<p><font face=″Trebuchet MS″>Component–based Software Engineering (CBSE) has emerged as a technology for the rapid assembly of flexible software systems. CBSE combines elements of software architecture, modular software design, software verification, configuration and deployment. To foster exchange and collaboration with the software architecture community, CBSE is colocated with the <a href=″http://qosa.ipd.uka.de/QoSA09″ target=″_new″>Quality of Software Architectures Conference (QoSA)</a> as part of the federated <a href=″http://www.comparch–events.org/″ target=″_new″>CompArch</a> event.</font></p> <p><font face=″Trebuchet MS″>The 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 active discussion and debate. CBSE 2009 is open to all participants interested in CBSE and related areas. The symposium addresses participants from both universities and industry.</font></p> <p><font face=″Trebuchet MS″>The theoretical foundations of component specification, composition, analysis and verification continue to pose research challenges. While the engineering models and methods for component software development are slowly maturing, new trends in global services, distributed systems architectures, and large scale software systems that cross organizational boundaries push the limits of established and tested component–based methods, tools and platforms: </font></p> <ul><li><font face=″Trebuchet MS″>model–driven development and grid technologies with their high–performance demands in massive data storage, computational complexity and global co–scheduling of scientific models in flagship science, technology and medicine research; </font></li><li><font face=″Trebuchet MS″>global software development with its lowering of cost of software capabilities and production, through automation, off–shoring and outsourcing of key components and subsystems;</font></li><li><font face=″Trebuchet MS″>networked enterprise information systems and services architectures crossing enterprise, nation, legal and discipline boundaries; </font></li><li><font face=″Trebuchet MS″>shift from (globally distributed) software products to pervasive and ubiquitous services supported by deep software–intensive infrastructures and middleware and by increasingly flexible, adaptive and autonomous client and application server software.</font></li></ul> <p><font face=″Trebuchet MS″>CBSE 2009 will include contributions that explore how the nature of component– based software engineering is being influenced by developments in the field of software and global enterprise technology. In addition to presentations of papers, the symposium will incorporate working and industry sessions.</font></p> <h1><a name=″SpecialTheme″></a><font color=″#006699″ face=″Trebuchet MS″ size=″5″>Special Theme: Components for Large–Scale Systems of Systems and Ultra–Large Systems</font></h1> <p><font face=″Trebuchet MS″>CBSE 2009 is encouraging papers that address the theme of components for large–scale systems of systems and ultra–large systems. Such systems involve the coordination of a vast array of decentralized, heterogeneous and continually evolving subsystems, consequently meeting diverse and often conflicting requirements. The way that component technologies can move from assisting standard system architecture development to large–scale and ultra–large system development is an important open question. Each of the topics listed above apply equally to large–scale and ultra–large case as to traditional development, but the context may demand radically novel solutions to deal with autonomous system components. </font></p>
