other students, to identify new research ideas, and to present results
to other researchers.

*** Student Grants for AOSD Registration ***

We are happy to announce that AOSD Europe will fund up to 10 grants
supporting student registrations for MODULARITY: aosd 2012. We target
a balanced mix of European countries and select students based on
received applications (a short motivation letter with no more than
250 words).

Please note: The grants are limited to students from European
universities (independent of nationality). A grant includes 250€
that will only be reimbursed after a student has registered for
the full conference (350€).

Please, apply for a grant by e-mail (students@aosd.net) until
February 20th, 2012.

=======================================================================
Student Forum / Spring School (full-day) - Sunday March 25th
=======================================================================

The Student Forum will take place on the Sunday preceding the
conference to allow students to meet other students before the main
conference begins. As in previous years, the Student Forum will be an
interactive format that allows students to interact brainstorm
innovative ways that AOSD research interests intersect. Students will
also have the opportunity to hear from and ask questions of domain
experts both in a panel and small group settings.

=======================================================================

Modularity transcending traditional abstraction boundaries is essential
for developing complex modern systems, particularly software and
software-intensive systems. Aspect-oriented and other new forms of
modularity and abstraction are attracting significant attention across
many domains, both within and beyond computer science. As the premier
international conference on modularity, AOSD continues to advance our
understanding of separation of concerns, modularity, and abstraction in
the broadest senses of these terms.

The 2012 AOSD conference will comprise Research Results and Modularity
Visions. Both categories invited full, scholarly papers of the highest
quality on new ideas and results in areas that included but were not
limited to complex systems, software engineering, languages, cyber-
physical systems, and other areas across the whole system life cycle.

Research Results papers contribute significant new research results
with rigorous and substantial validation of specific technical claims
based on scientifically sound reflections on experience, analysis, or
experimentation.

Modularity Visions papers present compelling new ideas in modularity,
including strong cases for significance, novelty, validity, and
potential impact based on thorough scholarly argumentation and early
results.

A summary of the program is provided below.

Please consult  <http://aosd.net/2012> for details and
up-to-date information.

We invite you to attend MODULARITY: aosd 2012!

---------------------------------------------------

MODULARITY: aosd.2012, March 25-30, 2012
Hasso-Plattner-Institut Potsdam, Germany
http://aosd.net/2012/

Important Dates
---------------
Demonstration proposals due: Monday, January 9th, 2012
Notification: Monday, January 30th, 2012

Overview
--------
Demonstrations serve to disseminate advances embodied in
research-oriented tools and systems that use or support AOSD.
Attendees learn about emerging technologies and have opportunities to
interact with their developers. Presenters gain excellent
opportunities to increase the visibility and impact of their work.
AOSD.12 solicits high quality proposals for its demonstration track.
Demonstrations can range across commercial, academic, and corporate
research systems.

Demonstrations will be selected on the basis of technical merit,
novelty, relevance to the AOSD community, and feasibility of
presentation. The presentation should be focused on technical content
and given by the technical members of the team.

There are two types of demonstrations: Forum demos and Tabletop demos.
The intent is to split demos into those that can be shown without a
formal presentation and those that require one.

In Tabletop demos, the presenter is seated at a table, and is
surrounded by a number of chairs for attendants. There is no
conceptual introduction, instead the demonstration starts with showing
the tool itself. This form of demonstration is especially suited for
extensions to tools which are well known, as no introduction is
needed, or for demos where more interaction with the audience is
expected, as the setting is more intimate. Tabletop demos are
allocated 30 minutes, with 20 minutes for the demonstration and 10
minutes for questions and discussion. Authors of regular research
papers are also welcome to submit accompanying demonstrations.

Forum demos start with a conceptual introduction of about 10 minutes
before the tool itself is demonstrated. This form of demos is suited
for tools which are not well-known or new, or have been significantly
extended in recent times. A Forum demo is allocated 45 minutes, with
10 minutes for a presentation, 25 minutes for the demonstration and 10
minutes for questions and discussion. Every demonstration will be
scheduled twice for presentation. Also, demonstration presenters will
have the opportunity to give a 1-minute overview of their
demonstration during a conference plenary session.

