Fourth International Workshop on Dynamic Analysis (WODA 2006)
Shanghai, China
Tuesday May 23, 2006
http://www.cs.arizona.edu/~ngupta/WODA06/
Co-located with ICSE 2006
----------------------------------------------------------------
Important Dates:
Paper submission deadline: 1 February, 2006
Notification of acceptance: 1 March, 2006
Camera-ready copy due: 14 March, 2006
----------------------------------------------------------------
WODA 2006 brings together researchers and practitioners working
in all areas of dynamic analysis. Dynamic analysis techniques
reason over program executions and show promise in aiding the
development of robust and reliable large-scale systems. It has
become increasingly clear that limitations of static analysis
can be overcome by integrating static and dynamic analyses, and
that the performance and value of dynamic analysis can be
improved by static analysis. Hence, in addition to dynamic
program analysis, one key focus of the workshop will be on
hybrid analyses that involve both static and dynamic components.
WODA 2006 will be a one-day workshop structured to encourage
discussion and develop research collaborations, thus all presen-
ations will be limited to 20 minutes with additional time for
discussions. It will build on the success of WODA 2005,
WODA 2004 and WODA 2003, which were held in conjunction with
ICSE 2005, ICSE 2004 and ICSE 2003, respectively.
Prospective participants are invited to submit technical papers
up to 7 pages using ICSE2006 format guidelines. Relevant topics
include (but are not limited to) development of dynamic analysis
tools and frameworks, statistical reasoning techniques, fault
detection and debugging, analysis of program behavior, program
evolution, optimization techniques, program visualization,
testing, and remote analysis and measurement of software systems.
To promote discussion and interaction we ask the authors to
include sections on why the proposed idea might succeed and why
it might fail. We are more interested in undeveloped new and
exciting ideas than in well-developed but less innovative ideas.
Each accepted paper must have at least one author in attendance
at the workshop. Submissions will be reviewed by at least three
reviewers, with content quality, workshop relevance, and
potential to generate discussion as the deciding criteria for
acceptance.

The CBSE symposium has a track record of bringing together researchers and practitioners from a variety of disciplines to promote a better understanding of CBSE from a diversity of perspectives, and to engage in active discussion and debate. CBSE 2006 is open to all participants interested in CBSE and related areas. The symposium addresses participants from both universities and industry. Call for Papers =============== The use of software components is well-established in diverse application domains, including embedded systems, enterprise servers and distributed applications. While the theoretical underpinnings of component specification, composition, analysis and verification remain open research issues, the engineering contexts for component development are evolving. Contemporary developments such as service- oriented architectures and web services, model-driven development and= rid technologies are creating new opportunities and challenges for component-based software engineering. CBSE 2006 welcomes contributions that explore how the nature of component-based software engineering is being influenced by developments in the field of software technology. In addition to presentations of accepted papers, the symposium will incorporate working sessions based around these issues. The sessions will examine how component-based development [to do]. Each working group will be given an opportunity to present its finding in a plenary session. Paper Submissions: ================== CBSE 2006 invites two categories of submissions. Long papers (12-16 pages) describe technical contributions to CBSE in depth. This includes both research papers and experience reports. Short papers (6-8 pages) concisely describe ongoing work, new ideas, experiences, etc. Topics of interest include: - Generation and adaptation of component-based systems; - Components and model-driven development - Specification, verification, testing and checking of component systems; - Compositional reasoning techniques for component models; - Measurement and prediction models for component assemblies; - Patterns and frameworks for component-based systems; - Extra-functional system properties of components and component-=20 based systems; - Static and execution-based measurement of system properties; - Assurance and certification of components and component-based systems; - Components for service-oriented architectures, web services and grid systems - Development environment and tools for building component-based systems; - Components for real-time, secure, safety critical and/or embedded systems; - Case studies and experience reports. All submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three program committee members (four for papers with an author on the program committee). Papers must not have been previously published or concurrently submitted elsewhere. Any duplicate submissions will be rejected without review. As with previous events, we are currently negotiating to have the proceeding published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/index.html Details on using the electronic paper submission system and formatting instructions will appear on the CBSE web site by January 1st 2006. As always, the symposium seeks reports on innovative contributions to the science and technology of CBSE. Papers describing practical experience with CBSE in high-assurance or performance-critical systems are of particular interest.
