CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
ESEC/FSE'97 Workshop on Object-Oriented Reengineering
Zurich, Friday September 26, 1997
Version 1.0 -- Latest Revision: May, 14th, 1997
http://iamwww.unibe.ch/~famoos/ESEC97/
Objective
The ability to reengineer object-oriented legacy systems has become a
vital matter in today's software industry. Early adopters of the
object-oriented programming paradigm are now facing the problem of
transforming their object-oriented "legacy" systems into full-fledged
frameworks. Dealing with programs exceeding 10,000 lines of badly
documented code definitely requires support from tools as well as
methodologies.
The Workshop on Object-Oriented Reengineering wants to gather people
working on solutions for object-oriented legacy systems. We explicitly
solicit experience reports from the software industry as well as
contributions from tool producers and methodology providers. The
workshop itself will be set up as a forum for exchanging experiences,
discussing solutions, and exploring new ideas.
Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Experience reports from object-oriented reengineering projects
* Methods and techniques
* Tool-support
* Metrics and evaluation
* Migration to object-oriented frameworks
* Migration from procedural implementations
* Object-oriented schema integration
* Architectural issues
* Object-oriented analysis and design issues
* Design patterns in reengineering practices
ESEC/FSE'97
The Workshop is organised in conjunction with the "Sixth European
Software Engineering Conference / Fifth ACM SIGSOFT Symposium on the
Foundations of Software Engineering" Conference, to be held in Zurich -
Switzerland from September 22-25, 1997.
http://www.ifi.unizh.ch/congress/esec97.html
Intended Audience
The workshop is intended for software engineering professionals with
experience in object-oriented reengineering; either people who are
actively engaged in reengineering projects, or people who develop
methodologies and tools. Similar workshops held at other conferences
(OOPSLA'95, OOPSLA'96, ECOOP'97), show that it is possible to gather a
group of about 10 persons for a whole day of fruitful discussions.
Preparation
In order to make efficient use of the one day we have at our disposal,
we want to pay special attention to the preparation of the workshop. We
request each participant to submit a position paper in advance, so that
all participants can get acquinted with the ideas that exist within the
group. Each participant is supposed to read all the submitted
material, so that the workshop itself can be devoted to discussion
instead of presentations. Submissions will be made electronically to
facilitate the rapid exchange of information.
The upper limit for the number of participants is 20 and the
particpants will be selected on the basis of the submitted material.
The maximum number of particpants per position paper is limited to 2.
Important Dates
* Friday, 27.07.97: Submission of position papers due.
* Friday, 15.08.97: Notification of acceptance.
* Monday, 01.09.97: Preliminary Program available.
* Friday, 26.09.97: Workshop on OO Renginerring
Submission Guidelines
1. Be standard. There is lot's of work on re-engineering out there,
which
gives rise to some terminology conflicts. We encourage people to
use
the re-engineering taxonomy defined in Reverse Engineering and
Design
Recovery : A Taxonomy by E.J. Chikofsky and J.H. Cross II -- IEEE
Software, January 1990. Check
http://www.tcse.org/revengr/taxonomy.html
for an online summary.
2. Be electronic. Submit your position paper in HTML (preferably),
postcript or PDF, so that we can collect all of the submissions on
a
web-site. A separate abstract including the e-mail addresses of the
authors and URL's of their home pages MUST be submitted in HTML.
Submit everything by e-mail to [ demeyer@iam.unibe.ch].
3. Be focussed. Propose only one idea. We all know that you are a
quality
researcher with plenty of good ideas. Only, we have limited
resources
and we must focus. Please keep all position papers under five
pages.
4. Be relevant. Propose an idea that is relevant to object-oriented
re-engineering. Refer to the list of specific areas of interest.
5. Be innovative. Propose some recent idea that still has some
unfinished
sides to it. It is supposed to be a WORKshop, not a
mini-conference.
6. Be a rebel. Neglect these guidelines if you feel that your idea
needs a
special treatment in some way.
About the Organizers
The organizers of the workshop are from the University of Berne,
Switzerland and the Technical University of Vienna, Austria. Serge
Demeyer, from the University of Berne, is a member of the Software
Composition Group headed by Professor O. Nierstrasz. Harald Gall, from
the Technical University of Vienna, is a member of the Distributed
Systems Group headed by Professor M. Jazayeri. Both groups are
participating in ESPRIT research projects concerning reengineering
which are FAMOOS and ARES respectively.
Serge Demeyer
Serge Demeyer research focuses primarily on possible
cross-fertilizations between the software engineering and
hypermedia
domains. He is currently the co-ordinator of the FAMOOS
reengineering
project at the University of Berne. Serge Demeyer co-organised the
'2nd
Workshop on Open Hypermedia Systems' and participated in many other
Open Hypermedia Workshops. He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science
(1997)
from the 'Vrije Universiteit Brussel' - Belgium.

Harald Gall
Harald Gall is currently program committee member of the 1997
Working
Conference on Reverse Engineering (WCRE '97), the 1997 Workshop on
Program Comprehension (IWPC '97) and the ICSE'97 Workshop on
Migration
Strategies for Legacy Systems. His research interests include
reengineering, software architecture, and object-oriented
technologies.
He is currently involved in the architecture recovery tasks of the
ARES
project and in the object-oriented re-architecturing project CORET.
He
holds an M.Sc. and a Ph.D. in computer science from the Technical
University of Vienna.