There will also be space set aside where any conference attendee can
give an informal demonstration. Demonstrations included in the program
are also allowed and encouraged to be presented informally.

Topics of Interest
------------------
Topics of interest include (though are not limited to):
* support for application of the aspect-oriented paradigm throughout
the development life-cycle,
* new technologies for aspect weaving/compilation,
* reverse engineering of aspects from existing software artifacts,
* reusable library aspects,
* interesting applications of AOSD

Submission Guidelines
---------------------
The following information is required for a demonstration/exhibition
submission:

* Demonstration title
* Type of demonstration (Forum or Tabletop)
* Name, email, address, and phone number of the contact person
* Names and affiliations of the other presenters
* A short bio of all presenters
* Description including:
 - Problems addressed
 - Relevance to AOSD
 - Uniqueness of design and implementation
 - Underlying implementation techniques and technologies used
 - Relation to other industrial or research efforts
 - A description with screenshots (or optionally a movie) of what
the audience will see
A 200 word abstract for advertising the demonstration/exhibition on
the conference web site
Hardware and presentation requirements

Proposals for demonstrations/exhibitions should not exceed four pages
(excluding the screenshots) in either ASCII (plain or HTML) or Adobe
Portable Document Format (PDF).

How to Submit
-------------
Proposals should be submitted by email to the Demonstrations Chairs
(Carl Friedrich Bolz and Damien Cassou,) at demos at aosd.net. The
Demonstration Chairs will confirm receipt of the submission.

Call for ACM STUDENT RESEARCH COMPETITION at "MODULARITY: AOSD 2012"

Important Dates
---------------
Due Date: NEW DEADLINE Sunday, October 23th, 2011 (23:59 Samoan time)
Notification date: Friday, November 11th, 2011

AOSD is hosting an ACM SIGPLAN Student Research Competition. The
competition, sponsored by Microsoft Research, is an
internationally-recognized venue that enables undergraduate and graduate
students to experience the research world, share their research results with
other students and AOSD attendees, and compete for prizes. The ACM SIGPLAN
Student Research Competition shares the Poster session's goal to facilitate
students' interaction with researchers and industry practitioners; providing
both sides with the opportunity to learn of ongoing, current research.
Additionally, the Student Research Competition affords students with
experience with both formal presentations and evaluations.

Competition
-----------
Students submit a proposal that follows the requirements for a poster
proposal. Submissions must be original work that is neither in submission
nor already published at AOSD or another conference or journal. Student
Research Competition submissions will be simultaneously considered as poster
submissions. Students who are not selected to participate in the Student
Research Competition will be considered for the poster event.

The submission should describe:

- The research problem and motivation
- Background and related work
- Approach and uniqueness
- Results and contributions

Submissions should not exceed 800 words and must be in ACM SIGPLAN
Proceedings format.

Submissions are reviewed by a panel of experts, and are evaluated based upon
the following criteria:

- Quality of work
- Novelty of approach
- Significance of contribution
- Clarity of written presentation

A maximum of 20 students (10 undergraduates, 10 graduates) will be selected
to participate in the Student Research Competition at AOSD 2011. Students
whose submissions are accepted to participate in the competition are
entitled to a stipend for their travel expenses, up to a maximum of US$500.

At the conference, the first round of the competition evaluates the research
during a poster presentation. The poster presentation is evaluated based on
two facets:

- The presentation of the research, including the visual aspects of
   the poster and the student's oral discussion.
- The research, specifically its quality, novelty, and the
   significance of the contribution.

Based on the results from the poster session, the judges will select
students to advance to the second round of the competition.

During the second round of the competition, students give a 10-minute
presentation of their research, followed by a five-minute question and
answer period. The presentation is evaluated by a panel of judges, and the
top three winners in each category are selected. The top three winners in
each category will receive prizes of US$500, US$300, and US$200,
respectively.

After the conference, the winners from each category will advance to the ACM
Grand Finals of the Student Research Competition, where all SIG conference
contest winners are evaluated.

Prizes
------
The top three winners at AOSD 2012 in each category (undergraduate and
graduate) will receive prizes of US$500, US$300, and US$200, respectively.
All winners also receive an award certificate and two-year complimentary ACM
membership with a subscription to ACM's Digital Library. Winners will be
recognized during the conference. These winners will also go on to compete
in the ACM Student Research Competition Grand Finals with winners from other
ACM conferences.

