CALL FOR PAPERS SECOND INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON CONFIGURABLE DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS Carnegie Mellon University March 21-23, 1994 Software Engineering Institute In cooperation with IEEE Pittsburgh, PA USA Computer Society, ACM, and IEE (all proposed) General Chair: Mario Barbacci Program Committee Co-Chairs: James Purtilo Jeff Kramer This workshop will be concerned with methods, tools and techniques for configuring and managing software for distributed applications. These applications are usually configured by programmers who must identify the desired software components, bind them together and then map them onto the underlying host architectures. Therefore, papers addressing any aspect of this configuration process are invited. Like the previous workshop, papers addressing the issues of dynamic reconfiguration --- that is, controlling how the logical configuration evolves during execution --- are of particular interest. -- Language and tool support for configuration and reconfiguration -- Configuration (and reconfiguration) management -- Specification and modelling of reconfigurable systems -- Instrumentation and visualization of distributed systems -- Methods for software maintenance in highly-available configurations -- Configuration of mixed-language applications -- Methods to identify network components/services for use in configurations -- Use of multi-media / hyper-media in configurations -- Performance criteria for managing allocations and reconfiguration -- Tools and techniques for managing very large scale configurations We invite submission of case studies, documenting substantial experiences which can contribute to our community's understanding of configurable distributed systems. These papers should be identified as such by the author, and will be reviewed based upon their potential for helping communicate `lessons learned.' A proceedings will be published in time to be available at the meeting. Based upon feedback solicited at the meeting from attendees, the program committee will select a subset of papers to be submitted as a special issue of a suitable journal or as a book. (Papers selected from the previous meeting, held in London, are due to appear in the March 1993 issue of the IEE's Software Engineering Journal.) Prospective authors are invited to consider the summary from our last meeting, as reported in Conferences section of IEEE Computer Magazine, in the September 1992 issue. SUBMISSION: Five copies of the complete paper should be submitted to either of the two program chairs. Papers must be written in English, and should be no more than twenty pages (double spaced) in length, including figures. But because we are also interested in the most timely reports of research achievements, we will also accept extended abstracts for consideration; these should be at least five pages in length, and should clearly articulate the main points and results which would appear in the full paper, should it be accepted. Since our community is, after all, a distributed and configurable `system', electronic submission of Postscript by email is acceptable with prior arrangement to ensure compatibility of the medium.
