Both automatic systems and systems that support and cooperate with people are within the scope of the conference, as are models of software and software engineering activities. TOPICS: ASE'05 encourages contributions describing basic research, novel applications, and experience report relevant to automating software engineering activities. Solicited topics include, but are not limited to: - Automated reasoning techniques - Automated software specification - Automated software design and synthesis - Category and Graph-theoretic approaches - Component-based systems - Computer-supported cooperative work - Configuration management - Domain modeling and meta-modeling - Human computer interaction - Knowledge acquisition - Maintenance and evolution - Modeling language semantics - Ontologies and methodologies - Open systems development - Process and workflow management - Program understanding - Re-engineering - Reflection and Metadata approaches - Requirements engineering - Reuse - Specification languages - Software architectures - Software design and synthesis - Software visualization - Testing - Tutoring, help, documentation systems - Verification and validation PUBLICATION: Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. In addition, authors of a selection of papers from the conference will be invited to revise and re-submit their papers for consideration for a special issue of the Journal of Automated Software Engineering (Springer). ASE'05 will also include invited talks, tutorials, panel discussions, doctoral symposium, and research demonstrations, for which separate calls for participation will be issued. PAPER SUBMISSION: Papers should not exceed 10 pages in the conference format (http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html). Papers exceeding the length restriction will not be reviewed. Papers will be reviewed by at least three program committee members. All papers, especially application papers and experience reports, should clearly identify their novel contributions. Please see the ASE on-line Bibliography at http://ase.informatik.uni-essen.de/olbib/index.html as a reference for potential contributors. All papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format by June 6, 2005 (abstracts should be submitted by May 31). Information regarding electronic submission will be available at the conference website http://www.ase-conference.org/ CONFERENCE ORGANIZERS: General Chair: David Redmiles ([log in to unmask]) University of California, Irvine, CA, USA http://www.ics.uci.edu/~redmiles/ Program Co-Chairs: Andrea Zisman ([log in to unmask]) City University London, UK http://www.soi.city.ac.uk/~zisman/ Tom Ellman ([log in to unmask]) Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, New York, USA http://faculty.vassar.edu/thellman/ Program Committee Members: Bernhard Aichernig, United Nations University, China Perry Alexander, University of Kansas, USA Jamie Andrews, University of Western Ontario, Canada Mikio Aoyama, Nanzan University, Japan Tevfik Bultan, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA Shing-Chi Cheung, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, China Elisabetta Di Nitto, Politecnico de Milano, Italy Steve Easterbrook, University of Toronto, Canada Alexander Egyed, Teknowledge Corporation, USA Wolfgang Emmerich, University College London, UK Martin Feather, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, USA Steve Fickas, University of Oregon, USA Bernd Fischer, NASA Ames Research Center, USA Gerald Gannod, Arizona State University, USA Dimitra Giannakopoulou, NASA Ames Research Center, USA Michael Goedicke, University of Essen, Germany Paul Gruenbacher, Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria John Grundy, University of Auckland, New Zeland Bob Hall, AT&T Research, USA Mats Heimdahl, University of Minnesota, USA Shinichi Honiden, National Institue of Informatics, Japan Paola Inverardi, Universita' dell'Aquila, Italy Andrew Ireland, Heriot-Watt University, UK Jeff Kramer, Imperial College London, UK Kung-Kiu Lau, University of Manchester, UK Yves Ledru, LSR/IMAG, France Julio Cesar Leite, Pontificia Universidade Catolica, Brazil Michael Lowry, NASA Ames Research Center, USA Neil Maiden, City University, UK Jonathan Maletic, Kent State University, USA Cecilia Mascolo, University College London, UK Neno Medvidovic, University of Southern California, USA Tim Menzies, NASA/WVU IV&V Facility, USA Alessandro Orso, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA Charles Pecheur, University Catholique de Louvain, Belgium John Penix, NASA Ames Research Center, USA Debra Richardson, University of California, Irvine, USA Julian Richardson, NASA Ames Research Center, USA Gregg Rothermel, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, USA Motoshi Saeki, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan Houari Sahraoui, Universite de Montreal, Canada Doug Smith, Kestrel Institute, USA George Spanoudakis, City University, UK Kurt Stirewalt, Michigan State University, USA Sebastian Uchitel, Imperial College London, UK Willem Visser, NASA Ames Research Center, USA Virginie Wiels, ONERA, CERT, France Dave Wile, Teknowledge, USA Yunwen Ye, University of Colorado, Boulder, USA ------------------------------------------------------------ IMPORTANT DATES: May 31: Electronic Abstracts Due Jun 6 : Paper Submission Due Nov 7 : Doctoral Symposium Nov 7-8: Workshops Nov 7-8: Tutorials Nov 9-11: Conference For further information, please visit the conference website http://www.ase-conference.org or contact Yunwen Ye ([log in to unmask]), ASE'05 Publicity Chair