Competition Requirements
------------------------
Participants must be undergraduates or graduate students pursuing an
academic degree at the time of initial submission. The contest has two
categories, one for undergraduate research and the other for graduate
research. Three winners will be selected in each category. Research
completed while the student was an undergraduate may be submitted to the
undergraduate category even if the student is now a first-year graduate
student. Participants must provide a signed letter from their academic
supervisor confirming that they are registered as a full-time student and
that at least 50% of their working week is spent following an academic
course of study. Additionally, participants must be current members of the
ACM, and must provide their ACM member number.

Although the ACM and AOSD recognize the importance of collaborative
research, the Student Research Competition is meant to be an opportunity for
junior students to develop their skills as researchers and to give them an
opportunity to showcase their work. One of the goals of the program is to
focus on the student, their capabilities as a researcher, and their
potential. As such, only individual research projects will be considered for
the Student Research Competition. Supervisors of the work may not be listed
as co-authors; you must submit a single-authored version of your work for
the competition.

Organization: LCC
Subject: [ecoop-info] MODULARITY: aosd.2012 - Call for Papers -- Research
	Results -- 3rd and last submission round


*** AOSD 2012 ***

March 25-30, 2012
Hasso-Plattner-Institut Potsdam, Germany
http://aosd.net/2012/

Call for Papers -- Research Results

Modularity transcending traditional abstraction boundaries is
essential for developing complex modern systems - particularly
software and software-intensive systems. Aspect-oriented and other new
forms of modularity and abstraction are attracting a great deal
attention across many domains within and beyond computer science. As
the premier international conference on modularity, AOSD continues to
advance our knowledge and understanding of separation of concerns,
modularity, and abstraction in the broadest senses of these terms.

The 2012 AOSD conference will comprise two main events: "Research
Results" and "Modularity Visions". Both events invite full, scholarly
papers of the highest quality on new ideas and results in areas that
include but are not limited to complex systems, software design and
engineering, programming languages, cyber-physical systems, and other
areas across the whole system life cycle.

Research Results papers are expected to contribute significant new
research results with rigorous and substantial validation of specific
technical claims based on scientifically sound reflections on
experience, analysis, or experimentation.

Modularity Visions papers (solicited in a separate call) are expected
to present compelling new ideas in modularity, including strong cases
for significance, novelty, validity, and potential impact based on
thorough scholarly argumentation and early results.

AOSD 2012 is deeply committed to eliciting works of the highest
caliber by employing a new approach to reviewing with three separate
paper submission deadlines and review stages. A paper accepted in any
round will be published in the proceedings and presented at the
conference. A paper rejected in an early round may be invited to be
revised and resubmitted for review by the same reviewers in a later
round. There is no guarantee that a revised paper will be accepted.
Authors may, on their own initiative, resubmit a rejected work in a
subsequent round, in which case new reviewers may be appointed.
Authors submitting a revised paper should attach a letter explaining
the revisions made to it.

Topics

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

* Complex systems: Modularity has emerged as a vital theme in many
domains, from biology to economics to engineered systems to software
and software-intensive systems, and beyond. AOSD 2012 invites works
that explore and establish connections across such disciplinary
boundaries.
* Software design and engineering: Requirements and domain
engineering; architecture; synthesis; evolution; metrics and
evaluation; economics; testing analysis and verification; semantics;
composition and interference; traceability; methodology; patterns.
* Programming languages: Language design; compilation and
interpretation; verification and static program analysis; formal
languages and calculi; execution environments and dynamic weaving;
dynamic and scripting languages; domain-specific languages and other
support for new forms of abstraction.
* Varieties of modularity: Context orientation; feature orientation;
model-driven development; generative programming; software product
lines; traits; meta-programming and reflection; contracts and
components; view-based development.
* Tools: Aspect mining; evolution and reverse engineering;
crosscutting views; refactoring.
* Applications: Data-intensive computing; distributed and concurrent
systems; middleware; service-oriented computing systems;
cyber-physical systems; networking; cloud computing; pervasive
computing; runtime verification; computer systems performance; system
health monitoring and the enforcement of non-functional properties.

