include, but are not limited to: ? Partial model reuse ? Model composition ? Model versioning ? Modelling component interaction and component behaviours ? Model extraction for componentization of legacy systems ? Component interoperability ? Management and elicitation of model interdependencies ? Model (co)evolution ? Model transformations for analysis and code generation in presence of third-party components ? Metamodel modularity ? Composition of MDE artefacts ? Enforcement of incrementality ? Case studies & applications SUBMISSION ModComp'15 welcomes research papers, experience papers and tool presentations; nevertheless, papers describing novel research contributions and innovative applications are of particular interest. Three types of submissions are solicited: Research Papers, Experience Reports, and Position Papers. ? Research papers: novel research contributions, challenging problems tackled with innovative ideas, or practical contributions in the interplay of MDE and CBSE. Long papers should clearly describe the situation or problem tackled, the relevant state of the art, the position or solution suggested and the potential benefits of the contribution. ? Experience reports: tool demonstrations, industrial experiences and case-studies. Authors of papers reporting industrial experiences are strongly encouraged to make their experimental results available for use by reviewers. Similarly, case-study papers should describe significant case-studies and the complete development should be made available for use by reviewers. Tool demonstration papers should explain enhancements made in comparison to previously published work. Authors of tool demonstration papers should make their tool available for use by reviewers. ? Position papers: well-pondered and sufficiently documented visionary papers, new ideas or early research results in one of the topics of the workshop. Contributions should represent original and previously unpublished ideas that are currently not under review in any conference or journal. Research and Experience Papers must not exceed 6 pages (including figures, appendices AND references). Position Papers must not exceed 2 pages (including figures, appendices AND references). Each submitted paper undergoes a formal peer review process by a minimum of 3 Program Committee members. Submitted papers should include authors' names, affiliations and contact information. Contributions should be uploaded using EasyChair: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=modcomp15 Papers must be in the IEEEtran format (link to templates available on the workshop?s website). Accepted papers will be published in the CEUR Workshop proceedings, which is indexed by DBLP. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop. Special issue in International Journal: We plan to organize a special issue at the Journal of Object Technology (JOT) to which the best papers from the workshop will be invited for being submitted in extended form. The extended papers would undergo a new peer-reviewing process.
