=======================================================================

Modularity transcending traditional abstraction boundaries is essential for developing complex modern systems, particularly software and software-intensive systems. Aspect-oriented and other new forms of modularity and abstraction are attracting significant attention across many domains, both within and beyond computer science. As the premier international conference on modularity, AOSD continues to advance our understanding of separation of concerns, modularity, and abstraction in the broadest senses of these terms.

The 2012 AOSD conference will comprise Research Results and Modularity Visions. Both categories invited full, scholarly papers of the highest quality on new ideas and results in areas that included but were not limited to complex systems, software engineering, languages, cyber- physical systems, and other areas across the whole system life cycle.

Research Results papers contribute significant new research results with rigorous and substantial validation of specific technical claims based on scientifically sound reflections on experience, analysis, or experimentation.

Modularity Visions papers present compelling new ideas in modularity, including strong cases for significance, novelty, validity, and potential impact based on thorough scholarly argumentation and early results.

A summary of the program is provided below.

Please consult http://aosd.net/2012 for details and up-to-date information.

We invite you to attend MODULARITY: aosd 2012!