Instructions for Authors

Submissions to AOSD Research Results will be carried out
electronically via CyberChair. (Modularity Visions and Research
Results will have separate CyberChair URLs.) All papers must be
submitted in PDF format. Submissions must be no longer than 12 pages
(including bibliography, figures, and appendices) in SIGPLAN
Proceedings Format (http://www.sigplan.org/authorInformation.htm), 10
point font. Note that by default the SIGPLAN Proceedings Format
produces papers in 9 point font. If you are formatting your paper
using Latex, you will need to set the 10pt option in the
\documentclass command. If you are formatting your paper using Word,
you may wish to use the provided Word template that provides support
for this font size. Please include page numbers in your submission.
Setting the preprint option in the \documentclass command generates
page numbers. Please also ensure that your submission is legible when
printed on a black and white printer. In particular, please check that
colors remain distinct and font sizes are legible.

The submission URL for the Research Results track is:
http://cyberchairpro.borbala.net/aosdpapers/submit/

The submission deadline, length limitations, and formatting
instructions are firm: any submissions that deviate from these may be
rejected without review by the program chairs. Submitted papers must
adhere to SIGPLAN's republication policy.

Each paper should contain an explanation of its contributions in both
general and technical terms, clearly identifying what has been
accomplished, explaining why it is significant, and placing it in the
context of relevant prior work. Where appropriate, systems and
experimental data should be made available on the Web. Authors should
make the technical content of their papers understandable to a broad
but technically sophisticated audience.

Publication

Accepted papers will be published by the ACM in the main AOSD 2012
conference proceedings and will appear in the ACM Digital Library.
Authors of accepted papers are expected to revise their papers in
light of reviewers' comments, and to provide camera-ready versions of
the papers by the camera-ready deadline. All authors will also be
required to sign the standard ACM copyright form.

Modularity Visions Track – Call for Papers
------------------------------------------

Modularity properties are key determinants of quality in information
systems, software, and system production processes. Modularity influences
system diversity, dependability, performance, evolution, the structure and
the dynamics of the organizations that produce systems, human understanding
and management of systems, and ultimately system value.

Yet the nature of and possibilities for modularity, limits to modularity,
the mechanisms needed to achieve it in given forms, and its costs and
benefits remain poorly understood. Significant advances in modularity thus
are possible and promise to yield breakthroughs in our ability to conceive,
design, develop, validate, integrate, deploy, operate and evolve modern
information systems and their underlying software artifacts.

The Modularity Visions track of AOSD 2012 (MV) seeks papers presenting
compelling insights into modularity in information systems, including its
nature, forms, mechanisms, consequences, limits, costs and benefits. Rather
than ex post results, MV seeks promising ex ante proposals for future work.
The scope of MV is broad: open to submissions from all areas of computer
science, as well as from other fields.

Reviewing Process
------------------
Reviewing will be based on norms applied to peer-reviewed proposals to
programs that demand breakthrough potential. Papers must be well written,
present new perspectives on, or approaches to, important problems, formulate
clear hypotheses justified by analysis or results from preliminary work,
evaluate potential significance and risks, articulate how progress can be
evaluated, and discuss related and required future work.

MV will use a two-phase review process. Each paper will first be reviewed by
at least two members of the program committee (PC). Any paper receiving at
least one positive review will be reviewed by at least one more PC member.
The PC will then recommend acceptance, rejection, or an invitation to revise
and resubmit. Authors of revised papers should explain how they responded to
earlier reviews. MV may include invited papers.

Important Dates
---------------
All deadlines are at 23:59:59 Apia, Samoa time.
•	Paper submission: September 23, 2011
•	Notification: October 28, 2011
•	Invited revisions: November 25, 2011
•	Notification for revised submissions: December 16, 2011
•	Camera-ready copy to publisher: January 9, 2012

