Component-Based Software Engineering

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International ACM SIGSOFT Symposium on Component-Based Software Engineering, CBSE 2008, held in Karlsruhe, Germany in October 2008.

The 20 revised full papers and 3 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 70 submissions. The papers feature new trends in global software services and distributed systems architectures to push the limits of established and tested component-based methods, tools and platforms. The papers are organized in topical sections on performance engineering; extra-functional properties: security and energy; formal methods and model checking; verification techniques; run-time infrastructures; methods of design and development; component models.

Klappentext

On behalf of the Organizing Committee we are pleased to present the p- ceedings of the 2008 Symposium on Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE). CBSE is concerned with the development of software-intensivesystems from independently developed software-building blocks (components), the - velopment of components, and system maintenance and improvement by means of component replacement and customization. CBSE 2008 was the 11th in a series of events that promote a science and technology foundation for achieving predictable quality in software systems through the use of software component technology and its associated software engineering practices. Wewerefortunateto haveadedicatedProgramCommitteecomprisingmany internationallyrecognizedresearchersandindustrialpractitioners.Wewouldlike to thank the members of the Program Committee and associated reviewers for their contribution in making this conference a success. We received 70 subm- sions and each paper was reviewed by at least three Program Committee m- bers (four for papers with an author on the Program Committee). The entire reviewing process was supported by the Conference Management Toolkit p- vided by Microsoft. In total, 20 submissions were accepted as full papers and 3 submissions were accepted as short papers.
