Segue a chamada.
TOOLS EUROPE 2007
Objects, Models, Components, Patterns
24-28 June 2007, ETH Zurich
Conference site: tools.ethz.ch.
Program chair: Jean Bézivin
Conference chair: Bertrand Meyer
TOOLS EUROPE 2007 will be devoted to the combination of
technologies that have emerged as a result of object technology
becoming "mainstream". Like its predecessors, TOOLS EUROPE 2007
combines an emphasis on quality with a strong practical focus.
This is the 45th TOOLS conference. 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 field; many of the seminal concepts were first presented
at TOOLS. After an interruption of four years, the conference is
now revived to reflect the maturing of the field and the new
challenges ahead.
Contributions are solicited on all aspects of object technology and
neighboring 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. For a non-exclusive list of potential
topic areas see the conference Web page.
All contributions will be subject to a rigorous selection process
by the international Program Committee, with a stress on
originality, practicality and overall quality. Every paper will be
reviewed by at least 4 committee members. The acceptance rate will
be published in the conference proceedings; TOOLS is committed to a
fair and extensive peer-review process establishing a high standard
in the area of modern practices in software engineering.
By submitting a paper to TOOLS, authors warrant that the work is
original and that the paper or a similar contribution is neither
published nor considered for publication elsewhere.
Final papers should follow the publication format of the Journal of
Object Technology (JOT); see guidelines and templates (Word, LaTeX,
FrameMaker) at www.jot.fm.
Recommended length for papers is fifteen pages in JOT format.
However, if necessary some additional pages may be allowed up to an
absolute maximum of twenty pages. Papers of more than twenty pages
will be rejected without review.
Submission deadline for technical papers:
Abstract submission: February 15, 2007, 24:00 (midnight) Zurich
time (firm).
Full paper submission: February 22, 2007, 24:00 (midnight) Zurich
time (firm).
Author notification: April 15, 2007.
Camera-ready copy due: May 15, 2007.
The proceedings will be published as a special issue of the Journal
of Object Technology.
TOOLS EUROPE will also include workshops and tutorials (June 24), a
poster session, and a venture forum (June 28). See the
corresponding calls for contributions.