Instructions for Authors
------------------------
Work submitted to the AOSD Modularity Visions track must not be under review
for publication in any other venue and must not already have been published.
Submission will be carried out electronically via CyberChair
(http://cyberchairpro.borbala.net/modvispapers/submit/). The AOSD 2012
Research Results and MV tracks use separate CyberChair URLs. Papers must be
submitted as PDF files not to exceed 12 pages (including bibliography,
appendices and figures) using the SIGPLAN Proceedings Format and a 10 point
font. By default the SIGPLAN Proceedings Format uses a 9 point font. If you
are formatting your paper using LaTeX, you will need to set the 10pt option
in the \documentclass command. If you are formatting your paper using Word,
you may use the provided Word template, which uses a 10pt font. Include page
numbers in submissions. Setting the preprint option in the \documentclass
command generates page numbers. Ensure that your submission is legible
printed when in black and white. Different colors must map to distinct gray
values and all writing must be readable.
Submission deadlines, length limits, and formatting instructions are firm.
Submissions that deviate materially will be rejected without review by the
program chair. Submitted papers must adhere to SIGPLAN's republication
policy.

Publication
-----------
Accepted papers will be published by the ACM in the AOSD 2012 Proceedings
and in the ACM Digital Library. Authors of accepted papers are expected to
revise papers in light of reviewers' comments, agree to provide camera-ready
versions by camera-ready deadlines, and agree to sign the standard ACM
copyright form.

 <http://www.aosd.net/2012/>

March 25–30, 2012, Hasso-Plattner-Institut Potsdam, Germany

Supported by ACM SIGSOFT & SIGPLAN

Call for Workshop Proposals

=======================================
Important Dates:

Proposal:
Workshop proposals: Friday, September 23, 2011.
Notifications: Friday, September 30, 2011.
Workshop web sites up: Friday, October 14, 2011

For ACM publishing of proceedings (pending):
Notification of accepted papers: January 13, 2012
Camera ready copy of proceedings: January 27, 2012
=======================================

We invite proposals for one-day workshops to be held in conjunction
with the MODULARITY: aosd.12 conference. We encourage proposals
on conference-related topics that are novel or of emerging
importance. Each workshop proposal will be evaluated according to
the value and relevance of its topic, the expertise and experience of
the workshop organizers, and the workshop's potential for attracting
participants and generating useful results. We stress the importance
of active and creative workshops that foster a collaborative
environment of interest to both practitioners and researchers.
We encourage workshop proposals that are highly interactive, rather
than mini-conferences.

Submission Guidelines
=====================
A workshop proposal must be authored by at least two organizers,
preferably from different institutions, and should contain the
following three sections:

1) About the Organizers
-----------------------
- Name: Organizer's full name
- Contact information: Affiliation, job title, postal address, e-mail
address, URL, phone number, and fax number
- Brief biography: 100-200 words, focusing on the organizer's expertise
in the field and experience as a workshop organizer
- Primary contact: Identify one organizer as the primary contact

2) About the Workshop
---------------------
- Title: Workshop title and acronym
- Abstract: 150-200 words describing the workshop, suitable for the
conference Web site and advance program
- Topics and motivation: What are the topics, themes, and areas of
interest of the workshop? How is the workshop relevant to AOSD? How
does the workshop connect AOSD to other research communities, if
at all?
- Goals and expected results: Explicitly state the goals of the
workshop and how you intend to reach them. What are the expected
results of the workshop?  How will these results be disseminated?
- Format: What is the planned workshop format? What will be done to
stimulate collaborative interaction? What are the planned pre- and
post-workshop activities?
- Participants: What is the expected number of participants? Explain why
this workshop will attract a sufficient number of attendees. Specify the
participant selection process.
- Previous workshops: Have there been previous workshops on the
same topic?  When, where, and how many participants?
- Required equipment: Overhead projector, PC projector, whiteboard, flip
charts, microphone, etc.

3) A Preliminary Call for Workshop Papers
-----------------------------------------
This will necessarily repeat some of the information from the previous
sections, but should be targeted towards prospective participants. The
workshop call for papers should address the following items:

- Overview of the motivation, topics, and goals
- Workshop format
- Deadlines of the workshop
- Submission guidelines and review process
- References to previous workshops (Web sites)

ACM Publication
===============
The conference organizers are negotiating with ACM to enable the
inclusion of the workshop papers in both the electronic conference
proceedings and in the ACM Digital Library. We suggest the workshop
organizers make use of this option. For ACM publication, final
versions of each workshop paper will have to be prepared using ACM
formatting, granting ACM copyright and will have to be limited in
length to five pages. The workshop organizers are responsible for
assembling their workshop proceedings and therefore ensuring correct
formatting. Workshop organizers should send the workshop chairs the
list of accepted papers by Friday, January 13, 2012 and the workshop
proceedings by, January 27, 2012. (Hard deadlines)

Note that the above requirements are for the actual workshop papers
that are to be published by ACM, not the workshop proposals. Workshop
proposals should mention these paper formatting requirements in the
sample Call for Papers, and have compatible deadlines.

