TASE 2012 - FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS *********************************************************** The Sixth IEEE International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Software Engineering (TASE 2012) 4-6 July 2012, Beijing, China http://selab.bjut.edu.cn/tase2012 For more information email: tase2012@bjut.edu.cn *********************************************************** Large scale software systems and the Internet are of growing concern to academia and industry. This poses new challenges to the various aspects of software engineering, for instance, the reliability of software development, Web-oriented software architecture and aspect and object-orientation techniques. As a result, new concepts and methodologies are required to enhance the development of software engineering from theoretical aspects. TASE 2012 is a forum for researchers from academia, industry and government to present ideas, results, and ongoing research on theoretical advances in software engineering. TASE 2012 is the sixth in a series of symposiums, sponsored by IEEE CS and IFIP. The first TASE symposium was held in Shanghai, China, in June 2007. The second TASE symposium was held in Nanjing, China, in June 2008. The third TASE symposium was held in Tianjin, China, in July 2009. The fourth TASE symposium was held in Taipei, in August 2010, and the fifth TASE symposium was held in Xi'an, China, in August 2011. Topics of Interest: Authors are invited to submit high quality technical papers describing original and unpublished work in all theoretical aspects of software engineering. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Requirements Engineering * Specification and Verification * Program Analysis * Software Testing * Model-Driven Engineering * Software Architectures and Design * Aspect and Object Orientation * Embedded and Real-Time Systems * Software Processes and Workflows * Component-Based Software Engineering * Software Safety, Security and Reliability * Reverse Engineering and Software Maintenance * Service-Oriented Computing * Semantic Web and Web Services * Type System and Theory * Program Logics and Calculus * Dependable Concurrency * Software Model Checking * Probability and Randomization All accepted papers will be included in IEEE Xplore and indexed by Ei Compendex. It is envisaged to invite the best tool-related contributions to a Special Section of STTT, Springer Verlag's Intern. Journal on Software Tools for Technology Transfer.
