by Harald Gall

------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------- CHOOSE Forum 2006 on "Assessing Software Quality in Products and Processes" and CHOOSE General Assembly http://www.choose.s-i.ch/events.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------- CALL OF PARTICIPATION Conference of the Swiss Group for Object-Oriented Systems and Environments (CHOOSE) Monday December 18, 2006 — Full day Allegro Grand Casino Kursaal Bern Bern On-line registration and a preliminary program for this event are now available on the CHOOSE web site: http://www.choose.s-i.ch/events.html Abstract -------------------------------------- Software quality is a major challenge for the kinds of software systems that are developed these days. Modern software systems are increasingly large, complex, heterogeneous and open. Both product and process quality attributes have a major impact on development and release cycles. This CHOOSE Forum offers a series of presentations from experts that come from academia and industry and share their insights into software quality assessment. Newest technologies together with lessons learned cover aspects in products and processes. This forum addresses questions such as: .) What are effective means for quality assessment? .) What is the state-of-the-art and the state-of-the-practice in quality engineering? .) What is the impact of software architecture on quality attributes? .) How can Reengineering contribute to quality assessment? The day will conclude with a discussion session in which paths should be sketched where to go from here for better quality engineering. The day also includes the CHOOSE General Assembly, including reports from the President and the Treasurer, and elections for the CHOOSE Executive Board. Preliminary Schedule -------------------------------------- Time Session 08.30 – 09.00 Registration and Coffee 09.00 – 09.15 Welcome and Opening Oscar Nierstrasz, University of Berne, Switzerland (CHOOSE President) Harald Gall, University of Zurich, Switzerland (CHOOSE Forum Organizer) 09.15 – 10.00 David Notkin, University of Washington, Seattle, USA Software Architecture and Quality 10.00 – 10.30 Coffee Break 10.30 – 12.00 Serge Demeyer, University of Antwerp, Belgium Reengineering for Quality Jana Koehler, IBM Research Lab Zurich, Switzerland Anti-Patterns and typical failures in Business Process Modeling Hans Sassenburg, Software Improvement Group AG, Switzerland If Software Quality Is So Important, Why Is It So Often Neglected? 12.00 – 13.30 Buffet Lunch and CHOOSE General Assembly 13.30 – 15.00 Jacky Estublier, Grenoble University, France Are Software Processes really improving Software quality?

Call for Papers: TOOLS Europe 2007

by Laurence Tratt

============================================================================ TOOLS EUROPE 2007 Objects, Models, Components, Patterns ETH Zurich, Switzerland 24-28 June 2007 http://tools.ethz.ch/ ============================================================================ Call for Papers 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 neighbouring 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. Submission Guidelines 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. Submissions should follow the publication format of the Journal of Object Technology (JOT). Papers should be limited in size to 20 single-spaced pages. Further details are available from the website. Important Dates Deadline for technical papers: February 1, 2007, midnight Zurich time 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.
