As object-oriented technology permeates the field of software development, we look for new approaches to improve quality and reduce cost and time-to-market, in software development. Object-oriented analysis and design methods (OOA&DM) have recently come to the forefront as the dominant system development paradigm. Object modelling provides a high-level system view that permits to reason about how the key requirements of the system will be satisfied. Models can be built in different manners and can be regarded with respect to different aspects: techniques, methods, tools, basic principles, paradigms, resources, application areas etc.

In this session we are interested in new techniques, tools or methods focused in any phase of the software life cycle. We are also interested in techniques and/or metrics that allow us to successfully assess and manage the qualitative and quantitative complexity of systems. Authors are invited to submit both high quality research and experience papers. Research papers should describe work that advances the current techniques, methods or understanding of concepts and problems. Experience papers should not merely describe how a particular system had been built or used, but rather should be of broad interest and provide generalizable insights on the focused topics of interest.

 

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

 

    * UML modeling

    * software analysis and development

    * software architecture

    * software testing

    * software cost estimation

    * software evolution

    * software metrics

    * middleware

    * model checking

    * performance & reliability engineering

    * networked/mobile objects and other technologies

    * concurrency

    * fault tolerance & security
