Scope
Although the majority of work in the AOSD community focuses on general-purpose aspect languages (eg. AspectJ), seminal work on AOSD proposed a number of domain-specific aspect languages, such as COOL for concurrency management and RIDL for serialization. A growing trend of research in the AOSD community is returning to this seminal work, motivated by the known advantages of domain-specific approaches, as argued by Mitchell Wand in his keynote at ICFP 2003. This workshop is conceived for researchers who are further exploring the area of domain-specific aspect languages, including language design, enabling technologies and composition issues.
Topics
We seek contributions related to domain-specific aspect languages, more particularly (but not limited to):
- design of DSALs
- successful DSALs and their applications
- issues in both design and implementation of DSALs
- methodologies and tools suitable for creating DSALs
- mechanisms for interaction detection and handling in DSALs
- key challenges for future work in the area
A good analysis of conflicting forces is at least as useful for potential participants of this workshop as descriptions of original new approaches or experience reports.
Submissions
The workshop accepts three types of submissions: work-in-progress papers, position papers, and technical papers.
Papers should be formatted in SIGPLAN proceedings style (sigplanconf.cls). Page limit depends on the type of submission: 4 pages for work-in-progress and position papers, 7 pages for technical papers.
The submission should be sent in PDF format by email to etanter @ dcc.uchile.cl, clearly indicating the type of submission.
Format of the workshop
The workshop will consist of several plenary sessions according to grouping of accepted papers, consisting of (1) brief presentations of selected papers, (2) a panel discussion with the presenting authors including participation from the audience.
Publication
All accepted papers will be made available on this website prior to the workshop so that participants can read them, and will be published in the workshop proceedings, made available as a technical report of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel.
A set of selected papers from this workshop will be published in the journal IEE Proceedings Software.
