Workshop

The main goals of software reuse are to increase quality, reduce cost, and shorten development cycles. The interesting question in this context is: How to achieve reuse in constrained environments? In desktop and enterprise systems, object-orientation, components, frameworks, service-oriented architectures and, most recently, model-driven development are proposed as cornerstones for efficient reuse. In constrained environments (i.e. embedded and real time systems, PDAs, smart phones, settop boxes) reuse is not as simple, because most reuse techniques imply some kind of overhead: memory, performance, or determinism.

This workshop explores practical reuse techniques for constrained environments. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• middleware technologies
• quality of service provisions
• code composition and weaving
• code generation, composition and weaving
• small and efficient frameworks
• component infrastructures for embedded systems
• model driven development
• static variability and metaprogramming
• component composition
• design and architectural patterns