Submission requirements
=======================
Proposals must be submitted in ASCII text or PDF format. Relevant
supporting materials, such as proceedings from previous offerings of
the proposed workshop (or other workshops run by the proposal authors),
should be included if available but are not required for submission.

To obtain a balanced and cohesive workshop program, the Conference
Committee will collaborate closely with workshop organizers and
reserves the right to circulate proposals to other submitters in view
of possible workshop mergers. The organizers of an accepted workshop
will be required to create and maintain a Web site in a timely manner
to serve as a workshop information center and to provide a repository
for documenting pre- and post-workshop activities. Recommended paper
submission deadline and notification deadlines will be notified here
when available.

How to submit
=============
Workshop proposals must be sent via email to the Workshop Chairs
at, and must be received no later than Friday, September 23,
2011. Notifications to submitters will be made no later than Friday,
September 30, 2011.

By Friday, October 14, 2011, workshop initial web sites should be
set up and notified to the Workshop Chairs, and preferably calls for
papers should have been sent out.

Call for ACM STUDENT RESEARCH COMPETITION at "MODULARITY: AOSD 2012"

Important Dates
---------------
Due date: Sunday, October 16th, 2011 (23:59 Samoan time)
Notification date: Friday, November 11th, 2011

AOSD is hosting an ACM SIGPLAN Student Research Competition. The
competition, sponsored by Microsoft Research, is an
internationally-recognized venue that enables undergraduate and
graduate students to experience the research world, share their
research results with other students and AOSD attendees, and compete
for prizes. The ACM SIGPLAN Student Research Competition shares
the Poster session's goal to facilitate students' interaction with
researchers and industry practitioners; providing both sides with the
opportunity to learn of ongoing, current research.  Additionally,
the Student Research Competition affords students with experience
with both formal presentations and evaluations.

Competition
-----------
Students submit a proposal that follows the requirements for
a poster proposal. Submissions must be original work that is
neither in submission nor already published at AOSD or another
conference or journal. Student Research Competition submissions will
be simultaneously considered as poster submissions. Students who are
not selected to participate in the Student Research Competition will
be considered for the poster event.

The submission should describe:
 - The research problem and motivation
 - Background and related work
 - Approach and uniqueness
 - Results and contributions

Submissions should not exceed 800 words and must be in ACM SIGPLAN
Proceedings format.

Submissions are reviewed by a panel of experts, and are evaluated
based upon the following criteria:
 - Quality of work
 - Novelty of approach
 - Significance of contribution
 - Clarity of written presentation

A maximum of 20 students (10 undergraduates, 10 graduates) will be
selected to participate in the Student Research Competition at AOSD
2011. Students whose submissions are accepted to participate in the
competition are entitled to a stipend for their travel expenses,
up to a maximum of US$500.

At the conference, the first round of the competition evaluates the
research during a poster presentation. The poster presentation is
evaluated based on two facets:
 - The presentation of the research, including the visual aspects of
   the poster and the student's oral discussion.
 - The research, specifically its quality, novelty, and the
   significance of the contribution.

Based on the results from the poster session, the judges will select
students to advance to the second round of the competition.

During the second round of the competition, students give a 10-minute
presentation of their research, followed by a five-minute question and
answer period. The presentation is evaluated by a panel of judges,
and the top three winners in each category are selected. The top
three winners in each category will receive prizes of US$500, US$300,
and US$200, respectively.

After the conference, the winners from each category will advance to
the ACM Grand Finals of the Student Research Competition, where all
SIG conference contest winners are evaluated.

