The 15th International Conference on Software Reuse (ICSR 2016)
June 5-7, 2016, St. Raphael Resort, Limassol, Cyprus
http://cyprusconferences.org/icsr2016/
Submission Deadline: 28th January 2016
For decades the International Conference on Software Reuse (ICSR) has been
the premier event in the field of software reuse research and technology. The
main goal of ICSR is to present the most recent advances and breakthroughs
in the area of software reuse and to promote an intensive and continuous
exchange among researchers and practitioners. The 15th International
Conference on Software Reuse (ICSR 2016) will be held on June 5-7 2016, in
Cyprus.
The guiding theme of ICSR 2016 is:
Software reuse: bridging with social-awareness
Development online social networks are gaining ground lately with software
engineers participating in different fora collaborating and exchanging ideas
and expertise. Software reuse needs to utilize, but also strengthen, this new
form of synergies that can be built among engineers. ICSR special theme
aims to bring this aspect in software reuse by raising social-awareness,
strengthening the existing platforms and tools, and utilizing the vast
software information that exists in development social networks.
Amongst the numerous important challenges we identified the following
major topics for research focusing on reuse with social-awareness:
? Social network interactions between developers to support software reuse
? Utilization of online social development tools for software reuse
? Software reuse to enhance social-awareness
? Trust, security and semantic issues of social aspects of software reuse
Beyond those novel challenges for software reuse, we solicit submissions
dealing with all aspects of software reuse, including, but not limited to the
following ones:
? Domain analysis and modelling
? Asset search and retrieval
? Architecture-centric reuse approaches
? Component-based reuse
? Service-oriented architectures
? COTS-based development and reuse of open source assets
? Generative development
? Domain-specific languages
? Software composition and modularization
? Model-driven development
? Reengineering for reuse
? Software product line techniques
? Quality assurance for software reuse, such as testing and verification
? Reuse of non-code artifacts (process, experience, etc.)
? Economic models of reuse
? Benefit and risk analysis, scoping
? Legal and managerial aspects of reuse
? Transition to software reuse
? Industrial experience with reuse
? Light-weight reuse approaches
? Agile reuse
? Software evolution and reuse
? Reuse for mobile and ubiquitous applications
CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
ICSR 2016 invites proposals for one-day and half-day workshops to be
hosted in conjunction with the conference. Since software reuse is pervasive
in all aspects of software development, workshops on a variety of topics
including, but not limited to those listed above may be appropriate.
Submissions in the area of the conference's main topic will receive
preferential treatment.
Workshop proposals are limited to 3 pages in length. The proposal should
include the following information:
? A title of the workshop
? Names of organizers and their affiliations
? A summary of workshop objectives
? A statement of why the workshop would be of interest to potential ICSR
attendees
? A description of the qualifications of the organizers to host the workshop
? A preliminary schedule for the workshop
? Your estimates on number of interested attendees
? Any past experience with hosting such workshops
? Any special workshop requirements
? A one-page Workshop CFP (such as the one the organizers would send out
to invite attendees).
Please email your workshop proposals to Tommi Mikkonen (tjm-AT-cs.tut.fi).
Proposals are reviewed as they are received on a first come first served basis.
Workshop descriptions and associated papers will be part of the conference
post-proceedings. Springer will be contacted for potential inclusion in the
Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS) series
(http://www.springer.com/series/7899).
CALL FOR TUTORIAL PROPOSALS
ICSR 2016 invites submissions for tutorial proposals. The purpose of the
tutorial program is to provide participants with the opportunity to expand
their software reuse knowledge and skills. Tutorials may focus on well-
established or cutting-edge topics, particularly welcome are those
consistent with ICSR 2016 theme, and in general the ones concerning
software reuse as listed in the CFP.
Proposals for tutorials are limited to 3 pages and should include:
? The tutorial title and keywords
? The tutorial length (half or full day)
? Presenter information (short bio)
? Tutorial description, history (if a similar tutorial was given before by the
presenters)
? Presentation format/method including technical requirements (beamer,
whiteboards, etc.)
Please email your tutorial proposals to Tommi Mikkonen (tjm-AT-cs.tut.fi).
Tutorial proposals are reviewed as they are received on a first come first
served basis.
Tutorial descriptions will not appear in the ICSR Proceedings, but all speakers
can have any relevant materials posted on the ICSR web site.
DOCTORAL SYMPOSIUM CALL FOR PAPERS
The goal of the Doctoral Symposium is to provide a forum for doctoral
students working in the area of software reuse (or in areas closely related to
reuse) to discuss their proposed thesis. Students will get feedback on their
work from the Symposium Expert Panelists, and will be able to attend regular
ICSR sessions. Participants will present their work highlighting the main
research challenges, solution directions, results obtained thus far, evaluation
plan, and research plan towards the completion of the Ph.D. studies.
Presentation - limited to twenty minutes - should be supported by slides.
An Expert Panel composed of software reuse researchers will provide
feedback to help students shape their work.
There will be an award for the most promising idea for original research.
The winner will be selected based on the submitted paper, presentation and
discussions.
Accepted papers will be published (probably at CEUR, http://ceur-ws.org).
Submission Instructions
Currently registered doctoral students are invited to submit their proposal
for participation in the Doctoral Symposium, provided they have already
selected a research topic and outlined the research plan in some detail. The
event serves as an opportunity to receive early feedback on a thesis topic or
later feedback to help tune a dissertation.
To be considered, a student should submit a research papers and his/her
supervisor should submit a recommendation letter as follows:
The research paper should be written in the style of the thesis proposal,
addressing the research problem description and its importance (who will
benefit from the solution and how), research challenges, research approach,
related work (highlight the novelty of your approach), results to date, plans
for evaluation, and references.
Please indicate on the top of the front page: your name, the date (month/year)
that you started your Ph.D., the expected defense date (month/year), and the
name of your advisor.
The paper is limited to 4 pages in length and must conform to Springer's
Lecture Notes in Computer Science format.
Submit the paper directly to the symposium chair Maurizio Morisio
(maurizio.morisio-AT-polito.it), with subject "ICSR DS Symposium Proposal".
Recommendation letter: A thesis advisor should e-mail a brief
recommendation letter directly to the symposium chair Maurizio Morisio,
with subject "ICSR DS Symposium Recommendation Letter".
An Expert Panel will evaluate all submissions and accepted proposals will be
presented at the ICSR Doctoral Symposium. It is important to notice that the
person that will present an accepted paper must be the doctoral student,
author of the paper. Professors and colleagues are not allowed to present
papers on behalf of the doctoral student.
CALL FOR TOOL DEMONSTRATIONS
The ICSR Tool Demonstrations enable industry and academic researchers to
share their ideas and present the state of the art and practice in Software
Reuse. ICSR 2016 presents an excellent opportunity for researchers and
professional software engineers to present their working tools and systems
to the Software Reuse community.
Submission Instructions
We invite proposals for tool demonstrations on any topics related to
software reuse. Tools suggesting their reuse recommendations directly in
IDEs (such as Eclipse etc.) are especially welcome.
All selected tools will be presented during the conference in two ways:
? A formal lecture-style presentation session
? An informal demo session where individuals can walk around, ask specific
questions, and interact with the tools.
Accepted tool demonstrations will be part of the conference proceedings.
Submissions should not exceed 4 pages and must conform to Springer's
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
(http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-...)
format. Proposals for tool demonstrations should be sent to Frederik Kramer
at frederik.kramer-AT-initos.com. Authors should share their tools and include
