Call for Research and Experience Papers
For decades the International Conference on Software Reuse (ICSR) has been the premier event in
the field of software reuse research and technology. The main goal of ICSR is to present the most
recent advances and breakthroughs in the area of software reuse and to promote an intensive and
continuous exchange among researchers and practitioners. The 13th International Conference on
Software Reuse (ICSR13) will be held on June 18-21 in Pisa, Italy. We invite submissions on new
research results in the area of software reuse, as well as tutorial and workshop proposals.
The theme of ICSR13 is “Safe and Secure Reuse.” Although reuse has been routinely practiced in
many domains for decades, its take-up has been slow in mission-critical domains due to real and
perceived problems in guaranteeing safety and security. But that is changing as practitioners and
researchers in these domains are seeking to reap the economic and quality benefits of systematic
reuse. In the automotive domain, the AUTOSAR architecture promises to deliver wide-scale
component reuse. In the aeronautics and space domains, standards efforts are seeking approaches
for component level certification. Builders of mission-critical systems everywhere are looking to
COTS to save on costs, but need to ensure the safety and security of those systems.
The development of mission-critical systems has led to many important issues in combination with
software reuse. These include, but are not limited to:
Beyond those new challenges for software reuse, we solicit submissions dealing with all aspects of
software reuse, including, but not limited to the following ones:
Paper
Submission
Novel and well-founded work in the wider area of software reuse is highly welcome. We look for
strong research work which might have a strong theoretical or empirical foundation. Theoretical
work should provide in particular innovative, leading edge work and should be based on a sound
theoretical basis. Empirical work based on case studies, empirical research and experiments is
highly welcome. Industrial submissions are strongly encouraged.
The proceedings of the conference will be published by Springer in its Lecture Notes in Computer
Science series. Submissions should conform to Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science
format, and are limited to 16 pages in length, in English. Short papers (up to 9 pages) are accepted
as well and should be marked appropriately. The authors of accepted papers are required to follow
the Springer guidelines in the preparation of the camera ready copy.
For submission deadlines please refer to the master schedule .
