CALL FOR PAPERS

TOOLS EUROPE is devoted to the combination of technologies that have emerged as a result of object technology becoming "mainstream". Like its predecessors, TOOLS EUROPE combines an emphasis on quality with a strong practical focus.

Started in 1989, TOOLS conferences, held in Europe, the USA, Australia, China and Eastern Europe, have played a major role in the development of object technology; many of seminal concepts were first presented at TOOLS. After an interruption of four years, the conference was revived in 2007 to reflect the maturing of the field and the new challenges ahead and has become a yearly event.

Contributions are solicited on all aspects of object technology and related fields, in particular model-based development, component-based development, and patterns (design, analysis and other applications); more generally, any contribution addressing topics in advanced software technology fall within the scope of TOOLS. Reflecting the practical emphasis of TOOLS, contributions showcasing applications along with a sound conceptual contribution are particularly welcome. Topics include:

• Object technology, including programming techniques, languages, and tools
• Testing of object-oriented systems
• Patterns, pattern languages, tool support for patterns
• Distributed and concurrent object systems
• Real-time object-oriented programming and design
• Experience reports, including efforts at standardisation
• Applications to safety- and security-related software
• Component-based programming, modelling, tools
• Aspects and aspect-oriented programming and modelling
• Frameworks for component-based development
• Trusted and reliable components
• Model-driven development and Model-Driven Architecture
• Domain specific languages and language design
• Tools and frameworks for supporting model-driven development
• Language implementation techniques, compilers, run-time systems
• Practical applications of program verification and analysis
• Open source solutions & Reproduction studies

All contributions will be subject to a rigourous selection process by the Program Committee, with a stress on originality, practicality and overall quality. The proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag. All submissions must be 18 pages or shorter in length, use the standard LNCS format, and include the authors' names, affiliations, and contact details.
