12th International Conference on Software Composition (SC 2013)
June 17–21 2013, Budapest, Hungary
http://sc2013.ec-spride.de/

The International Conference on Software Composition (SC) is the leading
venue that addresses challenges of how composition of software parts may
be used to build and maintain large software systems.
Software Composition 2013 will be the 12th edition in the series, and we invite researchers and practitioners to submit high-quality papers. Submissions that relate theory and practice of software composition are particularly welcome. Software Composition 2013 is co-located with the TOOLS 2013 Federated Conferences, taking place in Budapest between June 17th and 21st 2013.

Topics of Interest:

The SC 2013 program committee seeks original, high-quality papers related to software composition, including but not limited to the
following topics:

* Component-based software engineering
* Composition and adaptation techniques
* Composition algebras, calculi and type systems
* Feature-oriented software development
* Aspect-oriented software development
* Model-driven composition
* Models of computation
* Verification, validation and testing
* Dynamic composition and reconfiguration
* Large-scale component-based systems
* Cloud, service-oriented architectures
* Business process orchestration
* Visual composition environments
* Performance optimization of composite systems

We solicit high-quality submissions on research results and/or experience (up to 16 pages, LNCS format, including bibliography and
figures) describing a technical contribution in depth. Short and position papers are also welcome for the work in progress session (up to 8 pages, LNCS format, including bibliography and figures). Short submissions must concisely capture ongoing work, new ideas, and
experiences.

Submitted papers will be judged on the basis of significance, relevance, correctness, originality, and clarity. Submitted papers must be
unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere. As in previous years, the proceedings of the conference will be published as a volume in Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science.
