CALL FOR PAPERS
FOCLASA 2009 is a satellite workshop of the 36th International Colloquium on
Automata, Languages and Programming (ICALP'09). The workshop will be held on July
11th, 2009. The workshop tries to provide a venue where researchers and
practitioners on the topics above can meet, exchange ideas and problems, identify
some of the key and fundamental issues related to coordination languages and
software architecture, and explore together and disseminate solutions.
FOCLASA 2009 invites the submission of technical papers in any of the topics of
interest and areas listed below. Submissions must describe authors' original
research work and their results. Description of work-in-progress is also
encouraged. The contributions should not exceed 15 pages formatted according to
the style of the Electronic Notes on Theoretical Computer Science (ENTCS), and
should be submitted as PostScript (PS) or Portable Document Format (PDF) files
using the submission link.
All submissions will be reviewed by an international program committee that will
select them for presentation in the workshop. Selected papers will be available
through the workshop website, and a printed version of the proceedings will be
distributed among participants during the workshop. The proceedings of the
workshop will be published in Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science
(ENTCS).
Participants will make a presentation of their papers (about twenty or twenty
five minutes maximum), followed by a five to ten minutes round of questions and
discussion on participants' work. The workshop will also include a closing panel
in which several issues related to the topics of the workshop and some issues
raised during the workshop will be discussed. The Panel Chair will invite the
panelists and moderate the debate.
The publication of a special issue on FOCLASA 2009 in an international scientific
journal is also being prepared. Selected participants will be invited to submit
an extended version of their papers after the workshop. These extended versions
will be reviewed by an international program committee, which will decide on
their final publication on the special issue. Previous editions of FOCLASA have
been published on Fundamenta Informaticae and Science of Computer Programming.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
* Theoretical models (coordination, component and service composition,
concurrency, semantics, expressiveness)
* Specification, refinement, and analysis of software systems (architectures,
patterns and styles, verification of functional and non-functional
properties)
* Languages for interaction, coordination, architectures, and interface
definition (implementation, interoperability, heterogeneity)
* Dynamic software architectures (mobile agents, self-organizing / adaptive /
reconfigurable systems)
* Tools and environments for the development of applications
In particular, practice, experience and methodologies from the following areas
are solicited as well: Web Services; Multi-agent systems; Peer-to-peer systems;
Grid computing; Component-based systems.
