<font face='Lucida Grande' size='4'><b>*** First Combined Call for Contributions ***<br></b><br>The 15th International Conference on Software Reuse (ICSR 2016)<br><br>June 5-7, 2016, St. Raphael Resort, Limassol, Cyprus<br><br><a href="http://cyprusconferences.org/icsr2016/">http://cyprusconferences.org/icsr2016/</a></font><font face='Lucida Grande'><br><br><br>For decades the International Conference on Software Reuse (ICSR) has been<br>the premier event in the field of software reuse research and technology. The<br>main goal of ICSR is to present the most recent advances and breakthroughs<br>in the area of software reuse and to promote an intensive and continuous<br>exchange among researchers and practitioners. The 15th International<br>Conference on Software Reuse (ICSR 2016) will be held on June 5-7 2016, in<br>Cyprus.<br><br><br>CALL FOR RESEARCH PAPERS<br><br>We invite submissions on new and innovative research results and industrial<br>experience reports in the area of software reuse. The guiding theme of<br>ICSR 2016 is:<br><br><b>Software reuse: bridging with social-awareness<br></b><br>Development online social networks are gaining ground lately with software<br>engineers participating in different fora collaborating and exchanging ideas<br>and expertise. Software reuse needs to utilize, but also strengthen, this new<br>form of synergies that can be built among engineers. ICSR special theme<br>aims to bring this aspect in software reuse by raising social-awareness,<br>strengthening the existing platforms and tools, and utilizing the vast<br>software information that exists in development social networks.<br><br>Amongst the numerous important challenges we identified the following<br>major topics for research focusing on reuse with social-awareness:<br><br>· Social network interactions between developers to support software reuse<br><br>· Utilization of online social development tools for software reuse<br><br>· Software reuse to enhance social-awareness<br><br>· Trust, security and semantic issues of social aspects of software reuse<br><br>Beyond those novel challenges for software reuse, we solicit submissions<br>dealing with all aspects of software reuse, including, but not limited to the<br>following ones:<br><br>· Domain analysis and modelling<br><br>· Asset search and retrieval<br><br>· Architecture-centric reuse approaches<br><br>· Component-based reuse<br><br>· Service-oriented architectures<br><br>· COTS-based development and reuse of open source assets<br><br>· Generative development<br><br>· Domain-specific languages<br><br>· Software composition and modularization<br><br>· Model-driven development<br><br>· Reengineering for reuse<br><br>· Software product line techniques<br><br>· Quality assurance for software reuse, such as testing and verification<br><br>· Reuse of non-code artifacts (process, experience, etc.)<br><br>· Economic models of reuse<br><br>· Benefit and risk analysis, scoping<br><br>· Legal and managerial aspects of reuse<br><br>· Transition to software reuse<br><br>· Industrial experience with reuse<br><br>· Light-weight reuse approaches<br><br>· Agile reuse<br><br>· Software evolution and reuse<br><br>· Reuse for mobile and ubiquitous applications<br><br><u>Paper Submission<br></u><br>Novel and well-founded work in the wider area of software reuse is highly<br>welcome. We look for strong research work which might have a strong<br>theoretical or empirical foundation. Theoretical work should in particular<br>provide innovative ideas and should be based on a sound theoretical basis.<br>Empirical work based on case studies, empirical research and experiments<br>is also highly welcome. Industrial submissions describing practical<br>experience are also strongly encouraged.<br><br>Submissions must conform to Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science<br>format, and are limited to 16 pages in length, in English. Short papers (up to<br>8 pages) are accepted as well and should be marked accordingly. You will be<br>able to submit your paper via Easychair. Each submission will be reviewed by<br>at least three members of the Program Committee. We plan to have a best<br>paper award for this conference, details will be announced in due time.<br><br>Accepted papers will be published in Springer's highly visible LNCS series<br>again. Please note that a full conference (i.e. not a student) registration is<br>required for a technical paper to be published.<br><br>Moreover, the prestigious Journal of Systems and Software will dedicate a<br>special issue on software reuse for which the authors of selected papers from<br>the conference will be invited to submit an extended version (containing at<br>least 30% new material). The CFP of the special issue can be found here:<br><a href="http://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-systems-and-software/call-for-papers/special-issue-on-software-reuse-cfp/">http://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-systems-and-software/call-for-papers/special-issue-on-software-reuse-cfp/</a><br><br><br>CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS<br><br>ICSR 2016, the premier conference on software reuse, invites proposals for<br>one-day and half-day workshops to be hosted in conjunction with the<br>conference. Since software reuse is pervasive in all aspects of software<br>development, workshops on a variety of topics including, but not limited to<br>those listed above may be appropriate. Submissions in the area of the<br>conference's main topic will receive preferential treatment.<br><br>Workshop proposals are limited to 3 pages in length.
