Eighth International SIGSOFT Symposium on
Component-based Software Engineering (CBSE 2005): Software Components at Work

Retrospective

We thank the participants of the 2005 CBSE Symposium for another event filled with interesting discussions on both the state-of-the-art research and state-of-the-practice experience in Component-Based Software Engineering.

The proceedings are available online via SpringerLink, Springer's online electronic library of proceedings.

By July 1st 2005, we will post a set of slides documenting the discussions of the symposium as well as a full collection of slide presentations from the participants.

Goals and Scope

Component-based Software Engineering (CBSE) is concerned with the development of software intensive systems from reusable parts (components), the development of reusable parts, and system maintenance and improvement by means of component replacement and customization. A long-standing theme of the CBSE series is to promote a science and technology foundation for achieving predictable quality in software systems through the use of software component technology and its associated software engineering practices. CBSE 2005, "Software Components at Work," continues this theme, but with a special emphasis on the application of software components to real-world problems. Reports on the success and failure of CBSE to large-scale performance-critical systems are an essential ingredient to improving the state of the art and practice of CBSE. The ICSE CBSE symposium has a track record of bringing together researchers and practitioners from a variety of disciplines to promote a better understanding of CBSE from a diversity of perspectives, and to engage in lively discussion and debate.

CBSE 2005 is open to all participants interested in CBSE and related areas. The symposium addresses participants from both universities and industry.
