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.
