SEI Software Architecture Workshop for Educators
August 16-18, 2004
Pittsburgh, PA

This very successful workshop brought 10 college professors together to learn about software architecture, develop ideas about how to include software architecture in courses, and form the kernel of a community of software architecture educators.

The workshop began with a two-day course, “Software Architecture: Principles and Practices,” which is the root course in the SEI Software Architecture curriculum. This course introduced the basic concepts of software architecture including the relationship between system qualities and software architecture, architecture definition, architecture evaluation, architecture documentation, and architecture as a reusable asset. This course emphasized the importance of the business or mission context in which systems are designed and built. The third day consisted of a brainstorming session, led by SEI architecture team members, on the inclusion of SEI software architecture concepts and methods in academic courses.

Participants in the Software Architecture Workshop for Educators

Seventh DoD Software Product Line Workshop—Initiating Software Product Line Adoption in the DoD
Arlington, VA
September 22, 2004

The Seventh Annual DoD Software Product Line Workshop, “Initiating Software Product Line Adoption in the DoD,” was held in Arlington, VA, in September 2004. Twenty people from the DoD government and contractor community who are actively engaged in software product line practice came together to share experiences, issues, and ideas for launching product lines in the DoD environment. This year's attendees further reinforced the trend that organizations were implementing software product lines in the DoD context, rather than just thinking about it.

Members of the following organizations participated in the workshop: Austin Info Systems, PEO Aviation, Northrop Grumman, Rockwell Collins, United Defense LP, Argon Engineering Associates, NAVSEA Warfare Centers, Department of the Navy, Program Executive Office, U.S. Army Training Support Center, and U.S. Army PEO STRI.

Seventh International Symposium, CBSE 2004
May 24-25, 2004
Edinburgh, UK

Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE) concerns the development of software-intensive systems from reusable parts (components), the development of such reusable parts, and the maintenance and improvement of systems by means of component replacement and customization. Although CBSE holds considerable promise, many challenges face both researchers and practitioners in establishing CBSE as an efficient and proven engineering discipline. CBSE has been the focus of six workshops, held at the most recent six International Conferences on Software Engineering (ICSE). The premise of the last three CBSE workshops was that the long-term success of component-based development depends on the viability of an established science and technology foundation for achieving predictable quality in component-based systems. The intent of this symposium was to build on this premise and to provide a forum for more in-depth and substantive treatment of topics pertaining to predictability. This symposium brought together researchers and practitioners from a variety of disciplines related to CBSE to help establish cross-discipline insights, to provide a forum for presenting and discussing innovative approaches to CBSE, and to improve cooperation and mutual understanding.

Redondo Beach, CA
http://www.iccbss.org/2004/index.html

The Third International Conference on COTS-Based Software Systems (ICCBSS), held February 1-4, 2004 in Redondo Beach, CA, continued to make significant contributions to the growing field of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS)-based system practice and research.

Approximately 175 attendees from North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia gathered to exchange ideas and results. A maturation of the state of the practice was seen in a shift of conference emphasis from selecting a COTS product to engineering and managing the development and sustainment of complex COTS-based systems.

The major sponsors of the ICCBSS conference series are the Canadian National Research Council, the SEI, European Software Institute, and University of Southern California Center for Software Engineering. Northrop Grumman Corporation provided additional corporate sponsorship for ICCBSS 2004. Conference organizers included members from the sponsoring organizations as well as the University of Hawaii and the University of Maryland. Further information, including information about how to order the proceedings from Springer-Verlag, is available at the conference Web site.

The Software Engineering Institute's Third Software Product Line Conference, SPLC 2004, was a success, drawing 200 attendees from across the globe, with the majority of representatives coming from North America and Europe.

Paul Clements, SPLC 2004 chair and senior member of the technical staff at the SEI, stated that "we are here because we believe that software product line engineering is a powerful idea and that we have a shared vision: product line development is a low-risk, high-return proposition for the entire software engineering community."

This year's conference offered 18 presentations of quality research and experience papers, 14 tutorials, 6 workshops, 3 panels, and 7 product line demonstrations. The event was highlighted by keynote speaker Jack Greenfield, Microsoft architect for enterprise and frameworks, who unveiled Microsoft's plans to support the concept of software factories.

Other highlights of the conference included four new inductions into the Software Product Line Hall of Fame: General Motors' Powertrain product line, Salion, Inc.'s product line of revenue acquisition management systems, Ericsson's AXE family of telecommunication switches, and Phillips' product line of software for high-end television sets.
