at KIT.
This is the eighteenth event in the WCOP Series.
In the frame of the CompArch 2013 conference, WCOP (formerly the Workshop on
Component Oriented Programming) is organized as a Doctoral Symposium for young
researchers in the area of component based software engineering, software
architecture and software quality.
The doctoral symposium is aimed to give feedback from established
researchers to promising new ideas in the field of component based software
engineering, software architecture and software quality to young researchers in
all phases of their PhD career. Therefore we intentionally encourage PhD
students, young Post-Doc researchers, and junior academics to submit their
proposal statements with potentially unfinished and not yet validated ideas.
Each year, the CompArch Young Investigator Award may be given to an
outstanding paper accepted for WCOP and written by a PhD student(s). The award includes
a free registration to CompArch and the presentation of the paper during the
main CompArch program.
Areas of interest are component based software engineering, software
architecture and software quality in general. More specifically, this includes:
·
software-services (as deployed components),
·
specification and analysis of quality of service
properties,
·
predictable assembly of components /
compositional reasoning,
·
component-oriented development processes,
·
traceability between architecture, components
and code,
·
components as a means to implement architectures,
·
mobile and ubiquitous components for pervasive
computer applications,
·
security and privacy of component based
architectures,
·
performance/efficiency and reliability of
component-based systems,
·
specification and analysis of component-based
architectures,
·
deployment attribution / constraints,
·
COP and Model-driven Development (MDA),
·
addressing variability requirements in
component-based solutions,
·
system design for independent extensibility,
·
maintainability and evolution of component based
systems,
·
component versus application evolution,
·
management of component based systems,
·
domain-specific (vertical) standards,
·
organizational and
business aspects of components and software architecture.
