WORKSHOP ABSTRACTS AND DATES
**************************************************************
14th Foudations of Aspect-Oriented Languages (FOAL 2015)
- Abstract
The workshop aims to foster work in foundations, including formal studies, promote the exchange of ideas, and encourage workers in the semantics and formal methods communities to consider advanced separation of concern mechanisms. All theoretical and foundational studies of this topic are welcome. Even though the workshop title contains the term "aspect-oriented", the workshop is not limited to aspect-oriented programming languages, but welcomes topics on other advanced separation of concern mechanisms such as feature-oriented or context-oriented programming.
Areas of interest include but are not limited to:
* Semantics of advanced separation of concern mechanisms,
* Specification and verification for languages with such mechanisms
* Type systems,
* Static analysis,
* Theory of testing,
* Theory of composition,
* Theory of translation (compilation) and rewriting,
* Comparison of different advanced modularization and separation of concern mechanisms.

Workshop on Live Adaptation of Software Systems (LASSY 2015)
- Abstract
The objective of the workshop on Live Adaptation of Software SYstems (LASSY) is to provide a space for discussion and collaboration of researchers working on the problem of live software adaptation from different research perspectives.
The scope of the LASSY workshop covers all topics relevant to dynamic adaptation of software systems, ranging from a computer science perspective covering the domains of programming languages, software and service composition, context-aware databases, flexible query languages, multimodal interfaces, and UI adaptation, to a human perspective, covering sociological, epistemological or even legal implications of dynamic software adaptations. The workshop invites submissions of new or visionary work in any of these perspectives individually, or in a combination of several of these topics.

1st Workshop on Next Generation of Modularity Approaches for Multiple Dimensions of Sustainability, 2015
- Abstract
Over the last several decades, sustainability has becoming an urgent issue. As the Internet becomes increasingly pervasive in our daily lives, we witness the rise of global systems that handle large, complex, networked and heterogeneous systems that involve software, a wide range of hardware devices, people, and their environment. In this setting, the cyberspace and the physical world blend into a single and complex cyber-physical system. Such software-intensive global systems are present in many relevant socio-economic domains such as smart cities (including urban planning, energy, transport, emergency systems) and Earth observations, thus strongly affecting human life on our planet. Consequently, we believe that the next generation of modelling approaches should support multiple dimensions of sustainability, ranging from long lasting dependable and dynamically adaptive software, to green software requiring less computing and energy resources, to software that encourages sustainable human behaviour (e.g., smart plugs and appliances, and market design and regulations that transition consumers towards more energy-saving practices; the so-called power of the negawatt).
Approaches supporting various dimensions of sustainability are likely to have a substantial positive impact on people and the environment for the short term and the long term. This workshop intends to identify new modularisation approaches to meet the challenges posed by the sea change in the nature of sustainable, global software systems, which is considerably different from the traditional modularisation approaches perspective.