Prizes
------
The top three winners at AOSD 2012 in each category (undergraduate
and graduate) will receive prizes of US$500, US$300, and US$200,
respectively.  All winners also receive an award certificate
and two-year complimentary ACM membership with a subscription
to ACM's Digital Library. Winners will be recognized during the
conference. These winners will also go on to compete in the ACM
Student Research Competition Grand Finals with winners from other
ACM conferences.

Competition Requirements
------------------------
Participants must be undergraduates or graduate students pursuing an
academic degree at the time of initial submission. The contest has two
categories, one for undergraduate research and the other for graduate
research. Three winners will be selected in each category. Research
completed while the student was an undergraduate may be submitted to
the undergraduate category even if the student is now a first-year
graduate student. Participants must provide a signed letter from their
academic supervisor confirming that they are registered as a full-time
student and that at least 50% of their working week is spent following
an academic course of study. Additionally, participants must be
current members of the ACM, and must provide their ACM member number.

Although the ACM and AOSD recognize the importance of collaborative
research, the Student Research Competition is meant to be an
opportunity for junior students to develop their skills as
researchers and to give them an opportunity to showcase their
work. One of the goals of the program is to focus on the student,
their capabilities as a researcher, and their potential. As such,
only individual research projects will be considered for the Student
Research Competition. Supervisors of the work may not be listed as
co-authors; you must submit a single-authored version of your work
for the competition.

The submission deadline, length limitations, and formatting
instructions are firm: any submissions that deviate from these may be
rejected without review by the program chairs. Submitted papers must
adhere to SIGPLAN's republication policy.

Each paper should contain an explanation of its contributions in both
general and technical terms, clearly identifying what has been
accomplished, explaining why it is significant, and placing it in the
context of relevant prior work. Where appropriate, systems and
experimental data should be made available on the Web. Authors should
make the technical content of their papers understandable to a broad
but technically sophisticated audience.

Publication

Accepted papers will be published by the ACM in the main AOSD 2012
conference proceedings and will appear in the ACM Digital Library.
Authors of accepted papers are expected to revise their papers in
light of reviewers' comments, and to provide camera-ready versions of
the papers by the camera-ready deadline. All authors will also be

------------------------------------------
Modularity Visions Track – Call for Papers
------------------------------------------

Modularity properties are key determinants of quality in information
systems, software, and system production processes. Modularity influences
system diversity, dependability, performance, evolution, the structure and
the dynamics of the organizations that produce systems, human understanding
and management of systems, and ultimately system value.

Yet the nature of and possibilities for modularity, limits to modularity,
the mechanisms needed to achieve it in given forms, and its costs and
benefits remain poorly understood. Significant advances in modularity thus
are possible and promise to yield breakthroughs in our ability to conceive,
design, develop, validate, integrate, deploy, operate and evolve modern
information systems and their underlying software artifacts.

The Modularity Visions track of AOSD 2012 (MV) seeks papers presenting
compelling insights into modularity in information systems, including its
nature, forms, mechanisms, consequences, limits, costs and benefits. Rather
than ex post results, MV seeks promising ex ante proposals for future work.
The scope of MV is broad: open to submissions from all areas of computer
science, as well as from other fields.

Reviewing Process
------------------
Reviewing will be based on norms applied to peer-reviewed proposals to
programs that demand breakthrough potential. Papers must be well written,
present new perspectives on, or approaches to, important problems, formulate
clear hypotheses justified by analysis or results from preliminary work,
evaluate potential significance and risks, articulate how progress can be
evaluated, and discuss related and required future work.

MV will use a two-phase review process. Each paper will first be reviewed by
at least two members of the program committee (PC). Any paper receiving at
least one positive review will be reviewed by at least one more PC member.
The PC will then recommend acceptance, rejection, or an invitation to revise
and resubmit. Authors of revised papers should explain how they responded to
earlier reviews. MV may include invited papers.

