Software Composition: 7th International Symposium, SC 2008, Budapest, Hungary, March 29-30, 2008. Proceedings: 4954 (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) - Softcover

Reseña del editor

The goal of the International Symposia on Software Composition is to advance the state of the research in component-based software development. We focus on the challenges related to component development, reuse, veri?cation and, of course,composition.Softwarecompositionisbecomingmoreandmoreimportant as innovation in software engineering shifts from the development of individual components to their reuse and recombination in novel ways. To this end, for the 2008 edition, researchers were solicited to contribute on topics related to component adaptation techniques, composition languages, calculi and type systems, as well as emerging composition techniques such as aspect-oriented programming, service-oriented architectures, and mashups. In line with previous editions of SC, contributions were sought focusing on both theory and practice, with a particular interest in e?orts relating them. This LNCS volume contains the proceedings of the 7th International S- posium on Software Composition, which was held on March 29-30, 2008, as a satellite event of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software (ETAPS), in Budapest, Hungary. We received 90 initial submissions from all over the world, out of which 70 were considered for evaluation by a Program Committee consisting of 30 - ternational experts. Among these submissions, we selected 13 long papers and 6 short papers to be included in the proceedings and presented at the conf- ence. Each paper went through a thoroughrevisionprocess and was reviewedby three to ?ve reviewers. This ensured the necessary quality for publishing these proceedings in time for the event, a ?rst in the history of the symposium.

Reseña del editor

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 7th International Symposium on Software Composition, SC 2008, held in Budapest, Hungary, in March 2008. The symposium was organized as a satellite event of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software, ETAPS 2008.

The 13 revised full papers and 6 revised short papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement from 90 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on composition languages, composition middleware, service composition, performance optimization, applications, and aspect-oriented programming.
