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.
