5th Workshop on Exception Handling
Call for Papers
June 9, 2012
Zurich, Switzerland

in conjunction with ICSE 2012
http://www.icse2012.org

Following the success of previous workshops held in 2000, 2003, 2005,
2008, this workshop will provide a forum for presenting and discussing
research on exception handling and fault tolerance in all area of
software development and use. The workshop aims at covering the whole
software life cycle, methodological as well as technical issues,
modelling techniques or linguistic mechanisms.  In particular, we
will be interested in discussing a number of research open questions.

The workshop is intended to cover a wide range of topics, from
theoretical foundations to and empirical software engineering studies
of exception handling techniques. Topics of interest include the
following (but not limited to):

- Exceptions in software processes
- Exceptions in the software life-cycle: requirements engineering,
  specifications, architectural design, modelling and programming,
  predictive models, model transformation, verification, debugging,
  testing, documentation, refactoring, variability management, static
  analysis, metrics, quality models, etc.
- Exception handling for and with new software artefacts (e.g. aspects,
  components, features, services, etc)
- Exception handling in today's applications (distributed, ubiquitous,
  ambient, web-based, cloud, etc)
- Exception handling and software fault tolerance
- Empirical studies of exception handling
- Recommender systems for exception handling code
- Design patterns and anti-patterns, architectural styles, and good
  programming practice.

Authors are requested to submit a position paper in
the PDF format. We invite
- traditional position papers (5-7 pages in the Springer LNCS format)
- short position papers (1-2 pages in the Springer LNCS format).

Papers should describe innovative and ongoing works, thoughts, lessons
learned, or points of view with respect to one or more workshop topics.
Moreover we especially encourage authors to present their experience
and/or novel ideas on how to provide a modern software engineering
treatment of exception handling (shorter format). The papers chosen
for presentation will offer different or novel perspectives on the
workshop topics and they must have a high potential for generating
issues that will stimulate the discussions. Papers will be refereed
by at least three reviewers.

The EasyChair submission site will be open in mid January 2012.
The information will appear on the workshop web site.

Important dates:
17 February 2012 - Workshop paper submissions due
19 March 2012 - Notification of workshop paper authors
29 March 2012 - Submissions of camera-ready papers
