CALL FOR PAPERS
REFLECTION 2001
The Third International Conference on
Metalevel Architectures and Separation of Crosscutting Concerns
Kyoto, Japan
September 26-28, 2001
* PAPER DEADLINE: March 15th, 2001 *
http://www.is.titech.ac.jp/reflection2001/
Sponsored by
Japan Society for Software Science and Technology (JSSST)
Association Internationale pour les Technologies Objets (AITO)
In Cooperation with (planned, subject to formal approvals)
Information Processing Society of Japan (IPSJ)
ACM SIGPLAN, SIGSOFT
OBJECTIVES
Metalevel architectures and reflection have attracted the attention of
researchers and practitioners throughout computer science. Reflective
and metalevel techniques are being used to address real-world problems
in such areas as: programming languages, operating systems, databases,
distributed computing, expert systems and web computing.
Reflection and related technologies like, AOP and SOP, have proven to
be powerful tools for improving the separation of concerns in complex
systems. Systems built using these technologies can have better
modularity than systems built using object-oriented or procedural
programming alone.
Separation of concerns has been a guiding principle of software
engineering for nearly 30 years, but it's known benefits are seldom
fully achieved in practice. This is primarily because traditional
mechanisms for separating concerns into modules and then composing
those modules into systems are not powerful enough to handle the many
kinds of concerns that occur in practice. Over the last 10 years, this
problem has attracted the attention of many researchers, including
several from the reflection community, who have proposed approaches,
including uses of reflection, to overcoming these limitations. For the
first time, papers on advanced approaches to separation of concerns
are explicitly solicited, so that this conference will also provide an
opportunity for researchers in this growing area to discuss recent
developments.
Following the success of two previous conferences, Reflection'96 in
San Francisco (online proceedings available at
http://www.parc.xerox.com/reflection96), and Reflection'99 in Saint
Malo (proceedings available as Springer LNCS 1616), this conference
will provide an opportunity for researchers with a broad range of
interests in metalevel architectures, reflective techniques, and
separation of concerns in general.
THEMES
Papers are solicited on topics including, but not limited to:
1. Systems and applications with a reflective architecture and/or
designed with strong separation of concerns
- Operating systems/Middleware
- Concurrent /Distributed/Parallel/Mobile systems
- Networking/Internet/Web/Collaboration
- Embedded/Fault-tolerant systems
- Databases/Expert Systems
- AI and knowledge-based systems/Agents
2. Programming Languages
- Programming languages for reflection and/or separation of concerns
(OO, functional, parallel, distributed, etc.)
- Implementation techniques (open compilers, specializers, weavers,
interpreters, analysis techniques, etc.)
3. Software Engineering
- Metaobject protocols
- Programming methodologies and environments
- Metamodels (UML, CORBA, etc.)
- Formal methods
- Safety and security issues
4. Separation of Concerns
- Mechanisms for handling crosscutting concerns and/or multiple kinds
of concerns (adaptive programming, aspect-oriented programming,
composition filters, multi-dimensional separation of concerns, etc.)
- The use of reflection for achieving improved separation of concerns
- Language and environment support
- Specification, verification and analysis of concerns and their
compositions
- Conceptual and theoretical foundations
- Case studies
5. Foundations of reflection and/or separation of concerns
- Conceptual and theoretical foundations
- Language semantics
PAPER SUBMISSION
All submissions, acknowledgements, notifications, etc. will be done
electronically. Manuscripts should preferably be prepared using the
LNCS format (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html) for
submission. Paper length should be less than 5000 words, excluding
figures, tables, and references. Papers exceeding this limit will not
be reviewed.
The program committee will select papers based on standard scientific
grounds and merits such as technical novelity, correctness, technical
interest and utility to the community, etc. Case Study/Experience
papers will be judged on generality and utility of the feedback
provided to the community.
A paper may either be accepted in full form, as a short paper, or
recommended as a poster presentation. A short paper will have shorter
page allowance in the proceedings. Also, it could be given a shorter
presentation slot during the conference.
Please refer to the conference web page for submission details
POSTERS
Posters will be separately solicited for a poster presentation slot in
the conference. Additionally, as stated above, a submitted paper may
be recommended for acceptance as a poster presentation. Each poster
will have a page abstract in the proceedings if publication deadline
permits.
PROCEEDINGS PUBLICATIONS
We have approval from Springer to publish the proceedings of
Reflection 2001 in the series "Lecture Notes in Computer Science". As
noted above the proceedings of Reflection '99 has been published as
volume no. 1616.
LOCATION
Kyoto was the capital of Japan for 1000 years, and still retains the
atmosphere of the old cultures fostered therein. For more information
refer to the official web page of city of Kyoto
(http://www.city.kyoto.jp/koho/index_e.html). The conference cite is
the ASTEM research institute, which is located in the midst of the city.