Important Dates
---------------
All deadlines are at 23:59:59 Apia, Samoa time.
•	Paper submission: September 23, 2011
•	Notification: October 28, 2011
•	Invited revisions: November 25, 2011
•	Notification for revised submissions: December 16, 2011
•	Camera-ready copy to publisher: January 9, 2012

Instructions for Authors
------------------------
Work submitted to the AOSD Modularity Visions track must not be under review
for publication in any other venue and must not already have been published.
Submission will be carried out electronically via CyberChair
(http://cyberchairpro.borbala.net/modvispapers/submit/). The AOSD 2012
Research Results and MV tracks use separate CyberChair URLs. Papers must be
submitted as PDF files not to exceed 12 pages (including bibliography,
appendices and figures) using the SIGPLAN Proceedings Format and a 10 point
font. By default the SIGPLAN Proceedings Format uses a 9 point font. If you
are formatting your paper using LaTeX, you will need to set the 10pt option
in the \documentclass command. If you are formatting your paper using Word,
you may use the provided Word template, which uses a 10pt font. Include page
numbers in submissions. Setting the preprint option in the \documentclass
command generates page numbers. Ensure that your submission is legible
printed when in black and white. Different colors must map to distinct gray
values and all writing must be readable.
Submission deadlines, length limits, and formatting instructions are firm.
Submissions that deviate materially will be rejected without review by the
program chair. Submitted papers must adhere to SIGPLAN's republication
policy.

Publication
-----------
Accepted papers will be published by the ACM in the AOSD 2012 Proceedings
and in the ACM Digital Library. Authors of accepted papers are expected to
revise papers in light of reviewers' comments, agree to provide camera-ready
versions by camera-ready deadlines, and agree to sign the standard ACM
copyright form.

Call for Papers -- Research Results

Modularity transcending traditional abstraction boundaries is
essential for developing complex modern systems - particularly
software and software-intensive systems. Aspect-oriented and other
new forms of modularity and abstraction are attracting a great deal
attention across many domains within and beyond computer science. As
the premier international conference on modularity, AOSD continues
to advance our knowledge and understanding of separation of concerns,
modularity, and abstraction in the broadest senses of these terms.

The 2012 AOSD conference will comprise two main events: "Research
Results" and "Modularity Visions". Both events invite full, scholarly
papers of the highest quality on new ideas and results in areas that
include but are not limited to complex systems, software design and
engineering, programming languages, cyber-physical systems, and other
areas across the whole system life cycle.

Research Results papers are expected to contribute significant
new research results with rigorous and substantial validation of
specific technical claims based on scientifically sound reflections
on experience, analysis, or experimentation.

Modularity Visions papers (solicited in a separate call) are expected
to present compelling new ideas in modularity, including strong cases
for significance, novelty, validity, and potential impact based on
thorough scholarly argumentation and early results.

AOSD 2012 is deeply committed to eliciting works of the highest caliber
by employing a new approach to reviewing with three separate paper
submission deadlines and review stages. A paper accepted in any round
will be published in the proceedings and presented at the conference. A
paper rejected in an early round may be invited to be revised and
resubmitted for review by the same reviewers in a later round. There
is no guarantee that a revised paper will be accepted. Authors may, on
their own initiative, resubmit a rejected work in a subsequent round,
in which case new reviewers may be appointed.  Authors submitting a
revised paper should attach a letter explaining the revisions made
to it.

Topics

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

* Complex systems: Modularity has emerged as a vital theme in many
domains, from biology to economics to engineered systems to software
and software-intensive systems, and beyond. AOSD 2012 invites works
that explore and establish connections across such disciplinary
boundaries.

* Software design and engineering: Requirements and domain engineering;
architecture; synthesis; evolution; metrics and evaluation; economics;
testing analysis and verification; semantics; composition and
interference; traceability; methodology; patterns.

* Programming languages: Language design; compilation and
interpretation; verification and static program analysis; formal
languages and calculi; execution environments and dynamic weaving;
dynamic and scripting languages; domain-specific languages and other
support for new forms of abstraction.

* Varieties of modularity: Context orientation; feature orientation;
model-driven development; generative programming; software product
lines; traits; meta-programming and reflection; contracts and
components; view-based development.

* Tools: Aspect mining; evolution and reverse engineering; crosscutting
views; refactoring.

* Applications: Data-intensive computing; distributed and concurrent
systems; middleware; service-oriented computing systems; cyber-physical
systems; networking; cloud computing; pervasive computing; runtime
verification; computer systems performance; system health monitoring
and the enforcement of non-functional properties.
