CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
The goal of the workshop is to explore
innovative ways of integrating commercial off-the-shelf software products into
software systems for purposes often unimagined by their creators. It will
investigate the challenges and risks faced as well as the benefits gained in
building COTS-based software systems. The papers accepted to this workshop will
describe tools and techniques for plugging COTS software products into software
systems safely, reliably, and predictably. In the past, researchers have
predominantly investigated COTS component integration with respect to
requirements engineering, risk assessment, and selection. The more recent
integration of entire products into software applications complements
traditional software development with techniques for designing, implementing,
and testing COTS-based systems. This workshop will report on:
- Software engineering principles (methods, techniques,
tools) for integrating COTS products into software systems effectively,
safely, reliably, and predictably
- Lessons learned and case studies that demonstrate such
software engineering principles
There is empirical evidence that COTS integration is not
like ordinary software development. It has been shown that, for example, writing
glue code is several times more difficult than writing ordinary application
code. Thus the emphasis of this workshop is on software engineering principles
for COTS integration. This includes but is not limited to the following topics:
- how to write the glue code
- how to implement data and control dependencies
- how to mediate between incompatible interfaces
- how to make the COTS tool aware of its surroundings
- how to architect/design/simulate COTS integration
- how to do code generation
- how to resolve stumbling blocks and risks
- how to integrate user interfaces
- how to handle new COTS releases and other maintenance
issues
- how to reverse engineer
- how to design product lines with COTS
- how to build domain-specific architectures with COTS
- how to test COTS-based systems
This workshop builds on three previous workshops and a
special issue in IEEE Software on the topic of COTS product integration:

How to Participate
Everybody is welcome to participate! However, presentation
slots will be given to participants with accepted workshop papers only.
Participants are thus encouraged to submit position papers. All authors of
accepted position papers will be allowed to present during the workshop! The
program committee will review submissions and then select the position papers to
be accepted based on their relevance, soundness and novelty.
- Submission of position papers: January 26, 2007
(closed)
- Author notification: February 20, 2007 (closed)
- Camera-ready submissions of accepted papers: March 5,
2007
Accepted workshop papers must adhere to the deadlines listed above. The
lengths of position papers are limited to six (6) pages and must follow the
ICSE
2007 Format and Submission Guidelines.
