*/THEME OF THE WORKSHOP/*
As software increases in size and becomes more complex and costly, the
need for techniques to ease software development is likewise increasing.
Over the last decade, pattern community has evolved and received more
interest in both academia and industry. Developing software using
patterns holds the promise to reduce the cost and condensing the time of
developing software systems, while simultaneously maintaining the
quality of these systems.
However, the potential of using patterns in developing systems is not
fully realized and we need to address many challenges. For example,
developing pattern repositories and catalogs, from which patterns can be
retrieved and reused, still forms a challenge to software engineering,
knowledge engineering and information systems communities. In addition,
the need for (semi-) automated approaches for patterns mining and
integration poses several open research questions to the software
engineering community. Many think these challenges and others preclude
the realization of the benefit of patterns as a reuse approach. This
workshop aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners who are
interested in resolving research challenges or who have practical
experience with the different issues of patterns reuse and integration
to discuss and advance the state-of-the-art and the
state-of-the-practice in patterns reuse.
Patterns have emerged as a promising reuse technique for both improving
the quality and reducing the cost and time of software development.
However, there is an immense belief that patterns have not fulfilled the
expectations software developers wanted. Nevertheless, this belief does
not rebuff the fact that patterns, as a concept, have the potential to
play a key role in developing systems in the near future. This near
future will never come unless there are serious attempts from both
developers and researchers to investigate and provide creative solutions
to current challenges that hinder utilizing patterns in practice. Among
these challenges, this workshop focuses on investigating how to develop
systems using patterns. We are sure that this topic will attract many
developers and researchers in the field to participate in this workshop.
*/WORKSHOP CHALLENGES/*
The workshop will address software patterns challenges and debate
several issues related to the following questions. We want researchers,
framework developers, and application developers to discuss and debate
the following questions related to:
*I. **Pattern Creation and Development*
a. Leaving experience claim on the side, can you show how to
create and develop patterns?
b. What are the bases of creating patterns?
c. Are there guidelines, methodologies, and/or processes for
pattern creations and developments?
d. Would you show an example or two?
*II. **Patterns Selection Process: *
a. How does one select analysis and design patterns to build any
system?
b. What is the basis for selecting these patterns?
c. If someone would like to build a system from patterns, how
does she select patterns?
d. What kind of patterns should one select to build a system from
patterns?
e. Is there a guideline for the selection process?
*III. **Patterns Composition*
a. How does one integrate the selected patterns to build any
system? or How does one compose any system from patterns?
b. What are the various claims related to patterns composition?
Are they true?
c. Are there guidelines or techniques for patterns composition?
Would you illustrate how to use them?
*IV. **System of Patterns and General Reuse*
a. What do we mean when we say "systems of patterns"?
b. Are the various claims related to building any system from
patterns reasonable?
c. How to develop pattern repositories and catalogs, from which
patterns can be retrieved and reused?
d. Are there automated approaches for patterns mining and
integration?
e. What other concepts will help build any system from patterns?
.
*V. **Impacts*
a. What is the impact of software stability on the above issues?

*/PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSIONS/*
Detailed instructions for electronic paper submission and review process
can be found at http://www.compsac.org/. People interested in
participating in the workshop are requested to submit a short position
paper (*3-5 pages*) or regular workshop paper (limited to *6 pages*,
double spaced, including figures) representing views and experiences
relevant to the discussion topic. The title page should include a
maximum 150-word abstract, five keywords, full mailing address, e-mail
address, phone number, fax number, and a designated contact author.
Papers will be selected depending on the originality, quality and
relevance to the workshop. All submitted papers will be evaluated
according to its originality, significance, correctness, presentation
and relevance. Papers should be submitted electronically at:
http://compsac.cs.iastate.edu/2007/SPAC/
<http://compsac.cs.iastate.edu/2007/EMOBS/index.php?authorsInstructions=1>.
Please follow the instructions given by the web page. Camera Ready
manuscripts must be submitted following IEEE conference proceedings
style and guidelines. We encourage authors to present novel ideas,
critique of existing work, and practical studies.
Each accepted paper must be presented in person by the author or one of
the authors. To foster lively discussions, each author is encouraged to
present open questions and one or two main statements that will be
discussed at the workshop. Submissions must be either MS-Word or RTF
formats (please, DO NOT compress files).
Depending on the number and spread of contributions, the scope may be
narrowed to ensure effective communication and information sharing.
Accepted position papers will be distributed to the participants before
the workshop and made generally available through the WWW and FTP.
Accepted papers will be published in the Workshop Proceedings of the
31st IEEE Computer Software and Applications Conference (COMPSAC 2007
<http://conferences.computer.org/compsac/2007/>). At least one of the
authors of each accepted paper must register as a full participant in
the workshop to have the paper published in the COMPSAC 2007
Proceedings. The workshop selected best papers will be published in
online Journal of International Journal Of Patterns (IJOP) –
*www.ijop.org <http://www.ijop.org>*

*/PROPOSED AGENDA/*
1. Welcome and introduction of participants. The organizers will first
give a short overview of any open issues and of the main arguments
arising out of the position papers. (Estimated time: 20-30 minutes)
2. Selected authors (representing the main trends) will be given 20
minutes to explain how their position relates to other positions and
what each sees as the three major issues. We expect about 5-10 position
papers. (Estimated time: 120-130 minutes)
3. The organizers will propose an identification of the major issues,
and the participants will then discuss and select what they think are
the hottest issues to be examined. (Estimated time: 10-15 minutes)
4. The participants will work for 70-95 minutes in small groups, with a
designated moderator in each group. The groups will each deal with two
different hot issues identified and will produce a summary in the form
of points and counterpoints, showing either how several views are
irreducibly opposed or how they are complementary.
The number of groups will depend on the number of participants and
number of issues selected; ideally there should be 3-5 p people in each
group. (Estimated time: 60-70 minutes)
5. Each group will be given 10-15 minutes to present its findings to the
workshop. A closing discussion will follow. The workshop report will
be written on the basis of these findings and will include an agenda for
future exploration and cooperation; it will
be made available through the WWW and FTP. (Estimated time: 50-60
minutes for five teams)
(Total estimated time: 285-315 minutes, i.e. about five hours +/- 15
minutes; lunch and breaks are not included.)
