First International IFIP/ACM Working Conference on Component Deployment (CD 2002) June 20 - 21, 2002 Berlin, Germany http://swt.cs.tu-berlin.de/cd02/ Co-located with ACM SIGPLAN 2002 Conference on Programming Language Design and Implementation (PLDI) --------------------------------------------------------------------- C a l l f o r P a r t i c i p a t i o n --------------------------------------------------------------------- Early registration: May 22, 2002 Fees and registration form: http://swt.cs.tu-berlin.de/cd02/ Full programme now available Component technology has additional roles and activities in the software life-cycle that relate to assembly and deployment of components into a running system. These new activities affect all dimensions of software engineering. Deployment needs to be specified, designed, implemented, verified and tested. It requires new software processes, languages and tools, standards and inter- operability. During deployment attention must be paid to quality requirements, customisation, maintainability, system evolution, and constraints concerning scarce resources. Although many of these issues are being addressed in isolation, there is no well founded notion of software deployment that com- bines and interrelates the underlying principles. CD 2002 brings together experts from such disparate fields, and seeks to establish component deployment as a major research area within component-based software engineering. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Keynote by Bertrand Meyer - ETH Zurich, Switzerland: "From contracts to trusted components'' 13 papers, 6 short paper displays, 2 panels (planned) -------------------------------------------------------------------- The CD 2002 proceedings are being published in the Springer-Verlag LNCS series and copies will be distributed at the conference.
