THE 18TH INTERNATIONAL ACM SIGSOFT SYMPOSIUM ON COMPONENT BASED
SOFTWARE ENGINEERING (CBSE 2015)

Montreal, Canada, May 4 to May 8, 2015

http://cbse-conferences.org/2015/

CBSE is an ACM SIGSOFT (http://www.sigsoft.org/) event, part of the CompArch
federated conference series -- see at
http://comparch2015.org/ for more information.

SUBMISSION DEADLINES
The following deadlines are intended to be relative to the UMT/GMT time 
zone.

Abstract submission deadline: December 14, 2014
Papers submission deadline: December 21, 2014

GOALS
Component-based Software Engineering (CBSE) continues to attract 
interest and
evolve as a discipline for the rapid assembly of flexible software systems.
CBSE combines elements of software requirements engineering, architecture,
design, verification, testing, configuration and deployment. The CBSE
symposium has an established track record of bringing together 
researchers and
practitioners from a variety of disciplines to promote a better 
understanding
of CBSE from diverse perspectives, and to engage in active discussion and
debate. CBSE 2015 is open to all participants from universities and industry
interested in CBSE and related areas.

SCOPE
The CBSE symposium has emerged as the flagship research event for the
component community. CBSE 2015 encompasses research (both theoretical and
applied) that extends the state-of-the-art in component specification,
composition, analysis, testing, and verification. Experience reports,
empirical studies and presentation of component-based benchmarks and case
studies are also within scope. Participants from industry and academia have
the opportunity to exchange ideas and experiences in a variety of sessions
involving invited and technical presentations, posters, and panels.

New trends in global services, distributed and cloud-based systems
architectures, dynamically adaptable systems, and large-scale software 
systems
often cross organizational boundaries and push the limits of established
component-based methods, tools and platforms. Innovative solutions from
diverse paradigms (e.g., service-, aspect-, and agent-oriented) are 
needed to
address these emerging trends.

MAIN TOPICS
Topics of interest for CBSE 2015 therefore include, but are not limited 
to, the
following:

  * Specification, architecture, and design of component models and 
component-based systems
  * Software quality assurance for component-based engineering
  * Verification, testing and certification of component-based systems
  * Component composition, binding, and dynamic adaptation
  * Formal methods for automated component composition and integration
  * Component-based engineering with agents, aspects, or services
  * Component-based product line engineering
  * Non-functional properties (quality of service attributes) in 
component-based engineering
  * Patterns and frameworks for component-based engineering
  * Tools and methods for component-based engineering
  * Industrial experience using component-based software development
  * Empirical studies in component-based software engineering
  * Teaching component-based software engineering
  * Migration to and evolution of component-based software systems

SPECIAL THEME: Components for physical services
Software systems increasingly control processes which reside outside
traditional computing devices. These processes are constrained by physical
laws. Examples of such systems are smart grids to control energy 
distribution,
autonomous vehicles which drive without driver interaction and 
coordinate with
other cars to avoid traffic jams, or robot fleets which are deployed in 
search
and rescue missions. All these systems became only feasible because of their
software parts which relieve humans from interactions. However, such systems
are also often mission or safety critical and hence have to comply to strict
quality requirements. Component-based software development allows to 
keep the
increased complexity and analysability due to the interaction with the
physical world in manageable ranges due to encapsulation and strict 
interface
focus. Such encapsulation allows to verify the properties of single 
components
and then reason on the properties of their composition independently.

PAPER SUBMISSION

Papers will be evaluated by at least three members of the Program Committee.
They should be in ACM format 
(http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates
- please use the Option 2 template, i.e., the Tighter Alternate style) and
describe, in English, original work that has not been published or submitted
elsewhere. PDF versions of papers should be submitted through the CBSE 2015
EasyChair web site:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cbse2015

We solicit two categories of papers:

  * Regular papers, not exceeding 10 pages (including appendices), 
describing
    fully developed work. Authors of papers reporting experimental work 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.
  * Short papers of a maximum of 6 pages should describe novel ideas 
that have
    not been fully evaluated, or operational tools and their 
contributions. Tool
    papers should explain enhancements made compared to previously published
    work. Authors of tools papers should make their tool available for 
use by
    reviewers.

PUBLICATION
Accepted papers will be published in the ACM digital library. A paper 
must be
personally presented at the CBSE 2015 conference by one of the authors in
order to appear in the proceedings. The best contribution of the conference
will receive the ACM SIGSOFT Distinguished Paper Award, given by the ACM
Special Interest Group on Software Engineering.
