Topics of Interest
While the theme of the Early Aspects Workshop at AOSD 2008 is early aspects and software product lines, paper submissions on other early aspect topics are also welcome. Topics of interest specifically related to the current theme include but are not limited to:
- Techniques for representing and analyzing aspect-oriented software product lines during requirements engineering activities as well as architectural design
- Integration of early aspects into existing methodologies for software product lines
- Composition and interference of features in aspect-oriented software product lines
- Validation of aspect-oriented software product lines at the requirements stage and architectural design stage
- Traceability of aspect-oriented software product lines from the requirements stage to later stages in the software development cycle
- Extraction and evolution of aspect-oriented software product lines
- Experience reports on case studies about aspect-oriented software product lines
- Tool support for aspect-oriented software product lines
Topics may also include broader issues related to early aspects in requirements engineering, domain engineering, and software architecture design:
- Identification, representation, and modeling of early aspects
- Composition techniques for early aspects
- Traceability and mapping of early aspects to later software development activities
- Reasoning about conflicts among early aspects
- Integration of early aspect techniques with other modeling techniques such as goals, viewpoints, and use cases
- Tool support and automation for early aspect
- Formalisms and notations for specifying early aspects
