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.

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.
