[We apologise for multiple copies.] TASE 2007 1st IEEE & IFIP International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Software Engineering June 6 - 8, 2007, Shanghai, China http://www.sei.ecnu.edu.cn/TASE2007/ Call For Papers Submission Deadline: January 5, 2007 For more information e-mail: jifeng@sei.ecnu.edu.cn The 1st IEEE & IFIP Theoretical Aspects of Software Engineering Conference (TASE 2007), sponsored by IFIP and IEEE, will be held in Shanghai, China June 2007. Large scale software systems and 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 & Object-orientation techniques. As a result, new concepts and methodologies are required to enhance the development of software engineering from theoretical aspects. TASE 2007 is a forum for researchers from academia, industry and government to present ideas, results, and ongoing research on theoretical advances in Software Engineering. Topics of Interest: Authors are invited to submit manuscripts of original unpublished research in all theoretical areas of software engineering (Requirements, Specification, Testing, Workflows, Architectures, Verification, Languages, and Logics). The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Requirements Engineering * Specification and Validation * Software Testing * Component-based Development * Model Checking for Software * Software Processes and Workflows * Software Frameworks and Middleware * Software Architectures and Design * Software safety and reliability * Reverse Engineering and Software Maintenance * Aspect and Objected �Corientation Techniques * Embedded and Real-time Software * Service-oriented Computing and Web Services * Model-driven Development * Coordination and Feature Interaction * Parallel and Distributed Computing * Logics of Programs * Program Analysis * Semantics and Design of Programming Languages * Type Theory Submission Guidelines: Authors should submit and register their paper through our web-interface at: http://www.sei.ecnu.edu.cn/TASE07/submit by January 5, 2007(Web interface will be accessible after December 1, 2006). Submissions must not have been published or be concurrently considered for publication elsewhere. All submissions will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. They will be judged on the basis of originality, contribution to the field, technical and presentation quality, and relevance to the conference. The proceedings of the conference will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Papers must be written in English and not exceed 10 pages in IEEE format. Instructions for authors are available at http://computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm. Latex document classes can be downloaded from the website at ftp://pubftp.computer.org/Press/Outgoing/proceedings/.
