AOSD Summer School 2009:
The fourth Summer School on Aspect-Oriented Software Development (AOSD), organized by Rémi Douence and Thomas Ledoux from the ASCOLA team in August 2009 (see http://www.emn.fr/x-info/aosdsc09/ ), provided an intensive week of lectures on advanced aspect-oriented topics in the context of programming languages, analysis and design, formal methods and application domains. This summer school brought together PhD students and lecturers as well as other researchers and practitioners who were interested in aspect-oriented software development. We have welcomed 38 attendees from 4 different continents.
DSAL: Jacques Noyé has co-organized the 4th international workshop on “Domain-Specific Aspect Languages” (DSAL 2009) [38] hosted by the 8th International Conference on Aspect-Oriented Software Development (Charlottesville, VA, USA, March 2009). The DSAL workshop series aims to bring the research communities of domain-specific language engineering and domain-specific aspect design together. This fourth edition focuses on language embedding that raises specific issues for language designers, such as proper symbiosis between, and composition of, domain-specific extensions (DSXs).
SPL Day: Jean-Claude Royer organized a meeting in Nantes October 15 on “Software Factories and Software product Lines”, (see http://www.emn.fr/x-di/productlines/ ). Thirty participants attended this event, mostly from industry.
Les jeudis de l'objet: This bimonthly industrial seminar organized by our group is now ten years old. Surviving the annual conferences Objet/OCM, it has become a great place for local industry to acquire knowledge about emerging technology, exchange ideas about state-of-the-art technologies, share experiences around the technologies associated with objects and components. Each seminar presents either a state of the art of an emerging technology (Spring, Ruby on Rails, Google Web Toolkit, etc.) or feedback on an industrial project in the field of large software architectures (mobility-based applications in a small enterprise, open source middleware...). For more details on the past/future agenda, go to http://www.emn.fr/jeudis-objet .
